It was good acting but the plot was about as original as a tube of toothpaste, it was predictable, cliche, and the same as countless others. You knew what was going to happen and how it would end within the first 5-10min. Don't waste your time...unless you just watch the movie to see the hot guys. Then go right on ahead

I personally like the direction in which the storyline begins and seems to have a follow through of an innovative secondary and or ending, per-say. Needless to say, to see the title itself is quite a shock and awe only to see the struggle between the elder and youth with the love quarrel spiked with the aloof yet distinct backhand of tradition; young man wants it all sees it all and takes it all to be punished by it all collapsing on his head and front doorstep by his pretecessor and subconscious. Genius.

Interesting concept. Highly doubtful technology would take us to a place to transfer consciousness to a new body. But, like the movie, if it was available the business would prey on the truly desperate to immortalize the 1% of the wealthy. A bit twisted but worth watching once if for nothing more than talking points over dinner with friends. The what ifs.
