THIS MOVIE IS FICTION.

Just to be absolutely clear... THIS MOVIE IS FICTION. It is NOT a documentary. It dresses itself up as a documentary and tries to pass itself off as a documentary. It does have some genuine interviews with real people (Ray Kurzweil, for example), but much of it is scripted. FM-2030 was a real man and he was cryogenically preserved, but that's it. The rest of this movie is fiction and scripted. And several of the scenes just have bad acting.

There are even sections that they pretend is footage of the real FM, but it's actually an Indian actor with make-up done up to look like FM. Those sections are done by filming a grainy TV image with a camera, so it's deliberately hard to see, but it's definitely an actor in makeup. Also, the "body" on the table at the end is DEFINITELY not FM. Much too young. Of course, by the end of the film, they have given up on the pretense that this is a documentary.

I was so disappointed. I saw this and it looked like a documentary and I was excited to learn more about FM, but I was SO disappointed by this film. It was also very long and drawn out. They could have told this story in half the length of time. If you want to learn more about FM 2030, look elsewhere. This movie shows very little of him.
