Repo! The Genetic Opera


Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008)

From Imdb (did not quite get the movie)
"In the year 2056 - the not so distant future - an epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet. Out of the tragedy, a savior emerges: GeneCo, a biotech company that offers organ transplants, for a price. Those who miss their payments are scheduled for repossession and hunted by villainous Repo Men. In a world where surgery addicts are hooked on painkilling drugs and murder is sanctioned by law, a sheltered young girl searches for the cure to her own rare disease as well as information about her family's mysterious history. After being sucked into the haunting world of GeneCo, she is unable to turn back, as all of her questions will be answered at the wildly anticipated spectacular event: The Genetic Opera."

This movie I did not like. Sure I do not like musicals that much but the plot is boring, the songs are bad and most importantly Paris Hilton is in it. There are two awesome things that happens in this movie.
1. Joan Jett appears around 58 minutes into the movie, and before that nothing good happened.
2. Paris Hilton drops her face... literally.
I also have to admit the movie where amazingly shot and it had great potential. Unfortunately they did not use the opportunity.
Musical geeks might enjoy this movie, even people who don't... as long as they are either tired, high, drunk or just out of there mind.

I'll give this movie a 3.5/10, for how it was shoot.

I really thought this movie was going to be good, guess I bite the lemon there...

-Elin, scared by Paris, happy by Joan so now put your fussy knickers on....
