You know, I thought for him, it was really good. He used his face and his eyes and was way more animated. Plus, he didn't sound like he was lying all the time like he used to (bad actors often sound lie they're lying to me).

The evil people didn't get to have their fake miracle, they didn't get to have the genetically engineered messiah to use and abuse the world with (they say it's the twins that are protecting Aurora when the bullets can't hit her so they have some hefty powers).
Their agenda could have been elaborated uponI would have enjoyed that. My guess is that it's supposed to be a manufactured religion like Scientology, and thatas a generalityanything that would have made that woman happy would have to have been very, very bad for everybody else.
Plus, just because the kidletts were manufactured, doesn't mean they couldn't make the world a better place.

We became obsolete and they became homo superior and inherited the plant and, presumably stopped screwing it up.
Not bad film, not great but messes with people's heads.
Massacre of the innocents, flight into Egypt(America), Virgin birth, sorrowing mother of God(s). Man who dies and comes back to life with tattoo on back referencing Egyptian resurection story. etc.
Obviously, there was a lot that people don't get and when they don't get it, they don't like it
I liked the bit after the fact with the cloned cats, obviously they recognized a sister
Not entirely successful but a nice attempt at being thought provoking. The fact that most don't get it means though that it failed.

I'm curious, how do you explain Aurora's seemingly psychic powers and extreme empathy? I know her brain was like a computer but still, her ability to literally feel the pain of others or know of things that she's never experienced?

I'm still trying to figure out why they introduced the whole idea of her carrying a virus that would end the world and then just dropped the plotline completely! I was sort of veering toward a THE REAPING plotline the way it was first going, but then it just went 180 in another direction with the ending. CRAZY!
Then again, I am still trying to figure out how wooden Hayden Christensen's Jumper all of a sudden had some ability to teleport through time and space and none of it was EVER explained, and why Diane Lane got a paycheck to just show up for 4 seconds and be his mother and a paladin. I think Jamie Bell's Austin should have killed both of them, and then come to upstate NY to tell Turep he's a frickin paladin too and that his twins are jumpers and kill them all.
I hate incoherent plot points that are never explained!!!!!!!!!!!

The horribleness was averted by keeping the kidletts out of the hands of the bad lady. It's not a perfect wrapped up with a bow ending. It's more like "hey kids, if you liked this, you'll LOVE Babylon AD 2The Toddling.

Toorop's friend thought that she was showing symptoms of having a virus and assumed it was a viral weapon. This made it seem like the pill that made Aurora sick was a virus of somesort. It turns out that this was not a weaponas in a manufactured plagueit was a virus that was used to make the twins. Aurora was genetically manufactured to respond to the virus by becoming pregnant.

Scientology is as manufactured as many other religions. I feel that if you look at the beginnings of Scientology and those of other religions the people of that time may have felt that Christianity, Buddhism and all the rest were just as 'manufactured' as we feel Scientology is now. I feel it sticks out more to us since it is based on information we generally consider to be science fiction.
I am not a Scientologist, I am just saying, why do people consider walking on water, virgin births, resurrections and such to be so much more plausible than aliens. They have faith, you have faith. May be funnier faith but not less plausible.
on a side note i really want one of these 3 wheeled bikes -

Scientology is as manufactured as many other religions.
Scientology charges money for access to their "revelations" - that's pretty much the definition of a cult and disqualifies it as a legitimate religion. -

Um, tithing, anyone?
Tithes are essentially a tax from when the church was effectively the government. Furthermore, paying a tithe does not entitle you to access to any secret chapters of the bible or any other scripture that is hidden from those who do not pay.
