I Origins

CriticsCritics: 54
AudienceAudience: 7.2

A molecular biologist studies the human eye, and the findings ripple outward into bigger questions about what it means to be human. As science meets spiritual belief, the investigation and a complicated relationship collide, pushing the story beyond the lab.

My take

If you enjoy blendable sci-fi and spirituality with a tender, emotional core, I Origins may hit the right note; Not for you if you want straightforward explanations or hate vague metaphysical storytelling—try Ex Machina or Gattaca instead.
