Synopsis: In 2230, a firm called Singularity dominates the world. Its head (Mc Kellen) is behind all power. Technology has made the world faster, prosperous and ever-young. But genetic transplants are getting out of control. A couple of scientists (Portman, Fox) with the help of a rebellious space-ship captain (Connery) are joining forces against Singularity.

What the press would say:

Lucas's new film brings us once more to the world of future. The film begins spectacularly depicting the vast changes that mankind will confront in the future. Total genetic modifications, change of bodies, nanobots circulating among the bloodstream. All that thanks to an exceptional team of Visual Effects Coordination. Even though screenplay is not Sci-Fi movies' cup of tea, Singularity's screenplay is exquisite, scientifically accurate, emotional and some times sensational. Portman and Fox give powerful performances impersonating the couple of scientists that get to know each other, falling in love and fight a multinational. They also share a long and sensual sex scene, one of the best in Sci-Fi movies. Sir Ian McKellen does a good job as the bad owner of the company and Sean Connery is superb in his role as the Captain that saves the couple and leads the people to fight against Singularity. A movie full of power, able to get (apart from the evident nods in Visual Effects, Sound and Sound Editing) some nods in the big 8 categories
