I must comment on this:  this is one of my favorite films!  (OK, now you
know my bias ...)

The attractive features for me are (not in order):  the use of the 2nd
movement of Beethoven's 7th symphony;  the idea that a civilization can
be so advanced as to be sick of itself;  the idea that immortal people
become so tired and despairing of living that they would leap at the
chance to die.

There are interesting observations about God, genetic engineering, and
immortality (obviously).  See this film!  Especially in a theatre!
