Reception
A review in the Monthly Film Bulletin stated that the films story and sub-plots are "almost enough to fill three or four less exuberant action-sepctacles" but was a better than average film of its genre noting its "pace, verve and panache essential for entertainment of this kind"[4]
gollark: (this isn't about a single actual physical molecule or something changing, but the genes for it changing slightly over time and producing different verisons)
gollark: I guess so. If you need, say, ten changes to an enzyme to bring it from one state to a much better one, but it works much worse/totally breaks while it's in the middle of both, it's hard for it to evolve to the better version.
gollark: If one what is stuck?
gollark: I was going to say, though: with human eyes - the light-sensitive bit is behind some other stuff, and while a goal-directed human engineer would probably go "I'll just rotate this thing then", if you don't have a convenient series of changes which still leave everything working in each intermediate state, you can't really get it evolving into the new version.
gollark: I... don't really know a massive amount about this, to be honest.
