Having just seen the movie today (I seriously only go to one or two movies per year) I was somewhat disappointed in the overall lack of intriguing special effects other than the expected morphs. As you can se, my list favours the women...but I still felt my usual bitterness upon leaving the theatre that in this, as in just about any movie, women are allowed to be "mutant" and "different" but only on the condition that they're in their teens or early 20s with very slender bodies. I guess movies, TV and media in general are engineered to suggest that women in their mid-thirties with convex bellies are only suited for either having children or working at menial jobs (or both) not for being interesting, glamourous or (god forbid) sexy.
