A young couple clone their dead son with horrible results - 2.75 out of 5 (8/19/2004)

And the point of this movie was....? - 2.5 out of 5 (9/7/2004)
I wish I could age 10 years with no visible change in my appearance. This is just the first of many plot devices in this movie that make no sense whatsoever.
Godsend skips over so many potentially interesting concepts only to serve up "Boo" type scares that are never explained.
The DVD features 4 alternate endings, none of which actually clear anything up or actually resolve the plotlines.
What a waste of three talented actors, not to mention my time.

There's nothing to complain about with the Audio. The dialogue is easily heard and the surrounds are aggressive when they need to be. The Video
