This was pure tripe

Good grief. Why. Why why why. The concept of cryogenics is such a fascinating topic. This movie makes it boring and incredibly tedious. An over privileged spoiled man freezes self when he has a terminal illness and when he's reanimated as the first successful one, he's whiny and dull and unappreciative. Even worse we have to listen to his monologue (soooo dull) over the film and watch his sadistic memories as a kid (lizard shooting? Chicken beheadings? Mean preteen friends?). He doesn't deserve to be reanimated. Then he's told that his life long love never got over him and froze herself at age 50 in hopes to join him in the future. So what does he do? He lets her tank unfreeze so she'll never be able to be reanimated. Afraid she'll be too old for him??? How terribly selfish and cruel. Gimme a break. Can someone write a better movie on this great subject matter please?
