Actually I thought it was a shithouse movie (despite its prettiness), 
but not for any reason a tender hearted humanist would accept. The 
wonderful damaged natural human with a dud heart swims out after his 
(by hypothesis) supermanized gene-optimized big brother who's always 
(of course) beaten the pants off him before but is now about to 
drown, and saves him, driven by *sheer human dogged grit and pluck*! 
At the end, I dimly recall, he passes himself off as a standard 
superman for a trip to Mars or somethun, even though his heart will 
with p = 0.997 explode en route from the stress; instead of 
chastizing him for putting everyone else's lives at risk by bumping 
the real expert, we're meant to see this as a triumph for sheer human 
dogged grit and pluck, rather than selfish bastardry. Ah well.
