Replicas

The first half of the movie is relatively cringe worthy with some really bad dialog and directing. It feels like a rehearsal and not a good one with everyone seemingly just going through the motions, though camera work and production quality are decent. Makes it hard to get into it. Second half gets better if for no other reason than things don't quite go the direction you think you're getting setup for. It kept my attention through the second half but it wasn't easy sticking with it to that point.

I've seen some terrible acting in my life but this film really excels in that field. Expressionless faces, monotone voices. Robotic acting (no pun intended) and I'm not talking about any replicas.

Surprisingly I was able to look past all of this waiting to see where the plot was going as the storyline had me gripped.

This movie is not the best but it's definitely not the worst. If you are a person who enjoys watching movies without criticizing every little detail I think you'll enjoy it. I did laugh at the CGI but the rest of the movie was good. Those that are rating is it low are being really harsh. The only way you will know if you like it is if you give it a try.

I honestly have no clue why people would think this is a horrible movie. I wanted to watch an entertaining sci-fi movie and that's exactly what I got. No super high tech features but a story that makes complete sense and that is futuristic but not that utopic. What would we all do if we lost loved ones and we had the capabilities to bring them back? It's an interesting story, easy to follow and to understand, keeping you interested until the end. Some reviewers wrote the acting was terrible but I can't agree with that at all. It might not be Oscar winning acting but it was for sure better than the average.

Yes, the story is lacking, the characters lack depth. There's like no chemistry between Keanu and Alice.. I'm a fan of Keanu and I'm in love with Alice Eve but seriously! Together there's nothing... That being said, it's an entertaining tale that explores a scenario that is plausible in the near future. It makes you question our ethics and morals when it comes to cloning and that's enough for me to like the movie. I won't be watching it twice and it won't turn into a classic, but it's not as terrible like people claim it is on here.
