(This review may contain spoilers).
This movie is one that I originally saw at the cinema and then bought it on DVD. I’ve watched it many times before and I just now finished watching it again.
I think this might be the first film I ever saw Scarlett Johansson in. I remember being really intrigued by the idea behind the film and that was why I went to see it originally.
Clones aren’t a really unique idea, but I felt that this film combined quite a few genres. It didn’t come across as particularly confusing, though, and even though someone could point at all the reasons cloning adults wouldn’t work, I think it made sense in the course of the film.
There were quite a few actors I’ve seen before in this film and I felt that they did a particular good job. The evolution of the characters made sense and I could really believe in and relate to them as characters.
Although I have seen this film several times before, it still held my attention throughout. I always have respect for actors who are able to play two completely different characters during the course of a film – and I really felt Ewan McGregor did a good job of that.
There were some amusing moments in this film and also other moments that were much more emotional. If you’re looking for a science fiction film that doesn’t contain aliens or space travel, this is one that I would recommend.
