I'd love a review from someone on here, so go for it. I'm still interested but am waiting for it to come to streaming. I just adore Keanu and I love Scifi. I love Keanu and love Scifi but this one is Very Very bad. BUT: its highly entertaining at the same time, so i will recommend it. Keanu sadly doesnt have the emotional depth to carry this role that requires A LOT of nuanced and emotionnally charged acting. but we knew that about Keanu and we still love him right? So not a problem for me. But the writing is So silly. The basic story is ok although it feels done to death, but the actual details are so messed up. BUT the pacing is decent Because the script doesnt waste time exploring logical things it just makes up quick and easy solution. Overall if you accept their game and see this as a Keanu heavy flick that has some entertaining value as a nonsensical and sadly underbudgeted and under directed scifi, u Can still enjoy it. i did. honestly i wasnt bored for a minute and dont hate the movie at all. Was it bad? Hell yeah. So bad I wonder why Keanu did it. But was it entertaining? u bet. I even laughed a few times. So i say - go for it. Not really a cinema material but a fun flick to watch. Had it come out in early 90ies it would have been much better received. Too bad everything about it feels s3uper outdated... I just watched it. Yes, the reviews are bad. But surprisingly about 80 to 90 percent of Google users liked it. I thought everything about it was good, except the writing. SPOILERS !!! Who would buy a scientist not calling the police or ambulance right after an accident? But instead calling his scientist assistant to try to regenerate his family? It's crazy things like this where you just have to tell yourself, "Well, it did get bad ratings and reviews." Inspite of writing gaffs like this, the movie was still fun. I am not a big Keanu fan. I don't like or hate him. But I like Alice Eve. Glad he was able to bring her back !!!

Glad he was able to bring her back !!! yeah i agree. the prpblem is that often the writting is what makes or breaks the film. but i kinda agree with you i also enjoyed it, just thought it was stupid... i didnt have that much problem with him not callig the police (he knew what he wanted to do and couldnt have involved the cops) but much more I was annoyed about the clumsiness of the cloning proces. so wait like they clone them perfectly the same including individual hair styles and such?

Another thing that bothered me was, towards the end, they are flying around Puerto Rico in dangerous car chases, the head of the project is promising to kill Keanu's family, he kills Keanu's assistant --- and nobody thinks about calling the police !!! All that is illegal. Ridiculous. But once again, I just laughed and told myself, "Well, it did get bad ratings and reviews." (One thing about not calling emergency services after the initial crash that supposedly killed his family, maybe it was the way it was edited, but they don't show him checking for vital signs. I know he is a scientist. But he wasn't a doctor. Usually when people drown, CPR is a good thing to try. Maybe it was just the way it was edited. Nobody ever found the car that was sticking up out of the water the whole time Keanu is planning and executing plan B? Nobody else except the family knew about the youngest daughter? Keanu said they went to the mainland to stay with the grandmother. Nobody checks? Too many holes we have to fill in with, "Well maybe . . . ")

I posted about this one on Film General. It's so bad that it might end up a cult classic down the road, lol.
