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.

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.

This must have been one of the strangest movies I've seen all year, and I both liked and disliked it. There's something almost comical about the way this movie progresses and I couldn't help but laugh out loud a few times during it.

I saw it as a sneak preview in our local theatre since it won't be realeased until January here and was actually very excited they picked this movie. The trailers looked great and I thought it would be a different vibe because of those trailers.

Ed had some great lines though. I love Ed.

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.

I really did want to like this movie, who doesn't enjoy watching a bit of Mr Reeves, but sadly it's not great. I was sure I had seen this before, but I was wrong, bigger sci fi enthusiasts will I'm sure know the film I mean, where a woman dies, and is brought back by her husband.

Plot holes, plot holes galore, maybe the script editor had a day off, at times it is quite laughable.

The concept is quite nice, but the realisation want perhaps the best, at times the acting seemed a little bit off, even Keanu himself.

Some nice special effects, but not enough to save the movie. 5/10.
