Clones: The Recreator Chronicles

CLONED: THE RECREATOR CHRONICLES is a sci-fi thriller that relies on suspense over explosive action. It puts three young characters -two male, one female- into the position of going up against their own replacements. Replacements that seem to be better in every way, and know everything they know.

This is a pretty creepy concept, and works fairly well. The title comes into play when the trio discovers what's really going on and that a diabolical plot is under way.

There are other "clones" involved as well, and they're equally unsettling in an INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS sort of way.

The only problem is that the excitement level isn't very high, which wouldn't be an issue if the story was a bit stronger and more developed...

I really didn't expect the film to be that good based off the score, but thought I would give it a go. It turns out to be a fairly slow paced light thriller. There is little action so its not for the Horror fans out there. More intellectual sorta movie

I actually enjoyed the story line and thought the pacing was very good. There are a few pot holes (I still don't get how the situation arose), but the acting was OK, and I actually cared about 1 of the characters (female lead), which is better than most movies are able to get me to.

Worth a shot if you have nothing else to do. Good time filler if you have nothing else to do. I have certainly seen higher ranked movies that weren't as enjoyable as this.

I expected a crappy barely passable thriller and it didn't turn out to be bad at all. The plot is really kind of laughable when you actually think about it. To think of dropping a deuce and having a copy of yourself climb out the septic tank and try & kill you is kind of funny. In the end they did manage to explain away the why's & what's. The scenic lake house served as a good backdrop, the production value was solid. The acting could have been better but in films like this you always get fresh faces & some wooden lines but I didn't roll my eyes at anything I could think of. The story as you probably already know is three friends go camping and it rains so they end up taking shelter inside this huge lake house that appeared to be empty at the time until they meet the second generation owner's & from that point everything goes down hill for the three of them as they end up being stuck in a cat and mouse game with their replicas. I think it was a 6/10 but to be more accurate more of a 5.5. Still it's not a horrible film. It all depends on if you are into wacky stuff like this, if you are not then I'd advise skipping it. If you are and are thinking about PPV'ing it I don't want to advise you to dive right into something you may not like, if there isn't anything in your favorite genre available & you like what I described then go for it. It will do fine to burn up 90 minutes. When you read reviews always click on their user name for credibility if it's their first one then most likely it's either a personal attack[(1/10)] or they are connected to the movie[(10/10)]

To be honest with all of you, this movie impressed me. My expectations were low based on some reviews elsewhere. I usually ignore reviews so that I might make my own judgment. I'm glad I continued that trend because I would have skipped this had I followed the majority of reviews I read. The only thing that really bugged me was the reactions of the three mains. They seemed oddly comfortable with what was happening. I guess if you have actors with zero emotional range you can't have them get too emotional. Otherwise, I enjoyed it. The ending was pretty nice too. Kind of an FU at the end. Nicely done overall. John de Lancie is the name in this flick but don't look forward to too much screen time from the veteran. His role is a quick flash of about five minutes total. This story centers more on the three friends and their experiences on the island.

I was not getting my hopes up on this film, as I think this kind of film has been done before, and it is nothing really new, but in some ways it is. But I thought it was entertaining enough for me to give it a positive spin, don't view this for blood and guts, titties, as it is not a horror film, and sorry no nudity scenes.

If you watch this with a light hearted approach then it is not bad entertainment, it flows just fine, no real slow boring moment, but no flash bang pace either.

The acting is OK, and a solid enough story line, but no Oscar winning performance either, give it a go, you can watch a hell of a lot worse.

7 out of 10 for me
