The Clone - Chiave per l'immortalità

There are many philosophical questions here ... what makes us who we are ... what keeps us sane ... the power of "immortality" (you can still die, but in theory you could also live forever) ... there are so many things that are being asked. Is death really the one thing that keeps us sane? How can we know for sure? Of course same can be said about the live forever theme ... as Queen asked in their song too ... though I reckon the first instinct always is to say yes. Survival instinct and all that.

Having said that, while this is about quite the philosophical themes ... it also has quite a lot of action in it. I personally like a lot of Korean movies and while I am not completely enamoured by this one, I still think it is more than a nice effort. The melodrama is a bit much ... and there is a lot of things that remain unanswered ... but of course they are ... how would the movie be able to answer things we do not know? See above ... still a neat Science Fiction action brain teaser to say the least.

...but somehow the script is not the best, and i think with the two lead actors they could've done so much more and better (because they are both great), but it stays a bit on the surface over all. Too bad!

The movie was overall good. It was pretty intense,barely could guess what is going to happen in the end.

Taking about the plot it follows a scientific experiment of clone called Seobok who can cure all human diseases and also an immortal being . A man with a brain tumor is called for the first trailer of the experiment as he was the most reliable and coward person. While shifting Seobok from the science lab a group of americans attacked them and took them to another place. Min Gi and Seobok somehow escaped the place but Seaobok wants to go the church. After that when they went to the lab where Min Gi wanted Seobok to leave.

So questions arise, Who were those americans who attacked them and why?

Why Seobok a cone wants to go to church?

Why Min Gi wants Seobok to leave the lab all of a sudden ?

I said it has a vibe of ''Stranger things '' Seobok pretty resembles Eleven. Eleven has telepathy power with it she can move or destroy things, seobok does the same. Both are the product of Scientific Experiment. Like ''Stranger things'' group of friends want to save Eleven and so does the Min Gi .

Of course Stranger things is far better than this one. But it resembles a bit that it.

I love both leads who worked hard to overcome a mediocre script. The film began okay, quickly became muddled, developed large holes, and then fell apart. But I did think the ending worked okay.

Despite of two of well known South Korea actor and one of my Favorites actor Goong Yoo teamed up with young talented actor Park Bo Gum, this movie kinda wasted their talent, if is not because their acting and lets put other unknown actor in it, this movie sadly will fail horribly, even Goong Yo and Park Bo Gum can't save this movie with their performance, feel like the story don't know where to go, if i can call it as food, i call it as bland taste with great garnish, but you don't want taste it again because that bland taste despite beautiful garnish on top of the food, i almost forget as soon i walk away from cinema, like i watch thousand like this, but nothing new or come of as special from it, eventually there is not enough depth back-story that make me wanna root and feel empathy for main character, everything feel rushed and director doesn't know what their aim for, i feel it kinda try hard to questioning about life and death philosophy, but c'mon, can we doing better than Seo Book look like he just wanna show up his super power and another half between it just some talk about life and death crisis with Ki Heon, i give 2 star for story and add bonuses 3 star because i like Goong Yoo and Park Bo Gum, but now i feel pity for them because they even can't maximize their potential of great performance because bad script and mediocre dialogue inside the movie that make you wondering why you can't even remember just one meaningful dialog from this movie, but yeah, once again this what i call as bland movie, just watch this if sure you never witnessed any other Sci-Fi movie in your lifetime.
