The Clone - Chiave per l'immortalità

Although there are some action scenes and the story is based on human cloning, the film is philosophical.

It has a deep core and asks deep questions.. Why do we fear death? Why we want to live forever?

Is "how long we live" more important than "how we live"?

Are we living well?

Is there a purpose for our life?

The moment our death approaches, will we say that we regret or that we are proud of how we lived?

What would the world look like if humans could choose to live forever?

The film indirectly answers all these questions. And in the end Ki Heon answers the most important question.... Do you know now how the world gonna be if humans could find a way to immortality? And he answers, "Yes, I know." Ki heon represents a normal human who fears death and wishes to live longer and Seobok is immortality sought by everyone.

If you are expecting an action movie, the movie will be disappointing. It is a philosophical movie about human nature, death and life. And how humans might destroy each other if they could control who lives and who dies.

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.

Entertaining big-budget sci-fi thriller. I have to say I mostly got what I wanted out of it, and that's a mix of pathos, road film and some action for good measure. It does have its shortcomings that keep it from being great, though.

Imagine having a male Asian version of Eleven from Stranger Things. Then give him a Frankenstein-type backstory and pair him with a skilled secret agent who has his own brand of unsavory past. They're the centerpiece of the film and their gradual bonding is at the heart of the story. This is the kind of thriller that takes cues from modern Hollywood cinema, but keeps that Korean flair in trying to wring out real emotions from its characters while putting them in some tough spots. It even goes overboard in that regard, with some slightly predictable, almost underwhelming scenes in the second half. The film's focus switches from an entertaining, sometimes touching road trip to borderline-corny melodrama with occasional SFX-heavy sequences. Still, even then the film has its moments; there's a particularly effective beach scene that manages to find a sense of melancholy amid all the obvious sugarcoating.

Overall, this is a polished, mostly fun and exciting ride that's worth a watch if you're into Korean genre fare and don't mind formulaic plotting. It won't blow you away, but it's got just enough going for it.

...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.
