Just saw it last night. It was decently entertaining but had some serious flaws. I wish they would have made it more of a mystery instead of giving clues as to what is going on so early. I was kind of amazed that the girl I watched it with didn't realize what was happening until the buscemi character explained it. You should have figured it out 10 minutes into the movie!

Cool flick.
Scarlett Johansson makes my loins ache.
That is all.


Yeah, I don't even really remember what the movie was about, but she looked ridiculous in that movie.

Just watched it. The plot was real good, but I thought the idea was just too big for 1 movie. I mean the ending was kind of crap because there was no way to end it.... the clones all escape, now what? Also, why did the police and the private group stop chasing the two after they landed on the net that saved them from falling off the building? If you know what I'm talking about, great.

I was cracking up at the ending. I didnt know if i was happy to see all those clones free or afraid of it. The clones kicking those private groups of marines ass was also funny as hell. Very entertaining movie.

gah it was dumb. i mean sure it had potential with the cloning humans/ethics stuff but it can't pull it off. a giant city of clones with tons of workers that have to keep it secret? thats likely:p ability to fast grow adult people yet unable to just grow the organs..or harvest them right away? yea right:p the explanation was a cop out anyways. the two escape on foot from a place out in the middle of no where against a security force that has to have some kinda fast transportatioin...gah, it goes on and on with the stupidity with a few action sequences to fill in the huge gaps. scarlett johanson is hot, but she doesnt even show her b00bies so meh, not that it would be enough to save this sorry excuse for scifi. worse than arnolds the 6th day. atleast with arnold films theres a certain camp factor from arnolds presence that lets the film get away with lots of stuff. and you believe he can handle himself in action sequences. this was just endless absurdity.

I was expecting so little from that movie that I was actually pleasantly surprised with how good it was... had it been hyped up at all I would have thought it was horrible, but since every critic in the country couldn't stop saying how horrible it was it didn't have a lot to live up to.
