I could teach it a fun game to pass the time.Subscribe: Google Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher | TuneIn | RSS It made me want someone else’s consciousness embedded into my own to endure it. The whole thing has absolutely no life to it (other than a brief shot of a forlorn Reeves hugging a stuffed pink unicorn that feels like it should be GIFed). ![]() Not even remotely. Most of it is shot in a flat visual style, and it’s all horribly lit and edited like a bad basic cable series. We’ll go with your goofy story, filmmakers, if you give us a cinematic reason to do so. "Replicas" is completely ludicrous on a dozen or so levels, but it depressingly avoids the camp or style needed to make an implausible story work as pure entertainment. “We need to get the algorithm!” They might as well have just called it a “doohickey.” At least that would have been funny. Once released he met another contract pilot, William Roger Reaves, who agreed to. ![]() “Replicas” is also the kind of movie that throws around words like algorithm as if they mean something significant. This is according to the Frontline documentary on the drug war. He was caught by the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and decided to turn over and help the DEA break the cartel. It’s a movie without a clear opinion of its own protagonist, which means we’re unlikely to care too, and the whole thing falls apart in terms of storytelling. 1991 1h 49m IMDb RATING 6.2 /10 321 YOUR RATING Rate Action Drama Based on a true story, this made-for-cable film tells about Barry Seal, a pilot who was a drug smuggler for the infamous Medellin cartel out of Colombia. They can't figure out if Will is messing with the natural order of things or just a loving father we should look at heroically. This is the kind of part that Nicolas Cage would have eaten alive, realizing that Will needs to be portrayed as an all-out maniac for this movie to work.Īs is, we’re not sure if we’re supposed to actually root for his playing God routine to succeed. Hiding the bodies of your family while you build clones of them in your basement is undeniably insane even in a sci-fi world, as is pretending to be your dead children as you text their friends to keep up the ruse, but Nachmanoff and Reeves don’t lean into the lunacy of it at all. John and director Jeffrey Nachmanoff never figured out what story they were trying to tell. The biggest problem with “Replicas” is that writer Chad St. Or in a way that’s remotely plausible or believable. However, it doesn’t go poorly in the way you might expect. 1883: The Bass Reeves Story will be a six-part limited series starring David Oyelowo as Reeves. Of course, anyone who’s seen a movie can guess this will go poorly. He also was nominated in the same category for playing Roger Maris in the 2001 HBO film 61. They will steal clone pods from Bionyne, make clones of the family, implant their brains in the clones, and they’ll never know anything even happened. He calls in Ed, who is also an expert in human cloning, and demands that they merge their nascent technologies. A rainy night leads to a car crash and leads to four dead bodies, every Foster but Will. The foreboding failure of Will’s latest experiment pushes “Replicas” into its real story when the Fosters-including wife Mona ( Alice Eve), eldest daughter Sophie ( Emily Alyn Lind), middle child Matt ( Emjay Anthony), and youngest child Zoe (Aria Lyric Leabu)-embark on a family vacation. ![]() Lots of yelling and ripping at metal ensues. It does not go well, as the consciousness understandably loses its cool when it sees metal hands and legs. ![]() In the film’s opening scene, Will and his lab partner Ed ( Thomas Middleditch) receive a donor, a recently deceased man whose neural map they extract and implant into a synthetic form. With a concept that echoes “Frankenstein” and “ Ex Machina” in its themes of playing God in a high-tech world, “Replicas” stars Keanu Reeves as Will Foster, a top employee at a company named Bionyne, where he is trying to basically transplant the human consciousness.
