Clone Movies, Ranked
Mickey 17 joins a surprisingly small canon of movies exploring what it means to be original.
This double has the original Kate’s hots but is otherwise a blank slate, and Max and his buddies teach her how to be what they think every guy’s ideal of a woman is … until clone’s bro-ish tendencies and sex drive get to be a little too much for them, leading to a bunch of crude, obvious jokes. Replicas might claim the greatest gulf between “thought-provoking, deep, and unsettling premise” and “dumber-than-dog-shit execution.” Keanu Reeves plays a scientist who uses the cutting-edge cloning and robotics technology his company is working on to covertly recreate his family after they die in a car crash. Without the hyperreal presentation 120fps offers, Gemini Man is a much more generic sci-fi actioner — and if you’re less wowed by the motorcycle chases, firefights, and explosions, you’re more likely to spend time scrutinizing the digital de-aging that pits present-day Smith against his Bel-Air-era self.
