Action movie with very promising first 30 minutes (this could have been a REALLY great movie!) but after that it turns into a typical and boring "Michael-Bay-Crash-BOOOM-BANG action flick"!

One of the best from Michael Bay. Since it's not all about explosions and is a pretty good movies about clones.

Concept vehicles, concept future world, concept cloning. Watched it for ScarJo and I was happy.

Finally I'd climb out of a plot hole but then immediately fall into another one. I experienced that the entire film

Largely pointless. There's a chase sequence where I just want the heroes to smash into a building and bring everything to a merciful ending.

I really enjoyed this, it had a unique premise that was predicable but not completely ridiculous.

Ok so I don't claim to be scientifically inclined and correct me if I'm talking out of my ass here...but if the primary motivation for cloning is to harvest organs, why not just clone only the organs? Surely if they have the medical technology needed to clone entire human beings they can simply clone want they need? I would think it save costs as well as avoid at least _some_ of the ethical dilemma.

Great first half of the reveals were fantastic. But the second half seemed like one big chase scene that I found very uninteresting. Then I saw it was a Michael bay film and it all made sense. It would have been better as a black mirror episode or maybe just shorter.

Brilliant first hour - great plot concept, well executed, good pacing. Then Bay can't help but ruin it...

Choppy fast paced edits are one thing. Two CGI stunt sequences that would embarrass a Roger Moore Bond film are another... Totally unnecessary and they ruin the movie really.

It's an enjoyable watch. It could have been much, much more.

The story works as an allegory to life in general. The concept also doesn't seem overly far-fetched given where science is in this area - and the lengths the rich will go to.


6.5/10

Not many movies are saved by the story until about the middle. Just yikes. Bay's directing style gives me headaches.

The conception of this film has a great potential, and Bay ruins it as much as he can. Instead of focusing on the moral questions this topic could bring up, or focusing on the characters who could be much more interesting and are portrayed by legendary actors like McGregor and Buscemi, Mr. Bay decides to do his usual predictable action-scene montage and that TERRIBLY UGLY color grading. Also, this film has one of the lamest endings I have ever seen. It is just lame. They were already at 1 hour 40 minutes when they realized they should wrap the plot up as quick as they could to fit into the 2-hour limit. Could have been a masterpiece. I'm so sorry Bay directed it.

I love the idea behind it but I expected more from it especially in the end.

I used to love this movie as a kid. Will definitely not rewatch it, I want to avoid its flaws. Still, it was my sci-fi. I was addicted.

Very good movie - much better than expected. Plenty of action and enough twists to keep you interested.
The ending is somewhat predictable - what Hollywood movie isn't?
