I saw this shortly after learning that live liver donation* is absolutely a thing, and that made it particularly surreal. They could have picked any organ for this! Why pick one where there's no actual conflict involved?

*(They just cut half of it off and give it to someone else. Then both halves grow back into full livers in, like, a week. It's wild.)

That *is* wild. Sadly though, if you cut a clone in half, they don't grow two complete Scarlett Johanssons.

This plot is the best explanation for Matt Gaetz.

How do good actors wind up in such bad movies? It is possible to make a good clone movie (ie. Never Let Me Go), but this definitely doesn’t seem like one.

This movie also proves the old adage, "always steal from the best." Because Bay stole from PARTS: THE CLONUS HORROR. He literally cloned a bad movie about cloning. And frankly, that's a little TOO much commitment to the bit.

I aways get this movie confused with The Fountain.

Or maybe Les Miz. Or Chappie. Something with Hugh Jackman, at any rate.

Was Hugh Jackman in Chappie? I thought he was in Real Steel.

And he was in Real Steel, as well

Or maybe it was Flushed Away.

Would I lie to you?

Don't answer that.
