Review: (#1) A vat of sexy liquid is neither sexy nor interesting and the general motif stretched across the entire design is unappealing. (#2) The tech details here add flash and depth even if it’s overly chaotic for the most part. (#3) This cheap design is extremely bland and lacking in excitement. (#4) Another cheap looking design that mistakes murkiness for tension. (#5) Why the designers are laser-focused on Keanu Reeves in his corny headpiece is anyone’s guess. This design is only saved by the color and angular lines. (#6) This may give the wrong impression, that Reeves’ character is also a clone, but it could also give away a plot twist that isn’t particularly interesting or original.

Trailer Rating: C+ / C-

Review: (#1) The concept isn’t a bad one, but the trailer certainly suggests the execution isn’t there to make this a genuinely good movie.

(#2) Exposing more of the film’s premise doesn’t make it look that much more interesting. It only serves to make it look duller, less inspired, and more predictable than it intends.
