This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
REPLIKATOR is an incredibly poor, Z-grade Canadian B-movie set in a futuristic world affected by a depleted ozone layer. The thrust of the plot is something to do with cloning technology, but this all takes second place to what is a very boring conspiracy-type thriller in which the heroes battle murky forces. Half the film seems to be set in a strip joint where an ageing former porn actress regularly takes her clothes off while the male onlookers look on. It's a slow and sedate affair, with no action or proper acting, devoid entirely of entertainment value.
This movie is better than your average LB flick. Michael St.Girard is charming (and sexy)in the two leading roles. The plot is a little confusing at times, but the mood and look of the film will hold you. I thought it was stylish and watchable. (Make sure to fast forward the scenes with Italian tacky queen, Cicalina. YUK)
On the video cover it says "Entertains and fascinates... futuristic FX...terrific cast!" DON'T BELIEVE THIS ! This is a BAD movie - don't waste your time. I could only stomach the first 30 minutes (with a heavy finger on the fast forward button) and did not see any special effects. And the Italian porn star? Yeeesh - give us a break - a few floppies here and there - yuk.
This is the good side of B movies. Someone didn't think the audience is total dumb. Some neat ideas, and although the special FX are not expensive looking some have a lot of humor (See the Justice Channel bit)and neat graphic looks. Dialogue runs with the confidence that we humble viewers might get more than the B movie plot, (film it and they will see!) and the film is layered and feels like a different, interesting world.I like Ned Beaty here. Brigit Bako is cool too. I want to see more with her.
