Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

*regarding clones*Cloned Craig: You're here, we're here. I have to rely on faith there's a reason. Original Tracy: But aren't you even curious? I mean, it's not like this happens every day. Cloned Craig: I should hope not. Otherwise, things would get pretty dicey down at the DMV.Cloned: The Recreator Chronicles begins on an island with Frank Miller (John de Lancie, Star Trek: The Next Generation) and his wife Elizabeth (Laura Moss) fixing to call it a night in their beautiful woodland cabin. The raging, midnight thunderstorm in the Adirondack Mountains produces a lightning bolt which strikes the home's septic tank outside. This reignites an old experiment by a scientist who used to live there. We reach the opening titles and are introduced to Tracy (Stella Maeve, The Runaways, Accused at 17), Craig (Alexander Nifong, Pretty Little Liars, Glee), and Derek (J. Mallory McCree, We Need to Talk about Kevin) on their way to the island for a hiking and camping trip the next day. Tracy has to use the bathroom after the long canoe ride to the island and has issues with letting loose outside. Naturally, she finds Mr. and Mrs. Miller's house. What happened the previous night (clones of Mr. and Mrs. Miller killing their originals) is intercut with Tracy making her way inside the empty house.Eventually, Tracy, Craig, and Derek all go to the house to use the bathroom, shower, and hang out, since the Millers seem to be gone. The Millers' clones return, the three teenagers flee, and a chase ensues in the woods. It's there where we learn of the teenagers' clones, which save them during all the madness.Shot in the beautiful Adirondack Mountains, Cloned: The Recreator Chronicles is an independent film with spectacular production quality (you'd think they had Hollywood's vast resources). According to director Gregory Orr, the idea began with the concept of three kids going into the woods and six of them coming out. Where does one take it from there? Any number of directions; and a director of less experience and talent may have failed where Orr succeeded.Where do Orr and his cast and crew succeed? In taking a well-written script and translating it to an interesting movie. It's as simple as that. Yes, the concept of cloning isn't exactly an original one, but it's used effectively here to drive home the movie's underlying theme of "replacement." Like most good sci-fi, it uses a scientific concept (one of which may be completely viable in the future) to assist in telling a story relevant to today's society. While we're not yet being replaced by clones of ourselves (or genetically altered, superior humans in general), you don't have to look far and wide to see people losing their jobs because of faster computers and automated systems. Cloned looks at this from more of a bio-tech perspective than a completely technological one, but its message isn't lost.Stella Maeve, Alexander Nifong, and J. Mallory McCree make for a great ensemble. They also demonstrate good range. It is a pleasure to see John de Lancie again, as well, since I imagine a portion of this movie's fan base will remember him from his iconic role on the various incarnations of Star Trek.Overall, I'd highly recommend the movie, not just for its concept and message, but more importantly because of its entertainment value.

I really didn't expect the film to be that good based off the score, but thought I would give it a go. It turns out to be a fairly slow paced light thriller. There is little action so its not for the Horror fans out there. More intellectual sorta movieI actually enjoyed the story line and thought the pacing was very good. There are a few pot holes (I still don't get how the situation arose), but the acting was OK, and I actually cared about 1 of the characters (female lead), which is better than most movies are able to get me to.Worth a shot if you have nothing else to do. Good time filler if you have nothing else to do. I have certainly seen higher ranked movies that weren't as enjoyable as this.

I actually caught myself staring at this movie with my jaw dropping in a complete daze. I wasn't looking for a master piece, but this isn't even TV movie material.There was so much reaching and grasping to sell what happens that I hit a wall right there, and then the acting finally had to take a beating, I tried to let it slide but the story was so bad I couldn't help but focus on the terrible characters and lack of well, anything at all.Don't waste your time with this movie, if one person doesn't watch it because of my review/slating then I did my job and it was worth posting.

Kean Riley & Kasey Riley are from the region in which this thriller was shot -- and are iconic in local lore - word is that one has a birth certificate filed in Franklin County - Malone NY - dated Feb 28th,1962, and his "twin" has a certificate dated Feb 29th,1962 (There was no 29th in 1962.) They did an awesome job in this flick, and obvious is the influence of Stella Adler, Stanislavsky, and Howard Riley (always available as an "Acting (blank)" when some local politico or other messes up, quits, or is sent "Down the River.") They should be available to accept a single statuette next year for "Best Supporting Actor" - but only if that gig doesn't coincide with the 2012 Winter Carnival in Saranac Lake, NY.
