This is definitely a very relevant and timely science fiction horror movie about genetic engineering, and I am planning to see it. But on this occasion let me emphasize two very good science fiction movies about the exploitation of clones as slaves. The Island (2005): Actually it is underrated, and very well made. www.rottentomatoes.com/m/island/Moon (2009): This one is astounding, very sincere and unforgettable, even though this was a relatively low budget film. It's actually made in London. www.rottentomatoes.com/m/10009075-moon/

I've read about it and I'm very interested in seeing this, but it seems like that one won't be shown in my town's cinema. Nevermind, I'll just wait for the DVD... By the way not only the trailer and plot is quite interesting, but also the director is brilliant. He's done "Cube", which is nearly a perfect claustrophobical horror scenario. I loved that film, especially because it's doing so much effect out of so less effort. But "Cube Zero" (prequel) is even better, while "Cube 2: Hypercube" (sequel) was way too over the top for my taste. But Mr. Natali did only the first one. ;DOh, and "The Island" is really underrated. I talkeld to many people who told me that they haven't seen it, because it was directed by Micheal Bay and that Bay movies where brainless in general. Well, about his other films you can argue, but "The Island" is intelligent. And I love the soundtrack and score of it very much.I think this is the perfect movie to the whole cloning topic, because it includes all the benefits and all the problems according to it. (Spoiler ahead!) And actually, which would be the final goal of cloning, the best benefit to today's society? Yes, using clones as spare parts depot for rich and sick people.

You should watch "Cube Zero", it's even better then the first and it brings much more light into the whole scenario. (explains much without telling everything... ) "Cube 2" is something you can leave out without minding. Has some interesting ideas, but is not good at all...
