    It really does boggle my mind to see a film this messy, this incoherent, this lacking in substance and plot, so rampantly silly and so clueless in story direction this early in 2019. But this is what “Replicas” gives us and it’s the first big steaming heap of feces this year has given us. It’s mundane, it’s carelessly stupid, the film is only funny when it’s unintentional, the acting is completely flat, the dialogue is just UGH, there’s no coherent direction due to the film not sticking to one story, so many gaping plot points and questions are shown and asked, none of which actually get answered or resolved, every attempt at forced emotion fails and if anything, Keanu Reeves is basically acting like a parody of himself in a half-assed performance, like how he was in the 80’s and 90’s.

    Speaking of 80’s and 90’s, I think that’s the best way to describe this movie: it’s a bad 80’s sci-fi flick, 90’s sci-fi flick released in the dumping grounds of January. And boy does it feel like it. Nothing in this film makes any sense.


    And you wanna know what also doesn’t make sense? The fact that this film has the audacity, the nerve to try and leave a cliffhanger for a potential sequel that’s never gonna see the light of day, it’s just—if this thing does get a sequel......I—

    I have no words. I’m done.
