Moon Clones go "Luny"

Rating: 7/10 (3 August 2009)

The film had difficulty making its mind up what it wanted to be: Sci-fi, clone story, or "evil corporation" movie, or maybe an unintentional mixture of the two. Could have been improved easily: Court room drama, with flashbacks to operations on the moon. The makers obviously tried to tie up loose-ends at the very ending. As our clone re-enters earth's atmosphere, a brief voice-over indicating a supposed, courtroom battle is suggested. Would have been wise to leave that off. Otherwise, the film implied the immorality of cloning. Only trouble with this is the lunar backdrop. We are more interested in the futuristic aspect than with moral questionings. "Outland", a more entertaining sci-fi film, was also more effective at using moral injustice as an antagonistic platform.
