Critics Consensus

Equal parts plot holes and unintentional laughs, Replicas is a ponderously lame sci-fi outing that isn't even bad enough to be so bad it's good.

Along with the messy script is some absolutely horrendous CGI.

Does the Keanu Reeves vehicle Replicas do anything new or different in the sci-fi genre, or offer up any impressive action sequences, or any unique CGI? No, no, and no.

2/5

Even though I did find it strangely entertaining, it’s just too scattered and a little too goofy to get behind it.

It feels a film student binged Brian De Palma and John Woo's work only to vomit out their most basic trademarks.

[Keanu Reeves] plays at Sophie's Choice... [And] as if he were in Minority Report, Keanu moves his hands and performs air mapping. [Full review in Spanish]

Some of Keaunu's worst acting. Still, the movie is better than watching paint dry on a wall. Cool ending. Dont want to watch it again. Not a masterpiece by today's standards but pretty good entertainment by standards of the past.

Not all can be winners for Keanu and this is one of them. It is so bad that is almost good. It has unintentional plot twists and some good laughs. We owe it to Keanu to watch for all the hours of amazing entertainment through the years. Maybe he did it as a favor to a friend.

As a father of a little girl, the topic is horrifying, and so the movie is very difficult to watch. Drive slowly people. It's not worth dying just to be 10 minutes ealier

This movie was absolutely amazing Loved the things they showed up with neural maping, cloning and consciousness transfer and with a happy ending too doesn't deserve that much hate
