How should I put it? The idea, starting point, or brain of this movie is pretty good, but there are many flaws in logic, and for science fiction films, logic problems are very unbearable. Therefore, it is not possible to score high.
Let me talk about the concept first. This film has two future technological hypotheses. One is that it can create artificial brains and transplant human consciousness (the method is to first extract brain memories from the corners of the eyes and store them in a container, and then transplant the memory in the container into it. In the robot’s artificial brain). The second is to clone humans, to clone a complete human body without memory, and then transplant the original human’s memory into the cloned human’s brain through the same method as in Fantasy 1.
Since then, logic problems have appeared. For example, artificial brains and human biological brains should be different (the reason is that it is much more difficult to make a machine brain with the same function than to make a completely identical biological brain), so the method of transplanting memory should not be universal.
In addition, there are other logical loopholes in the movie. First, even if the memory can be perfectly transplanted, and it can be perfectly integrated with the machine brain or the cloned biological brain, to the extent that relatives, friends and others cannot distinguish, this is another person to the original person. . So at the end of the film, Jones, the director of a technology company, will not be tempted to clone himself to continue his life. Second, when William Foster's family escaped, they entered the hospital and destroyed the tracker, but no one intercepted them when they came out. And this scene feels very fake. In addition, it feels so false that the experiment failed at first, and then William found a solution.
Aside from this, it is necessary to discuss the meaning of human cloning, especially for relatives. If the exact same person can be cloned, it may be for people who lost their loved ones due to accidents like in the movie. It is a very good solution. Of course, the rights of human cloning, such as reproductive rights and ethical relations, need to be added separately. It will be very complicated, and this film does not discuss this very important point.
