This was a philosophy packaged in an action, sci-fi movie. Is it ok to clone humans? Is it ok for the original and the clone to coexist? What happens when the clones die? I was surprised that this movie got me thinking the deep questions while enjoying Arnold kicking ass.
This movie also predicted a lot of things:
- Refrigerator telling us we’re out of milk.
- We touch one button to reorder milk.
- Self driving cars
- Remote control helicopter (think drones)
- Zoom call
- Virtual lawyer and psychologist
- Effing annoying phone trees
If I watched the movie in 2000, I probably didn’t feel as much. Now I have had 25 years(!) to experience these things, they are actually very scary.
I’m pretty sure someone somewhere is cloning humans.
