Double Your Pleasure: Low-Budget Sci-Fi That Gets Nuttier And More Fun As It Progresses
I didn't have particularly high expectations for the low-budget science fiction endeavor "Cloned: The Reactor Chronicles." When I glanced at the IMDB rating, it had an overall vote score of 4.0 out of 10. Not a very good sign, to be sure, but it does seem unduly harsh. While this is certainly not a perfect movie, it is filled with fresh ideas and amusing moments. And if you go into the experience with modest expectations, you just might find yourself pleasantly surprised.
