Rewatched it yesterday. Still good but not as great as the first time around with all it's twists and turns. Liked how Spacey impersonated the robot which made him feel very human, they could have gone the antagoniste route so I respect that you have at least one positive character which you can relate to.
The CGI didn't age well but it works. Sometimes I questioned myself if they used miniatures, especially the rovers felt like they were filmed models.
Rockwell was pretty good as well. Noticed some minor continuity errors, nothing mayor and they made me smile a bit.
As for the ending, this is one of the films I would have liked some closoure. Thought the plan was pretty dumb. He would just have landed in a storage unit of the company and had to escape. Which I guess is pretty hard since the entire facility is pretty big and has some dirt under it's rug.
Enjoyed my time with it but not a movie that gets better every time you watch it. At least in my opinion.

So finished...

I enjoyed it, a lot. I love psychological stuff like that. Fan of Rockwell, big fan of Spacey.. but Rockwell did a great job with this film.

Is the clone thing real, or is the dude tripping/seeing shit? I guess they want you to think it could be either or scenario.

Regardless, whichever scenario is actually happening I liked it.

Never thought about this illusion stuff, always was pretty clear to me that they are real clones. In the context of the movie it would make sense though since you see him hallucinating about other characters at the beginning of the movie. I guess both approaches are reasonable.

I'm pretty sure that it's real and the hallucinations are part of the decaying process the clones go through. There are a lot of hints that his body is failing even before his first hallucination, like when he bumps his elbow and acts as if it actually hurt a lot... And his constant headaches. Not to mention when he was on the treadmill he was super fucked up, either he ran himself half to death or his body is dying.

Plus some of the "hallucinations" are technical in nature, like on his computer screen, which I think are malfunctions that show previous clones and not actually hallucinations.

I really like this movie, I think it is really well made and while the "twist" surprise isn't there on consecutive watches Sam Rockwell does such a good job that the movie is still great.

I think that to assume everyone in the company is in on it is a bit absurd. I personally think that only the very top levels know what is really going on, so the workers on the ground level that do all the work will find him and wonder what the fuck is happening. Would be really hard to contain imo.
