I watched this movie together with 2 friends and we had a really good time. We all liked the idea of replicants appearing at a party. The actors did a good job and there's a lot of humor during the entire movie. What really stunned me were all those moments where the replicants and the originals are in the same shot. These scenes were exceptionally well made. Just for that it's worth a watch.
One problem with this movie was the confusion about who is what and when. But you can make that out with a little thinking...in most cases. What really bugged me was the conflict-potential which, from my point of view, didn't really exist and therefore seemed kind of forced. Why does anybody automatically feel threatened by the replicants? If I would ever find myself in such a situation I would try to be cool with my replicant...just think of all the opportunities! Well, I do understand that not everybody sees the situation this way but I am also pretty sure that it is rather unlikely that only 2 people do not consider their replicants to be dangerous. Yea, so in conclusion I'd say that most of the time I found the way the characters acted incomprehensible. But maybe the movie is just trying to show us that we are our own enemy...something along the lines of "homini hominis lupus est"
All in all the whole scenario including the ending reminded me a lot of the replicant story from Stanislaw Lem's "The Star Diaries". Come to think of it it was pretty much the same deal. You can't always invent new stuff out of nowhere, so that's okay
Watch it.
