THE CLONES begins with a dire warning about human cloning, and opening credits featuring oscilloscopes and refrigerator-sized computers.
Then, we are introduced to Dr. Appleby (Michael Green), who discovers that he has a problem. It seems there are now two of him!
Enter Nemo (Gregory Sierra), the impossibly zealous government agent sent in to neutralize the situation. Intense and goggle-eyed, he looks as though he might fly apart any second! He obviously wants Appleby dead.
Meanwhile, Appleby's doppelganger is busy enjoying the real Appleby's life, including his wife! Can Appleby solve this before the maniacal Nemo kills him?
This movie features lots of groove-tastic music, especially when Appleby runs in slow motion, which he does quite frequently. He also winds up in a hippie van full of brain-blasted hippies. There are flashbacks, tai chi, and some poor guy interrupted on a public toilet. Is he part of the conspiracy? Ultimately, the reason for the cloning has something to do with world domination through meteorology (!).
In spite of all the action taking place, this movie still manages to be tedious. 20-30 minutes could have been trimmed, making it more bearable. The shoot-em-up carnival finale attempts to make things exciting, even having Nemo tossing grenades from a roller coaster (!!). It almost works. Almost...
