The Island (2005)
7/10
Good film than explores more than the obvious issues of cloning

Overall a very watchable film. I liked the deeper levels of identity that this film also touched upon. At what point does a 'manufactured' copy become so close to the original that the two are undifferentiatable...? At what point does someone cease to be what they were and become what they are as a whole human being? These issues include much that is of wider importance - take transsexualism and how society deals with this, are all part of this debate as well.

Fundamental to all of this is human dignity and the respect we need to afford all life irrespective of our own definition or sense of 'Humanity'. I hope the film gives you food for thought!
