Synopsis

When Dr. Johnny Dalton awakens, after being beaten by a group of eco-terrorists who were vandalizing his lab at biotech firm Azina, his business partner Frank Donahue tells him him that 15 years have passed and Johnny is merely a clone of himself. He's been created to track down the real Dr. Dalton who has disappeared, taking with him Azine's most devastating discovery as well as the key to disarming Johnny's genetic time-bomb. Johnny is captured, however he finds an ally among the rebels in Nikki Holland, leading him to the real Dr. Dalton, who reveals secrets about Azine, Donahue and the mysterious Mr. Bosch that are far more shocking than anything they ever expected. This futuristic thriller takes the concept of genetic engineering to a whole new level, and into a frightening world that may be just over the horizon.

BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
NateWatchesCoolMovies It's always fun to come across genuinely intelligent science fiction films, especially when you go into them expecting a half assed, clunky yawn, which happens frequently. Johnny 2.0 is an overlooked little cyber-punk gem in an unassuming release package, a thinking man's sci-fi story that could have easily gone the other way, but contains enough inspired creativity to rise above the muck. Jeff Fahey plays Johnny Dalton, a genetic researcher whose facility is attacked by activists. Waking up from the disaster he is stunned to find that he's not Johnny at all anymore, but a clone who has been in cryo for 25 years, awakened now for one purpose: set out across a post apocalyptic wasteland to retrieve the original Dalton and smoke out a web of conspiracies that have hatched over the years. There's all sorts of really intriguing ideas at play here including MRI memory mapping, organic tracking suits, genetic reconfiguration and personalized holograms, a wealth of scientific world building that earns this film its stripes in the artistic departments. Fahey is excellent, as is a noble Michael Ironside, Tahnee Welch and John Neville. Super solid storytelling, ideas worth exploring, an impressive level of design and atmosphere achieved despite the limited funds, there's not too much you can say about this one that is not the highest of praises.
Kestrel-6 While this movie doesn't have the slew of special effects that most sci-fi films do in this day and age, it does present a question that bears some thought. Are we the sum of our memories? And if so, at what point are we a different person? At least, that was my take on the film.The first few minutes drew me in as that appeared to be the question. As the film unraveled however, plots within plots became apparent and more seemed to surface. I don't want to say too much for fear of spoilers.Not everyone's cup of tea, but if you're channel surfing late at night and it's on, it's a decent movie to watch.
Alex-372 Considering the very low budget, or even the so-so acting at the start (which improves as the storyline becomes more clear), all the movie's power comes from the storyline and it's concept.What _would_ happen if all of us could be brought back as clones of ourselves - and in the next 40 years, we may just happen to find out.And that's what science fiction does at it's best - examine the real-life future consequences of technology that is only just possible today. That doesn't mean they get it right, but it's nice to see ideas fleshed out.Don't expect any flashy or up-to-date special effects, and you won't be disappointed.
cammie Though I was momentarily unsure if this film would live up to its potential, this movie was quite entertaining. My only difficulty with the film is its make-up department. I simply have a problem when grey hair is the only hint of a person aging 15 years
