Day of the Clones

This film really captured something essential and special that's lacking in so many bigger budget films. At first I was thrown off a bit by the indie quality of the special effects make-up/props that appear early in the film. But soon I got into the story of the plight of the main characters, the survivors they come across, the threats they face and the underlying intrigue and I pretty much forgot about any low budget constraints that troubled me early on. I really enjoyed the acting, the concepts and the overall feeling of claustrophobia and threat the filmmakers created.

One really cool thing happened as I continued to watch. I got to experiencing that great nostalgic feeling of watching independent sci-fi, post-apocalyptic films in my youth at the drive-in or on late night TV in the basement where my mind could freely wander and enjoy the escape that only an independent vision made by passionate people can offer.

Honestly, it's a real shame when I see the hateful reviews of a film like this, that has so much heart, thought and sweat of real people put into it, so much authenticity that the vacuous, mass marketed products on offer can't even come close to. Bravo for your achievement!
