The best sci-fi movies about cloning – Looper

Oblivion draws heavily from science-fiction films of yesteryear, particularly sci-fi movies of the 1970s. The year is 2077, and humanity has relocated to Titan, Saturn's largest moon, after Earth was overrun by aliens. Tom Cruise's character, Jack, is sent back to Earth to help service drones in their fight against the extraterrestrials. It's during his time back on his home planet that he discovers he has been cloned. Nothing about Jack's reality is quite what it seems, and watching him unearth the truth is a gripping ride from start to finish.

Oblivionis definitely more of a popcorn flick than other movies you'll find on this list. It doesn't dive as deeply into the ethical ramifications of cloning, nor is it distinguished by granular scientific detail. But then, it's not interested in those things Oblivionwants to be a blockbuster sci-fi of the highest order, and completely succeeds.Cloning is only one of many sci-fi concepts the movie plays with: Rebelling robots, a post-apocalyptic setting, and subterranean cities are all here too. It pretty much wins sci-fi bingo, and that's why we love it.
