So, Day of the Clones. Is it going to be remembered for its cinematography, lighting, acting, directing, plot or otherwise? No, quite frankly. The cameraman needed a few lessons in how to hold a camera steady, but if I were told this was shot entirely on a Samsung phone, I wouldn't be at all surprised. However, in this particular film, it adds character.
So what does it have going for it? Is it a Saturday night film snuggled on the couch with the partner eating popcorn? Probably not. Unless you're interested in artistry because that is what it has going for it.
This is quite an important film to me. Shot entirely during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown, this is a film I am sure will crop up in film-making class. It is atmospheric, broody dark and represents Britain in the pandemic era. I suspect as the years roll by it will be a cult classic.
Not the best for a film buff, who loves a good plot and engulfing acting. I suspect the writer was a Doctor Who fan in the 70s, particularly Jon Pertwee's tenure. It does have a very 1970s feel in how it is made.
In terms of artistic value, it is priceless. Watch and be educated on how the streets were during the pandemic in Britain. Well made for such a low-budget effort. It also sets a frightening aspect on the future of mankind. Some may say, in that respect, not too far off the mark.
