10 More Recent Sci-Fi Movies You Probably Haven't Seen

Keeping in the cloning realm for this next largely overlooked recent sci-fi gem, Karen Gillan this time takes centre stage as a dying woman who opts to clone herself in order to ensure her family don't have to go through the pain of her being taken from them.
In this world, though, clones have the right to reject being "decommissioned" after their creation. Meaning that when Gillan's Sarah is hilariously told that her certain death now isn't actually on the cards, Sarah's Double's refusal to be terminated means they are soon told to prepare for an imminent duel to the death, naturally.
The Nebula MCU star absolutely knocks it out of the park as a figure who tragically and ludicrously finds herself in a scenario where her loved ones actually prefer her replica, with a cold walk-through of some practise combat with Aaron Paul's also exceptional trainer Trent being one of many unanticipated highlights to be found here.
Equal parts savage and side-splitting, this intelligent Riley Stearns outing puts the universal fear of death under the microscope and delivers a cloning story unlike anything you've probably seen before.
