Replicas

Right now you can watch Replicas in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and Fawesome — and it goes further with its ideas than most genre entertainment bothers to. It says what it needs to say in one sitting, no filler. With 1,491 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Keanu Reeves sets the tone, and the world-building does the rest. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Amazon Prime Video.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Replicas earns its spot. What makes Replicas work is that the ideas never crowd out the people having them. A scientist becomes obsessed with returning his family to normalcy after a terrible accident. Keanu Reeves and Alice Eve lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2018. The rules of Replicas's world are consistent enough that the big swings never feel like cheating. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Sci-fi fans who want ideas alongside the spectacle will find Replicas genuinely rewarding. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. The complete film is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Keanu Reeves's performance is the anchor the more ambitious moments need. The world-building pays off in ways you will not anticipate on a first watch.
