Hard to Fathom
27 January 2018
This is one of those movies that defy pure sense. When a trio of kids become close, they maintain their connection through adulthood. There is an attractive young woman and two men who love her. Unfortunately, only one can have her. But the two men have followed separate paths, become brilliant scientists, inventing a machine that can duplicate any form of matter. After selling out to the government (who will probably create atom bombs) it is announced that Lena, the young woman has chosen to marry one of the men. The other carries a torch for her and decides to do the logical thing. He talks Lena into going through the machine and creating her clone (called Helen). The kicker is the fact that the machine creates exact duplicates. We know there is doom written all over this thing. What you don't want to do is think too much. Anyway, the premise makes it quite watchable. The acting is very good and the setup is creative. I did enjoy the lab. Lots of unexplainable machines and flasks full of boiling water. There is no attempt at an explanation.
