The movie had an interesting way of showing clones. They explain that not all Clones are the same. They develop differently and are essentially different people. They only consistency among the clones are that they look the same and are implants with the same memories. The movie shows homage to previous movies such as blade runner and 2001 Space Odyssey. For example Gerty the robot in Moon is like the one in the Space Odyssey, except much nicer and not evil.
