I was in the for first half of the trailer, then I checked out for the second half where it got stupid with all the other lame actors.

Edge of Tomorrow was a better sci-fi version of this movie, and Groundhog Day told the story in a more normal way.
Define "version"

I don't see how these two can compare

Bong is fucking amazing so I'll be seeing this one on release. Fuuuuck yessss

Don't ever bother. It's written for such a low IQ that you'll actually hate yourself for volunteering to be an audience member. It's so predictable that it's insulting... then, to pour salt on the wound, the last 10-15 minutes are spent spelling out all the clues you missed because you're IQ obviously hovers around the 50 range. I hate myself for sticking it out.

If the pivotal point is just _which_ memories get carried over, then it seems like Altered Carbon (or maybe the cloning episode of Farscape) would be the reference point.

I could see some dark humor in a scenario where as soon as two copies are alive once, from that point on when _one_ dies, every one of them gets a duplicate, leading to exponential population growth.

But it still doesn't make a ton of sense that they wouldn't just use autonomous, or at least telepresence, robots instead.
