What a beautiful movie!

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

This movie had so much potential but they turned it into a psycho-fest with idiotic plot points.Idiot 1: After watching the AI stab a fellow worker in the eye, they all just wanted love on the AIIdiot 2: The psychiatrist goes into the cage with the AI and decides to piss it off until it eats his throat.Idiot 3: The writer who had the AI eat someone's throatIdiot 4: So now everyone is dying and a guy finally decides maybe his rifle is in order but instead of shooting the AI from where he's standing, he runs right at the AI telling it to stop instead of, you know, shooting it and preventing it from killing his, albeit it shallow, love interest. Of course the AI grabs the gun from the idiot's hands and kills him with it. I mean why else would you run at the AI shouting stop if not to complete your plot point by dying.The sad thing is this movie was a great idea and set up well but literally, they couldn't help themselves. I'm guessing this was written by liberal children with the emotional growth of the average 8 year old.

I don't write reviews, but the acting talent wasted by the crap script and inept directing has compelled me to write.The biggest problem was that it's never made apparent to the viewers why the staff protects Morgan even though they had just viewed the mayhem she's caused. The moronic and nonsensical actions of the highly educated staff makes me think the writer believes all of us are this stupid except that the last presidential election has shown otherwise; only half of us are willing to protect someone in the face of certain death and destruction.The moment Lee shoots Amy dead was the highlight of the third act for me. While everyone apparently followed the "How to do nothing while a coworker gets mauled to death" company handbook, Amy was the worst offender of them all. She had about 4-5 chances to stop Morgan or at least warn others of their impending doom. Then there's Skip, the useless cook, who had a rifle pointed at Morgan and thought the only reason she was acting this way was because no one had asked her not to.I watched to the end purely out of hope the fine cast would turn this around. Alas, I was disappointed yet again.

I saw the last 30 minutes of this movie on cable. I've read some of the reviews. So, I didn't see the beginning or the first 1 hour setup. But I saw the mess. Here's the problem folks: Garbage story, garbage cinematography and quick editing, garbage acting (bunch of nonsense stares), I cannot remember the music so it must have sucked too.Kate Mara, sorry to say it, she just sucks as an actress. I have not seen anything good from her. The fight scenes with her were ridiculous. OK, she turns out to be an engineered human or something. But when she fell off the balcony and kept moving, and the big reveal didn't happen yet, that's when we need to call this what it is, garbage story telling. PLEASE FIND SOME WRITERS WITH SOME INTELLIGENCE! She crashes the car, no problem, gets in another car and continues the chase. She fights Morgan, has her body slammed to the rocks, No problem. She gets impaled, and ends up drowning Morgan. By the way that was just a very stupid scene, boring and down right sleep inducing. Like what the hell is that? Then she kills the girl on the pier and the guy on the road. OK, now the BIG REVEAL. She's an artificial human soldier something. Then we get the scene with the corporate types discussing Kate Mara, that she's the perfect actress and that they will be able to follow this up with a few more movies, because Kate is great, and we can see that Kate is great, because they show Kate being great, not great acting, but just posing. Kate is not an actress. At best she is a fashion model.Anya Taylor-Joy as Morgan was great if you think, blank stares are great. I've read reviews where people are raving about her being the next big actress. Maybe they are the same people who propped Jennifer Lawrence, I don't know. Well, from this performance I don't know how Anya can be anything more than a fashion model.Rose Leslie as Dr. Amy Menser at least showed some fear in her performance. Jennifer Jason Leigh as Dr. Kathy Grieff was completely underused. I only saw the scenes with her eyepatch and her getting killed. Completely underused. Michelle Yeoh as Dr. Lui Cheng looked like a sad joke of acting and character. Paul Giamatti as Dr. Alan Shapiro, I didn't see his scenes, but from reading other reviews he was a psychiatrist who provoked Morgan. This tells me, it's unreal, not professional. And that the Producer/Director = Father/Son = Scott/Scott need to PLEASE FIND SOME WRITERS WITH SOME INTELLIGENCE! I can't comment on the other actors here, they might as well got some people off the street, at least they would have come up with better dialogue than what the writer Seth Owen came up with.So, what we have here is another pile of garbage. While watching it, it can be entertaining. But if you stop to think, the story is garbage. Better to watch the original, Frankenstein 1932. Do not see Bride of Frankenstein. Just the original, Frankenstein.This movie is another representation of our current society. It represents that if you build it they will come. Well, we've come and we've seen what you can produce. Nothing. Back in 1932 if you wanted to make a film, you better be sure to have a story or the studios will not even let you submit another story or even sweep the floors. What we have with Morgan is Mr. Ridley Scott, who hit a payload with the garbage film Alien, yes I said it. Alien is garbage. I am not fooled by nostalgia, or props, and I am not a part of cult. I don't believe in witches or extraterrestrials. Alien is an amateur film with crappy dialogue, characters, plot, scenes, cinematography. The acting is garbage all around. The best part of Alien is the props, and that's not even great. Frankenstein beats Alien on all fronts. Take a look at the prop in Frankenstein, in the form of Boris Karloff and tell me the prop alien in Alien is better. I don't think so. Scott got luck with Alien. Although Blade Runner is a much better movie, he got luck with that as well. At least Blade Runner had a story, and much superior actors. Please read my review of Alien for full evaluation of the garbage that it is.Until film makers start with GREAT and ORIGINAL Stories they will continue to produce films like this. What did we get with the over-hyped Force Awakens? Garbage, copy paste, superwoman! Force is in the name, but it's in the movie for a few seconds. Rogue One we get another superwoman in the middle of a bunch of tough warrior guys and she says, wait for it "THE TIME TO FIGHT IS NOW!" No S***!, why do you think we're all here assembled with all the artillery on our backs? It all starts with the writers.As Tiny Tim famously stated, God Help Us, Everyone!

Morgan (Anya Taylor-Joy) is a creation of artificial DNA using nano technology to accelerate growth. Morgan injures a member of the staff and Lee (not Merry) Weathers goes to the facility to conduct a corporate risk assessment. The film starts out as slow burn science fiction, but keeps you engaged, especially when Paul Giamatti shows up to conduct a psychic evaluation. At this time the film takes off. It is comparable to other films that have more action, which I hesitate to mention for plot considerations.I liked the somewhat expected twist as I began to fear a Steinbeck ending. More science fiction than horror.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
