Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

The first must-see film of the year.

This is a sci-fi horror movie about an "artificial" human (Morgan, as she was named) who physically matures much quicker than normal humans thanks to synthetic DNA developed by a genetic company. In the movie, Morgan is referred to as a humanoid but the term is actually used for mechanical robots that look like human. In this case, Morgan is a flesh and bone character with some synthetic genes infused to her DNA and we're expected to consider her a "thing." This is outright silly in today's norms where we discuss the human rights of an embryo. We also understand that the first thing all "humanoids" excel is martial arts. Despite its pretentious philosophical dressing, the movie is all about Morgan biting off ears and noses, mauling all those crossing her path with the usual blood and gore fest. In summary, this is a typical sci-fi horror flick with a mediocre acting and directing, worsened by weak, unconvincing and predictable plot.

I like sci-fi for its ability to get us to thinking as we are being entertained. This movie does that pretty well. The premise of a new life form is always a good story to tell and if you add mystery, intrigue and drama you get this movie. My only criticism is that it was too short and under-developed but nothing a sequel couldn't cure if handled properly. There are twists along the way which keep you glued to the screen and one wonders about the full premises of this story if it was truly unleashed. the movie goes there too! Here's to....

Surprised by low score. Did it entertain? Yes. Was it worth watching? Yes. Could there've been better emotional interactions / dialogue? Yes.

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!
