John S Don't put too much stock in the reviews for this one. The reason why they're all over the place is because this is one of those movies where a large portion of the audience is only watching to see a particular actor, and whether or not they liked the movie or threw a tantrum over it depends on who they're watching the movie for. Basically - if you're cheering for character 'A' you will like it, but if you're cheering for character 'B' or 'C' you will dislike it. The bone of contention here is the ending because not everyone survives (obviously). The character I was rooting for (played by the actor I was watching it for) prevailed, so I liked it. Other people are flipping tables because the horse they bet on (and showed up for) got smoked. lol On a side note, I loved Kate Mara's character in this. She had a lot of personal agency, intellect, etc., but without being a marry-sue or a girl-boss. She also had strikingly sharp looking business formal attire the entire time, which I couldn't help but notice. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/29/24 Full Review Jake D There are many ideas that should work here: the question of AI vs humanity, the difficulty of maintaining distance when your subject is a child, the deadliness of a child assassin. It has a stellar cast, including a scene-stealing Paul Giamatti and a severely under-utilized Michelle Yeoh and Brian Cox. Unfortunately, this is a soulless and confused movie that cares more about its visuals and pseudo-intellectualism than crafting a compelling narrative. At the end, the only question we are left with is whether watching Kate Mara drown a child is truly the victory it wants to be? Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/24/24 Full Review nathan a Morgan (Anya Taylor-Joy) is a bioengineered child who began walking and talking after one month of existence, exceeding the wildest expectations of her creators. When Morgan attacks one of her handlers, a corporate troubleshooter (Kate Mara) visits the remote, top-secret facility where she's kept to assess the risks of keeping her alive. When the girl breaks free and starts running amok, the staff members find themselves in a dangerous lockdown with an unpredictable and violent synthetic human. Like everyone else said, good premise, but fumbled at the beginning. So what we like to see in any story is character arc. Someone's starting out thinking one way and by the end of the movie they have grown or changed in some way. But this movie starts out with a brutal stabbing in the face by a synthetic human to some one that it's supposed to love. No real room for growth or change there. Strike one. Strike two, the entire scientific crew living in isolation with this creature is completely and unapologetically in love with it. Regardless of its horrible murderous temper. What could have saved it is watching Morgan change overtime little by little. And watching the scientists gradually understand that this was a failed experiment. Strike three, Morgan goes through a face stabbing to another murderer, then another and another. No gradually falling off the cliff. Anya Joy is great as usual. So is everyone else for that matter. Like many other movies, so many missed opportunities Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/24/23 Full Review michael p I figured it out right away. There is just nothing there that is interesting. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/23 Full Review The F I don't think so. The sequence of the plot and premise becomes self-conflicted. The whole point is that Morgan has emotional awareness and Weathers does not. They both savagely murder, and while Morgan may be aware of her emotions, she is actually more vicious than Weathers in the way which she kills, she is cruel and not quick and merciful. She has the look of evil when she kills and does not exhibit how normal pity feel devastated when it is necessary to take someone else's life. You would think that someone who has the highest evolution of emotive awareness would seek another alternative than to plan to kill everyone she knows, or to force a "friend" at gunpoint to fulfill her promise of a lake visit. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/15/23 Full Review Regina P I enjoyed this film. I wasn't expecting to see a score that low, dang. There were so many recognizable actors here, and I had no idea this film had even existed. I knew where this was going a few minutes before it was revealed who the representative from the company was. It wasn't mind-blowing, but I don't have too many complaints for what it is.
