      ranny l Prototype, a frightening and profound portrait of a digital world, will spellbind viewers of all ages. Its chilling plot and well-written script combine with rather realistic special effects to make for an immersive viewing experience. In the near future, androids with artificial intelligence are being created to help people with menial household tasks. The first prototype, One, created by Roger Marshall (Jamie Robertson) and tested by his family, proves to be popular. Roger has been working on a new model, Two, with improved features, but when things take a turn for the worse, human emotion is weighed against scientific progress and robotic efficiency. The plot is the most compelling part of Prototype, and the film is very well written. The casting too works wonders. Jamie Robertson is phenomenal in his role as Roger Marshall, the mercurial inventor intent on revolutionizing the technology space. He delivers his dialogue with conviction and passion; I truly felt threatened by his character at times. Actor Ben Reid's character (Roger's son) is intended to emulate his father and Reid works hard to model himself after Robertson's character. Danielle Scott, who plays the wife Shelley Marshall, perfectly plays the role of a well-meaning housewife who is willing to do anything to protect her family. A trite character though it may be, Scott's take on Shelley is fresh and unique. The cinematography complements the dark and suspenseful theme, as several scenes play with light. Prototype is just as much about entertainment as it is a lesson to value the technology around us, and yet to not let it take over our lives. The film contains scenes suggesting domestic abuse and a murder scene. I give Prototype 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 13 to 18, plus adults. Prototype will be available Digitally on April 5, 2022. By Eshaan M., KIDS FIRST! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Soon, life-like androids with artificial intelligence — Anton LaVey would have been happy about this — have been created to do the household work that humans have no interest in doing themselves. One of those androids, One (Luke Robinson), has been part of creator Roger Marshall's (Jamie Robertson, Medusa) family but now the inventor plans on making a new model, things go wrong. Directed by Jack Peter Mundy (Amityville Scarecrow, Dinosaur Hotel) and written by Sam Gurney, Prototype introduces a new android named Two (Zoe Purdy) who has near superhuman capabilities but when it begins to malfunction, the lives of Roger's entire family are in danger. I really liked that One and Two have a definite alien future look despite the low budget of this film. While the promotional materials take so much from Ex-Machina, I prefer the just not yet a human appearance of the movie. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Alexander Harrison Screen Rant There is little room for audiences to enjoy their time watching Prototype, even when entering with the most reasonable of expectations. Rated: 1/5 Apr 8, 2022 Full Review Alex Saveliev Film Threat Earnest but misguided, a functional prototype of a better film. Rated: 5/10 Mar 30, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
