      Released Jun 21, 2019 1h 44m Sci-Fi TRAILER for Wetware: Trailer 1 List
      Reviews WETWARE is set in a near future where there are tough and tedious jobs no one wants to do -- and people down on their luck who volunteer for genetic modifications to make them right for this work -- in slaughterhouses, infectious disease wards, landfill and other hard jobs. With business booming, programmers at Galapagos Wetware up the stakes by producing high-end prototypes, Jack (Bret Lada) and Kay, for more sensitive jobs like space travel, deep cover espionage or boots on the ground for climate or resource conflicts.Galapagos genetic programmer Hal Briggs (Cameron Scoggins) improvises as he goes on what qualities to include or delete in his gene splicing for Jack and, especially, Kay, to whom he develops a dangerous attachment. Then word gets out that Jack and Kay have escaped, before Briggs has completed his work. As Briggs scrambles to track his fugitive prototypes, he makes a provocative discovery that changes everything. Read More Read Less Watch on Fandango at Home Premiered Mar 13 Buy Now

      brad m I could tell there was a great cyberpunk idea buried under all the low budget post production and horrible writing and dialogue. Decent actors couldn't begin to save this. And I could tell, they tried. And as mentioned add to that horrible post production starting with the sound. Everything sounded as if a mic what in a soup can and the people were speaking into the can. And with the mic's dialed up enough so there was a constant background whitenoise. It's ok. My brain started auto filtering that out and I paid attention to the dialogue. Which made me go back to paying attention tot he background noise. I would love to see this remade with decent Direction, Post Production and more. This story has a lot of potential. Sadly after the movie was made, all it still had was... Potential. Fully unrealized at least by this attempt at bringing it to the screen. Wait! Was this a direct to entry for MST3K? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Cool indie scifi noir project with an original vision - surreal, full of ideas. Can be a little clunky in places but worth watching and mulling over what it all means. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Wetware was a dystopic thrill ride, a twisted tale with clear inspiration from Philip Roth and George Orwell. The film masterfully grapples with issues of income inequality, political corruption, and corporate power. A perfect tale for the age. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member For a small independent film this movie delivers! Beautifully shot, the direction is great--music is stunning and the look of the film moody and gorgeous. This science fiction, near future film is an important story especially during the days of Covid 19. Lots to discuss after watchin "Wetware". Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member It was painful to watch, I have no words to describe terrible it was. The concept is great but the acting is bad and Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media This cold, inert, misguided sci-fi story starts with a peculiar idea that never takes hold and then never really moves; it's mostly dull talk about the supposed meaning of it all. Rated: 2/5 Dec 18, 2020 Full Review Wendy Shreve Featuring Film Jay Craven's Wetware proves he has the bona fides to be recognized as a commercially-viable filmmaker with gravitas. Aug 6, 2019 Full Review Margot Harrison Seven Days (VT) Ultimately, the many compelling plot strands in Wetware don't quite cohere. Rated: 3/5 Jun 21, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
