Critics Consensus

Morgan neglects to develop its decent premise, opting instead to settle for a garden-variety sci-fi thriller with more action than ideas.

Kate Erbland IndieWire "What is Morgan?" the film's marketing campaign has been asking for weeks. Turns out, Morgan is just another sci-fi film that's only engineered to disappoint. Rated: D Jan 2, 2017 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) An initially intriguing but ultimately flimsy sci-fi action thriller. Oct 10, 2016 Full Review Stephanie Zacharek TIME Magazine Morgan is an unassuming little thriller, nicely put together and engaging enough while you're watching, though its memory is likely to vaporize hours, or even minutes, after you've seen it. Sep 7, 2016 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Has a lot in common with dozens of science-fiction stories but doesn't have any innovative ideas of its own. Rated: 2/4 Apr 11, 2022 Full Review Kip Mooney College Movie Review A nasty little thriller that doesn't have anything of substance to say. Rated: B Aug 28, 2021 Full Review Ian Brill Battleship Pretension Unfortunately, the high point of Taylor-Joy's performance also signals the film's downfall...

Ana G well this is a hard no for me Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/23/25 Full Review Wink D Despite containing a lot of bigger actors, the entire movie was predictable from beginning to end... I mean the opening scene all the way to the credits was predictable. The script wasn't great, at all. I cannot recommend anyone watch this movie and I can't believe the editor and director didn't see how shitty this was when they read the script. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review Greg W I enjoyed this film. I'm guessing that people who panned it are not fans of Director Ridley Scott who clearly influenced his son whom directed this film. I appreciate Luke Scott's not so subtle plot twists that border on the absurb. They make this film engaging, refreshing and downright fun. This film combines the best of suspenseful thriller, sci-fi and horror. Very well cast with solid acting performances Kate Mara and Toby Jones and, especially Anya Taylor-Joy. Ignore the herd's opinion and give this film a viewing. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/22/25 Full Review Jaquetta J It was a good action packed sci-fi. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/15/25 Full Review Yasha T I actually really liked this! It wasn't perfect, but it was a nice little thriller. I found it pretty refreshing overall and I wish we could have gotten something expanding on the world a little more? The twist itself was really entertaining; the whole time, I was sort of just thinking; "no way they're going to actually reveal this, right? It'd be way too obvious!" and honestly I'm glad they actually went through with it, especially when the expectation nowadays involves pretty consistent subversion. Rewatching it I could see all of the little hints of Lee's actual nature. I will say, it's *definitely* a product of its time, but it's pretty fun once you are able to move past it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/05/25 Full Review Michael L Pretty awful movie. Another mega corporation (just called corporate throughout), creates a human/weapon in a lab. Seemingly, no one in the movie understands what they are spending seven years of their lives in total isolation for, except the risk manager and mother. Corporate has the money to create this weapon, but doesn't seem to give a crap about putting any security protocols in place. Nothing to protect people in the lab, no security, a tall chain link fence protecting the people and facility. Very weak sauce. There's more rigor conducted by the US Army when purchasing a new handgun, than for corporate creating a human/machine bio-weapon. Any psych evals on your staff throughout the years. That probably would have alerted corporate and everyone else they are getting too attached to a weapons program. Basically, everyone fell in love with a manipulative ticking time bomb. I can suspend some disbelief, but this movie was barely watchable. I wish people would stop writing such terrible sci-fi movies. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/21/25 Full Review Read all reviews
