"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.

| Original Score: D | Jan 2, 2017

An initially intriguing but ultimately flimsy sci-fi action thriller.

| Oct 10, 2016

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.

It's rare to be able to pinpoint the exact moment when a movie goes wrong, but it's possible to do so with Morgan

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 6, 2016

Thanks to Morgan, we know what bedtime stories Ridley Scott told his kids.

| Original Score: C- | Sep 4, 2016

Morgan short-circuits in the third act.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 4, 2016

Even with the majority of the cast working at a relatively high level, the movie is never able to overcome its more obnoxious shortcomings.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 2, 2016

The predictable twist hampers the story's suspense, and the film doesn't dip beyond the superficial.

Even I, a self-prescribed horror movie skeptic, found myself wrapped up in Morgan - I was invested in the characters, I (mostly) bought into the plot and even found myself embracing some of the gore by the end.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 2, 2016

Anya Taylor-Joy ... plays the title character with a mixture of vulnerability and detached humanity that makes her like the world's most frightening teenager.

| Original Score: B- | Sep 2, 2016

Morgan is a provocative and atmospheric reworking of familiar sci-fi tropes. The excellent supporting cast helps anchor the film even in its more improbable moments.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 1, 2016

This is one of the worst movies of 2016.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 1, 2016

Luke Scott is the son of Alien director Ridley Scott and shares with his dad a gift for staging scenarios in which institutional calm erupts into savage and exhilarating violence.

| Sep 1, 2016

It's well designed and shot, but in service of a story that never coalesces into something intelligent or compelling.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 1, 2016

Ambiguity makes "Blade Runner" a classic; a lack of ambiguity means "Morgan" strays into a run-of-the-mill genre territory, despite its deeper ideas.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 1, 2016

The point of things quickly shifts from engaging the audience's interest and/or intellect to merely keeping it stimulated and guessing.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 1, 2016

If anything makes 'Morgan' stand out from the pack, it's the fact that it feels like no one else could have directed the film. (Or at least not the same way.)

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 1, 2016

The film, directed by Luke Scott and laden with high-tech eye candy, should have been a lot more complex and psychologically interesting than it is.

| Sep 1, 2016

A dull, listless, derivative chunk of celluloid lacking any spark or even basic storytelling ability.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 1, 2016

Mr. Scott creates a disappointingly skeletal Frankenstein story that entertains efficiently but vacuously.
