well this is a hard no for me

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.

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.

It was a good action packed sci-fi.

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.

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.

Morgan is a deeply underrated because people, quite naturally, are buying into its deceptive framing and thinking of Morgan as human. Nearly every human character in the movie has fallen into this trap after all. The movie actually does a good job developing a diverse group of characters and tracking their responses to Morgan's actions. Morgan is a hybrid that is operating with a very primitive operating system that's attempting to understand its rudimentary emotional framework. But her rampage has logic to it. Morgan makes for an interesting counterpart to Ex Machina. While I'd say the latter is the superior movie, Morgan is better than what it seems to become: just another count-the-deaths killfest.

One of the dumbest movies I've ever watched. I did not care about any character in this film. I caught myself wanted all the characters to be killed off. If the idea was to get me to feel sorry for Morgan, it was a huge box office failure! I wanted her to die the most! This is a one and done movie, I will never watch it again and would not recommend it to anybody.

I'm not entirely sure why this movie received so many negative reviews because I was actually surprised with how entertaining it was. I like the tone of the movie and the ideas it touches on. The acting was good and the plot was executed well. I would recommend it to any sci-fi fan or thriller fan. It's definitely worth a watch and it's definitely not a 30%.

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.

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?

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

I figured it out right away. There is just nothing there that is interesting.

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.

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.

It was better than the ratings but did not fully develop the story. It ran slowly at times. The ending was worth the movie. If you are keen, you will predict the ending, however.

Spoilers: Frankenstein, mad scientist, I can create life, not just God. But it's not nice to fool Mother Nature, boys and girls! Anya is a unique talent and in lesser hands this might not have worked. This waif of scientific concoction, running around in sweats and a hood like some medieval monk, and it even worked, as nonbinary would fit someone, something made out of something besides flesh and bone. Our first good look at her face, half in light, half in darkness, dual natured, what might she do next, what could go wrong? The superb cast of Jennifer, Rose, Michelle, Paul, Toby, Brian, and of course Kate and Anya. A lot was telegraphed but it was still interesting to watch it play out. You figured at least one more of them was a bioenhanced "person," and it became clearer it would be Kate. But maybe Rose or Skip. Technical chief Michelle waxed philosophic on how these creatures could be a better version of mankind, more fulfilled, happy, pacific. But mostly the why was left at why not? If Cain could kill Abel, if Frankenstein could do this, it's like why the sky is blue and pigs don't whistle. It just is, this godlike urge to create, even improve on man, and ruthlessly pursue the goal, justifying 10 deaths as collateral damage. And I figured that Morgan, which means "sailor/captain," on her water, her lake, wanted to be the boss, respecting nature along the way, this smarty, smarter than humans, putting an injured deer out of her misery. Takes one to know one, kill one, as Kate outlasted her fellow "whatever," after Morgan's reign of terror. Like "A Clockwork Orange," if you redo mankind to make it better, are you really destroying what is there? God-complexed lab facility manager Toby just couldn't take the thought that, in the end, God would have his way, so he took over the narrative and engineered his own demise, also not unexpected. Like with Jason Bourne, others altered nature and turned him into a multimillion-dollar killing machine. Jason, meet Morgan, though she met her match in the lake. Interesting and suspenseful enough. Very well acted, pretty good flow. Unlike "Ex Machina," in which artificial Alicia made it to the city, Morgan did not.

very good, we want more like this!
