Morgan (Luke Scott, 2016)


There is starting to be a real recent surfeit of artificial human stories, relatively well represented by Ex Machina and having diminishing returns after that. Morgan starts off on the same general basis, with a technologically-engineered young girl being assessed for her worthiness to continue existing after violent incidents and then eventually get to Terminator country in survival horror mode as she goes out of control. It keeps you following simply because of working in so many twists of focus and plot, but ends up unrewarding in terms of fresh ideas and therefore deserving of its mediocre reception.

5/10
