Morgan is a great Science Fiction movie. Horror... not so much. The acting is believable and even though this movie will not blow your mind, it is very enjoyable. The first half drags a bit, but as things get going, the movie shows its stronger side. I found myself not being bored of it at all and Luke Scott, the son of Ridley Scott, directed this one very well. The movie looks great, the sound is top notch and Morgan is the ideal movie to just lean back, relax and open a pack of chips.

While critically reviled, I found this to be a taut, tense genre exercise driven by a superb performance from Anya Taylor-Joy.

**Knowing it's a research, the mistake is emotionally attached to the subject!**
A nicely made sci-fi-thriller, but the entire storyline was built on a very familiar plot. You can find it similarities with 'Splice', 'Uncanny' and 'Ex Machina', but I think overall not a bad attempt. I did not get impressed, so do most of the people who saw those films, especially the end scene. Though it is entertaining, particularly when it turns into an action mode.
The corporate that invested in a research sends an investigator named Lee after the project was met with a small accident. During an interview, the chaos unleashes and the lab started to fall apart. The survivours does not know who to trust, but decides to save their subject. What really follows after that will be totally unexpected and another twist before the final credits.
Knowing it's a research, the mistake is emotionally attached to the subject. That's what all the similar topic films reveal. Then what's the point of doing such test, being doctor, studied psychology. For a film plot, they wanted to use the human sentiments and errors. Otherwise, science does not really deal like what was shown in this film.
From a new director, with the decent actors, particularly Kate Mara's best in an action avatar. I liked the Anya in the film 'The Witch' and this is another good performance by her in the title role. Felt like it is a short film, because the pace was so good, even though the story was a one-liner. Minimal cast film and takes place in a remote place secret research lab. A film not for everyone, but not bad for once viewing.
