Alex - Until humankind is able to create an independently thinking AI, I suppose we will continue to get films about brilliant yet clueless scientists creating artificial intelligence in the form of a person, which then runs amok and everyone is left wondering, "Where did we go wrong?" Morgan is one such film. Directed by Ridley Scott's son Luke Scott, the film centers on a corporate risk management specialist who must assess the progress of a bunch of secluded scientists as they secretly work on creating artificial life. As you've already guessed, things don't go well and nearly everyone but the risk management specialist (played well by Mara Rooney) knew it was coming. I really liked Mara's performance, and Luke Scott's eye for framing a shot and capturing beauty is spot on. But the script was poor, the action scenes are clumsily filmed and in the end, you're left wondering: Why did anyone think this story needed to be told. 5/10
