Dealing with Artificial Intelligence is rather common. I watched "Orphan", it deals with a girl with a genetic disorder. In "Morgan", it deals with a girl who is artificially made. During the conversation with a doctor(Jennifer Jason Leigh), she would stab her in the eye. Morgan(Anya Taylor-Joy) appears to be a teenager girl, but she's actually 5 years old. She very intelligent. Her only dark side that she is unpredictable. Cold, aloof, and violent she responded by attacking anyone. Lee Weathers(Kate Mera) travels to the institute to examine Morgan. She does not perceive Morgan as a girl, only as an "it". Since Morgan was more successful than the others made, and she's just like Morgan, COLD! This movie could have been better made. Some parts were just too common. Needed more action. Too much killing. The script is weak. Needs more impact. Too obvious. 2 out of 5 stars

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.

I like sci-fi for its ability to get us to thinking as we are being entertained. This movie does that pretty well. The premise of a new life form is always a good story to tell and if you add mystery, intrigue and drama you get this movie. My only criticism is that it was too short and under-developed but nothing a sequel couldn't cure if handled properly. There are twists along the way which keep you glued to the screen and one wonders about the full premises of this story if it was truly unleashed. the movie goes there too! Here's to....

"Morgan" is a slow-moving, dialogue-filled artificial intelligence thriller which lacks the action or horror elements many viewers expected from the movie, thus turning it into a major critical and commercial disappointment. The film benefits mainly from its great A-list cast, including an amazing Kate Mara, the surprisingly good performers Anya Taylor-Joy and Rose Leslie as well as talented and experienced veteran actors Jennifer Jason Leigh, Brian Cox, Paul Giamatti and Toby Jones (all of whom are not granted more screen time than just a few minutes, unfortunately). Acting-wise, the movie convinces on every level, yet it lacks in the writing department and struggles to make it up by its visuals (which are stunning indeed; the movie is gorgeous to look at, but can that be enough to turn it into a good film?). Overall, "Morgan" remains a shallow exploration of themes which have been examined in movies many times before, without offering a decent pay-off or anything that could possibly amount to more than just an average film.
