THE STORY :
Lee Weathers (Kate Mara) is a risk-assessment specialist from a company that funds research projects devoted to creating artificial human beings. She is called in to investigate an incident involving one of their experiments. The company dispatches her to a remote location where one of the company's most promising projects, a human hybrid called Morgan (Anya Taylor-Joy), has violently lashed out at one of the scientists, Dr. Kathy Grieff (Jennifer Jason Leigh), after having a 'tantrum', in which she stabbed her in the eye with a pen. Lee Weathers realizes that Morgan is too unpredictable, especially given her enhanced intelligence and strength, and must be terminated.

OUR REVIEW :
The dangers posed to humanity by artificial lifeforms have been explored time and again in cinema. Unfortunately, here, the story never finds a focus, shifting from Morgan to Lee to the research team and back. 'Morgan' is a humanoid made from synthetic DNA. She´s a biological organism, a scientific experiment, a corporate product. 'Morgan' is less about the conflict between technology and messy human emotion than their entanglement, a mashup both exhilarating and terrifying.
