Mutant (2024)

Want to know how to make a action packed sci fi? Look no further than Mutant.

Its not a perfect flick but what it does do is offer up tons of action from beginning to end. This film is never, ever dull. CGI is mostly pretty decent too and the acting is competent enough to get you engaged with the characters.

In summary, if China with its fledgling film industry can produce a sci fi this entertaining, what's Hollywood's excuse for the dull, poorly written rubbish it keeps churning out?

Basically, it's Matrix + Jedi vs Sith + AI + Aeon + Contact + Jung_E + Akira + Terminator + … you know what, forget it. It's a mashed-up of multiple Western, Korean, and Japanese science fiction films and anime. Was it intentional? Probably not, but it was definitely inspired by a lot of other great films. The CGI and scenes firmly established where the inspirations came from.

It's good enough. The story is there, if we are not careful, AI can take over. Think of it as a 2024 retelling of an AI gone mankind's doom.
