That can be seen as a good thing, not because martial arts are more exciting than moral debates, but because the latter requires a deft touch. It starts out smart and geek-chic, then goes mainstream. It blooms with ideas, but avoids the risks of dealing with them. It successfully occupies an interstitial space that’s thoughtful enough to engage my intellectual interests, then indulge my mindless ones. Most of the major characters are female and the film doesn’t objectify them. I like the colour palettes and the way they shift with the narrative. It’s fast-paced and efficient, stylish, and exceptionally beautiful to look at. I don’t expect them to be brilliant I just want them to be fun, but they’re way too long and they generate such little interest in the characters and plots that even the action scenes bore me. I’m comparing them because Morgan gave me the entertainment I want but seldom find in the latest blockbusters. It isn’t the cerebral sf thriller that it might look like, or that its cast seems to suggest it is but it’s way better than most of the commercial sf out there, especially the superhero movies that get much more attention. Despite its commitment issues, I like Morgan. ![]()
