This is not a sneak preview. This film has already released.
It’s “Frankenstein” meets “Jurassic Park” meets “I, Robot” when synthetic bioscientist William Foster (Keanu Reeves) becomes obsessed with restoring his family but has to make a sophie’s choice. It was a dark & stormy night when the Foster family’s weekend vacation ends in a tragic car accident. True to the sci-fi genre, one must be able to suspend some rational belief as Keanu’s character switches to mad scientist mode in order to overcome astronomical odds & successfully clone his family. Foster’s Igor is this young goofy but brilliant fellow scientist named Ed. What could go wrong? Foster’s lies covering up his other lies will ultimately catch up with him. Every big corporation like Biodyne here seems to always be led by an evil & greedy man trying to cover up & capitalize on the situation. If you just relax & go with the flow & not sweat the big stuff, you might have a good time with this fairly predictable plot.
Alien gives it 2½ “neural mapping & imprinting” stars out of 4.
