Prototype

The production is ba, i think this was filmed with iPhone 6. Acting sub par. The plot is ok but it's just d- sci fi. I could only take about 10 minutes of this movie. Hope someone likes it.

Well, sure the movie's synopsis sounded interesting enough, and it was essentially why I sat down to watch the 2022 sci-fi movie "Prototype" from writer Sam Gurney and director Jack Peter Mundy. Sure, I hadn't even heard about "Prototype" prior to watching it, and I am not particularly keen on sci-fi movies. But the synopsis made it sound interesting enough.

And what sounded good on script and paper should perhaps have stayed on paper, because the transition from script to the screen wasn't a good one. The whole movie was just oozing with amateurish atmosphere. And it sort of held the movie back in a very bad way.

The storyline was okay, but not great though. I will say that the movie can be watched, and perhaps even enjoyed if you are a sci-fi fan and can get past the amateurish feel that flows from every single aspect of the movie.

The special effects and designs of the androids was just laughably bad. It was so painstakingly obviously just an actor wearing a synthetic latex face over his own. And no effort had been made to make a smooth transition from the eye sockets of the latex mask to the actor's own eyes. Nor had they even bothered to try to fuse the mouth of the mask and actor together in a seemingly meld. It was just painful to watch, and it made the movie feel even more amateurish and low budget than necessary.

This movie was a swing and a miss, even for a sci-fi movie. And this is definitely not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on, not even if you are a sci-fi aficionado.

My rating of "Prototype" lands on a two out of ten stars.

You know when movies are so bad you actually laugh. This was just below that, which means it was super ridiculously bad, but not enough to have fun laughing at it. It was just bad.

Within seconds you can tell this will suck ... boy I wasnt disappointed !!! Oh and the acting was worse than those masks lol. I thought I already watched all the horrible movies.

As a fan of Her, Ex Machina, I, Robot and the like, saw this on Roku and decided to watch it. Well-paced drama movie with action and relationship issues. There is bloody action scenes and has a dark theme to it. Not for those who are looking for a positive movie. Recommend this to mature audiences as the theme is serious and dramatic. Also, for those interested in seeing how robotic assistance may affect a relationship. There is fairly minimal nudity so safe for mature young folks. There is a bit of bullying with a dark twist to it so not the healthiest content for the mind. The ending is interesting and does tie the movie up to be an okay film. I recommend this on a weekday as it is a mid-rating film from my perspective and mind spice up the week.
