Morlocks

The production values would indicate someone spent some bucks on this film and cast. It's too bad they didn't pre-screen it with someone other than a ninth-grade gamer to check for plot holes big enough to drive a Hummer (and then elevator cab) through.

My biggest problem is with the look and feel, and that falls on the director. Scenes that didn't have to be shot hand-held were, even when a simple tripod would do, and the effect is nauseating; don't show this on a boat, anyone prone to sea sickness will be sent right over the edge by the constant shifting of the frame.

Also to the look and feel: Why does every Sci-Fi/SyFy movie have to look like an X-box 360 game? What happened to the good old days when directors knew how to set up a shot and a scene? If you have to push this hard to engender some sort of excitement, then the plot needs serious assistance.

Don't make the mistake I made. I kept watching and hoping something original or interesting would happen, but this is nothing more than a static version of Half Life, Black Ops, or /insert your favorite video game here\.

If I say this is a SyFy flicks then geeks immediately should know that it will be trash. But it's funny that all people who hates SyFy flicks still watch their new ones again and again. The story is mostly okay and when it started I thought, hell yeah, this is going to be a really bloody flick. But after the opening credits the budget was gone I guess and they used some cheap CGI effects to create the 'morlocks'. The stupidest thing is the fact that most of the blood was also CGI. The acting was rather okay but I kept watching it just to see how bad the CGI was. When will SyFy finally spend some money on good CGI? I wasn't involved with the characters at all, do I need to say more? For me no Mor(e)locks.

What a stinker of a movie. Should know by now anything with ex Stargate/Star trek actors is going to be a dud. Deleted from my PVR immediately after watching so my partner wouldn't get to see it. It's really only worth watching to see the really bad and obvious CGI. It is however a credit to the actors that they perform like professionals and soldier on through a woefully badly written script and criminally bad direction.

Its so flabbergastingly bad that its hard to come up with a decent review but others have said it all before. It could be part of a challenge in an endurance contest

So many great SciFi stories. So many bad SciFi movies

Monstrous creatures called Morlocks from the future are brought to the present by an American military experiment involving time travel. As soon as I saw "SyFy" on the opening credits my hopes were dashed, having watched so many of their poor quality productions previously. Shot in Europe on the cheap the cast includes European actors playing Americans, but not always convincingly so, in particular the black guy called Tyrell who's natural British accent keeps slipping through his phoney American one. The Morlocks themselves are pretty hideous looking and the movie packs in plenty of blood, gore and violence but sadly the CGI effects, used not just for the creatures and gore but also for buildings and vehicles, are very poor. I was impressed by one shocking scene in which a woman wakes up in a room full of decaying corpses but overall the movie was crap.

The military has constructed a time machine looking to retrieve technology from the future. Instead, they are invaded by vicious creatures called the Morlocks.

It's a Syfy TV movie with a few familiar faces, TV-level CGI, non-descript industrial locations, and a passable connection to the H. G. Wells work. You get what you get. It's a bland B-movie.
