WETWARE is set in a near future where there are tough and tedious jobs no one wants to do - and people down on their luck who volunteer for genetic modifications to make them right for this work -- in slaughterhouses, infectious disease wards, landfill and other hard jobs. With business booming, programmers at Galapagos Wetware up the stakes by producing high-end prototypes, Jack (Bret Lada) and Kay, for more sensitive jobs like space travel, deep cover espionage or boots on the ground for climate or resource conflicts.Galapagos genetic programmer Hal Briggs (Cameron Scoggins) improvises as he goes on what qualities to include or delete in his gene splicing for Jack and, especially, Kay, to whom he develops a dangerous attachment. Then word gets out that Jack and Kay have escaped, before Briggs has completed his work. As Briggs scrambles to track his fugitive prototypes, he makes a provocative discovery that changes everything.

Insipid and incomprehensible.

Wooden acting a result of bad writing and stultifying direction; vacuous and somnolent affect masquerading as deep themes. Relentlessly unmotivated plot and dialogue. Wish I could say something positive.

IRRELEVANT PURPOSELESS WASTE

I really expected better from Jerry O'Connell. No interesting or compelling characters. No character back stories. IMO poorly written, purposeless. The rest of this is filler to meet minimum character requirements. The rest of this is filler to meet minimum character requirements.

This film is must watch for our times!

Beautifully directed and shot--this independent film delivers--the noir feeling is palpable and the feeling of uneasiness and the reality of pandemics makes Wetware an important film to watch during Covid 19. For a small film, tackling big issues the filmmakers should be commended!

Interesting but...

This was done on a very small budget, and not bad, but something bugged me. The people volunteer to become these drones? Nah, that makes no sense, especially after we see those girls making fun of and harassing one of them.

They could have come up with an incentive, free money or housing or something for their family, or made it an evil plot to do it to people unaware, etc...

Noir Meets Surrealism in Dystopia

Cyberpunk stylee, noir, surrealism, dystopian. Nice commentary on a certain virus; which just happened to happen naturally, near some lab somewhere. Transhumanism, as people are made less human, to perform certain tasks. The pencil-necked, pretty-boy, styled hair, nineties looking guys, add to the surrealism. Seen on Tubi, the free streaming site; which has some unusual finds, among some real trash.
