Review of Morlocks (2011) by Joseph C — 25 Feb 2013

Pretty bad fare. As mentioned elsewhere, the plot was taken from a classic H.G. Wells novel, "The Time Machine," including the name Morlocks, their aversion to light, and cannaballistic tendencies. At least they acknowledged that by naming the program "Project Eloi".

The secret military program, the nerdy scientist, the good guy who gives himself up to save the rest, the beautiful female scientist, the obsessed commander - this is way too trite and predictable. Special effects are pretty weak, especially for 2011.

Home alone, sick on a Wednesday mid-morning? Go ahead and watch. Unless reruns of "Alf" are on Comedy Central.
