Scientists at IBM Research have collaborated with 20th Century Fox to create the first-ever cognitive movie trailer for the movie 'Morgan.' Utilizing experimental Watson APIs and machine learning techniques, the IBM Research system analyzed hundreds of horror/thriller movie trailers. After learning what keeps audiences on the edge of their seats, the AI system suggested the top 10 best candidate moments for a trailer from the movie 'Morgan,' which an IBM filmmaker then edited and arranged together.

Trivia
Morgan, in its opening weekend, couldn't even crack the weekend top ten after an estimated $615,000 on the Friday it was released in the US, from 2,020 theaters, heading toward a three-day weekend around $1.8 million and a four-day weekend around $2.3 million. It ended up being one of the worst openers of the summer and one of the worst openings for a film debuting in over 2,000 theaters. The film was subsequently pulled from theatres after 2 and a half weeks.

Goofs
In the opening scene, during the recording that Lee hears, Dr. Shapiro's first name is Ben, however, in the credits it's Alan.

6/10

Pretty decent little sci-fi thriller.

It's nothing revolutionary to the genre, but for a low budget Irish film by newb filmmakers, I still enjoyed it, and it's an entertaining one-time watch. There were many decent parts, and the concept worked well, but it got a little sloppy and overambitious by the third act. It lacked cohesion and clarity towards the end, and got a little clunky, cliched and predictable. There were plot and technical issues, but nothing grand outside expected rookie mistakes. The cinematography was great, and had a surprisingly fitting and decent score for a B film. All casting and performances were on point, and the fair pacing made the 92 min runtime fly by. Had the third act been fine-tuned, this easily could've been a great film.
