Review of Simulant

Simulant (2023)
5/10
Very so-so glimpse into the future
10 May 2023
Warning: Spoilers
A lot of people are comparing this film to Blade Runner, it is really only similar in that the main character is tracking down rogue "simulants" or "replicants" as in that movie.

For me though, this is a blatant steal from the video game Detroit: Beyond Human, so much so I am surprised they got away with it.

That game is all about androids overcoming their programming and being freed from servitude to humans.

It is not a terrible film but it is very obviously on a low budget and the final showdown between the hunter and hunted is very low-key and mundane.

Has some OK moments but could have been so much better.
