Review of Simulant

Simulant (2023)
7/10
Decent Robot, AI Movie!
9 October 2023
The world is full of Simulants, human looking robots and one man wants to give them free will. This is one half of the story while the other half focuses on a grieving widow and the Simulant doppelgänger of her dead husband. The story is quiet interesting though a bit unfocused due to the two nearly parallel storylines taking place as they merge into one. A issue I have with it is the ending being kind of bad and honestly a bit silly overall.

The cast was pretty solid with Jordana Brewster playing Faye our grieving widow with Robbie Amell playing her husband Evan. Finally Simu Liu plays Casey our man trying to give free will to the whole Simulant race. Really good performances by them all.

The VFX and SFX were good, especially the way they did the Simulants and the heart of the Simulants etc, that was pretty cool.

Overall a good movie and I give it a solid 7/10. Decent storyline, good cast and effects. Recommend a watch if you like movies like iRobot or you want to see some more of Robbie Amell or Simu Liu.
