- TriviaThe MPAA number at the end of the film (#47714) is the same on both "Frankenstein" (2015) and "The Place Beyond The Pines" (2012).
- GoofsAt the end, Elizabeth is dead. But when Adam carries her, her arm is completely wrapped around his neck as he carries her to the fire. A dead person's arm could not maintain such a position, even if placed there by the carrier; only a live person, using muscles, would be able to keep the arm up like that. Without muscles, it would just hang down behind him. Also, as he carries her, his left arm is supporting her torso and her head is upright. Again, a head maintaining such a position would be impossible for a dead person. A dead person would have no muscles to keep a head up. Instead, it would droop backwards in the direction of gravity. Finally, as he places her down on the burning logs, her head slowly descends, whereas it should fall down, since, again, there are no working muscles to control its descent. All of this is also true if she were merely unconscious.

Featured review
A generic rendering of a timeless classic...
Right, well first of all I didn't even know that this movie was released back in 2015, I guess it was overshadowed by "Victor Frankenstein" that was also released that very same year.
Regardless, I stumbled upon director and writer Bernard Rose's 2015 "Frankenstein" movie in 2019 and decided to give it a view, based solely on the fact that it was based on the Mary Shelley novel. I didn't even know who starred in the movie, and had not even heard about it prior to sitting down to watch it.
I must say that the movie was a mixture of both good elements and not so good elements. First of all, the cinema world really didn't need another interpretation of the Shelley classic, and spicing it up to be modern really didn't alter that fact. With that being said, then I will also say that this 2015 version is actually one of the more enjoyable adaptions in quite some time.
I had perhaps expected a bit more horror elements, given the novel it is based upon, but this was more of a thriller mixed with drama elements than it was a horror movie, much to my disappointment.
However, I was rather impressed with the cast they managed to get together for this movie. First of all, I am not familiar with Xavier Samuel whom played Adam, but he really put on a great performance in this movie. But the fact that they had the likes of Carrie-Anne Moss, Danny Huston and Tony Todd on the cast list was a pretty nice achievement.
What worked the best in this updated modernized adaptation of Mary Shelley's timeless classic was the focus on the characters and the storydriven plot. I must admit that I was actually entertained throughout the course of the entire movie. Just a shame that the overall result of "Frankenstein" was a mediocre one.
The appearance and transformation - or shall we say decay - of Adam, Frankenstein's creation, was actually quite nice, and it was definitely a factor that kept the movie afloat and semi-interesting.
Having watched this 2015 rendering of "Frankenstein", I can honestly say that while it was entertaining, the movie was also at the some time mundane and generic. And it is hardly the type of movie that you will watch a second time.
