I dunno, I think the whole thing is just tainted by the human incarnation of damp cardboard that is the main character. I hope to god if they make 7 they start from scratch instead of rehashing the same garbage group for the third time in a row. Everyone feels so one dimensional, you can literally sum every character up in less than a full sentence. At least Sidney was likable and had a personality beyond permanent resting-sulky-face, and even she had a different cast around her each time. Honestly, why bother getting in Courtney Cox, Hayden Panettiere and Samara Weaving for bit parts when you're gonna have the queen of bland on screen 90% of the time. The faster they kill off this Sam loser, the better.

If you've seen the trailer for this, you've seen the whole movie. It's so stupidly unimaginative. Ever seen Child's Play? Yeah it's that but replace voodoo possession with AI.

This is the film equivalent of the garbage, heartless mascot horror genre of games.

The technology is on the level of "it's just magic, cos AI." There's no reason she can magically tap into everything electrical around her, from controlling a house to running a car wirelessly.

Why does she randomly dance in a tense moment? Because they thought it would look good for the trailer.

Why does she randomly break into a song? Because "hAhA i Am TiTaNiUm!!1!" and they thought it would look good in the trailer.

Why does her voice become randomly more robotic whenever she's doing something evil? Plot convenience.

Save yourself the time and skip this overhyped garbage.

The first Orphan was great. The biggest thing was what a strange story it was and how hard the twist hit.

That's missing when you watch a prequel and it's all already known. On top of that it's the same character, so while there's 'threats,' you know by the end of it she MUST be completely fine to go off and do the events of the first movie.

It had a decent spin to the story, but not one that was unforseeable. They weirdly tried to shoe-horn in a very similar plotline with the father to what happened in the original, but spent so much time focusing on the mother and brother that there didn't seem to be any development of that relationship and it kind of just got tacked on as an afterthought in the final minutes.
