Story: 2099 The Soldier Protocol starts when Dr Emmett Snyder (Arquette) gets his latest subject Matthew Allen Mills (Gallagher). He gets a new partner in Dr Allison Turner (Rae) who witnesses the torture Emmett puts Matthew through.

Allison questions the research process and learns how much stronger Matthew has become. Meanwhile. Matthew beats every test put on front on him and it turning out to be the best subject in a long time. However, when the subjects get stronger, they become a bigger threat.

Recap

The movie follows scientists performing experiments on subjects to create perfect soldiers. However, the latest subject becomes stronger than anything they have seen before and a bigger threat.

Best Parts

This movie creates the secretive lab and builds on the idea that people are using nanobots to help cure problems. And of course, we dive into more of a military motivation for it. This all comes together nicely to show the smoother operation and ruthless nature.

Worst Parts

The creation feels great, but doesn’t seem to have the scale presented. It makes you feel like we could have plenty of subjects and it only seems to present a solo one in such a large-scale facility. This pushes heavily into another idea before we get the real reveal too.
