.....but only succeeds in making you sleep. I really can't believe all the good reviews for this. Creation of the Humanoids is a pretentious, plodding dud of a flick. It aims to strike the viewer as profound science fiction but, ultimately, it has a 10th grader's idea of what that looks like. Admittedly the production is hampered by a low budget, but that doesn't mean that the movie has to be stripped down to nothing more than an attempt to talk you to death. It could really stand a few human touches. How about a little comedy? Why not show one or two of those 1.4 children they keep on mentioning? And, fer Gawd's sake, how about some suspense? Hell, at least a car chase! The only scene that approaches exciting territory is a brief fist fight that occurs near the beginning of the film. If you choose to watch this turkey you'll want to cherish that scene because it's all slow going after that. This movie reminds me of all those old 60's soap operas that used to air on weekday afternoons. There was always plenty of tense talk between two or more characters but precious little ever happened and, if it did, it was almost always happening off camera and simply alluded to in one of the many endless stretches of dialogue that filled another wasted half hour of television time. In short, this movie is a bore. The ending, which is supposed to provide the only surprise twist to a barely existent plot, is so obvious that you guess it right after the rugged guy and attractive gal first meet. View this only if you enjoy watching other people chatter at each other.
