Too many distracting elements of Bionic make it hard to enjoy.

Yes, its range is a bit limited. But the human element is enlivened by Jessica Córes and Gabz, while the tech stuff teases some interesting looks into the future.

Bionic is science fiction with nothing new to say about the mind, body, or soul, proving to be just an empty assembly of parts rather than a cohesive whole.

If the storytelling was on par with the film’s technical elements, it would’ve steered clear of the sinkholes in the algorithm. Since that’s not the case, the odds don’t seem to be in Bionic’s favor.
