MERCY 2026 MOVIE REVIEW AND NEWS FROM THEATRE EXPERIENCE
I walked into the theatre expecting a stylish sci fi
thriller. I walked out with mixed emotions, racing thoughts, and one
uncomfortable question stuck in my head. What if justice was no longer human.
Mercy 2026 is not just another crime movie. It tries
to scare you quietly. Not with monsters or explosions, but with an AI voice
calmly deciding your fate.
This film set in 2029, a future that feels very close
to our present. Chris Pratt plays Detective Chris Raven, a cop accused of
killing his own wife. There is no long courtroom drama, no emotional jury.
Instead, he is locked into something called the Mercy
Chair.
He gets 90 minutes. An AI judge named Maddox decides
whether he lives or dies. The system believes guilty until proven innocent.
Sitting in the theatre, that idea alone felt terrifying.
As the clock ticks, screens surround him. Surveillance
footage, past conversations, digital memories. Every second feels heavy. I
could feel the tension in my chest as the AI voice kept calculating
probabilities.
CAST AND PERFORMANCES THAT STOOD OUT
Chris Pratt delivers a restrained performance. This is
not a usual action hero role. He looks tired, broken, and desperate. That
worked for me. Rebecca Ferguson as the AI Judge Maddox is the real highlight.
Her calm voice, emotionless face, and controlled presence made the character
feel disturbingly real. I almost forgot she was not human. Supporting actors
like Kali Reis and Annabelle Wallis add emotional depth, especially in
flashback scenes that quietly hurt more than loud drama.

SCREENLIFE STYLE AND VISUAL EXPERIENCE
Mercy uses a screen based storytelling format.
Everything unfolds through cameras, screens, AI interfaces, and digital feeds.
At first, it feels different. After a while, it feels
suffocating. Which I think was intentional. The neon lighting, dark interiors,
and IMAX scale make the film visually intense. It looks modern, cold, and
controlled. Just like the world it shows.
This movie is really about fear.
The idea that an AI can decide your life based on
probability instead of truth is deeply unsettling. While watching, I kept
thinking how close we already are to this reality.
Mercy does not scream its message. It whispers it. And
that whisper stays with you.
CRITICAL RECEPTION AND MY HONEST VERDICT
Critics are divided, and I understand why.
Some parts feel familiar. Some twists are predictable.
The pacing slows in the middle.
But emotionally, Mercy works.
As an audience member, I felt engaged. I felt
uncomfortable. I felt thoughtful after the credits rolled.
This is not a perfect movie. But it is a brave one.
Recommended if you enjoy intelligent sci fi, courtroom
tension, and AI based thrillers.
