“Mad Genius” (*1/2 out of four) was an utterly stupid futuristic melodrama about a young technical prodigy (Chris Mason) who in an attempt to fix humanity and save the world attempts “to hack the human mind” but things naturally don’t go as planned leading to numerous complications for him and for society. Mixes elements of a futuristic action thriller, teen melodrama, and social commentary but results are unpleasant and dumb. Mason is one-note in the lead.
