Subservience

I agree with some reviewers that there are folks out there who just are overly critical. The movie is "OK"... it's not something I would watch again, and is fairly predictable but there are a couple of tweaks here and there that build suspense.

Some folks seem thrilled that Megan Fox is the star and others like myself are 'meh' about her. This is a good role for her, a robot. ;-)

Without giving anything away, the flick does delve ever so slightly into the whole question of automation taking jobs away from people.

Overall, better than watching paint dry and I've wasted time watching a lot worse than this. If you like sci-fi as I do, then you could do worse.

So I just got done watching Subservience (2024) and it's about what you would expect from a M3GAN ripoff movie.

Positives for Subservience (2024): Megan Fox does a decent job with her performance in this movie and that's all I was expecting. I've seen her give better performance in movies like Jennifer's Body (2009) and Till Death (2021), but this is still decent enough for this movie. There is some investment in the plot for a while.

Negatives for Subservience (2024): This is another generic horror movie with nothing to offer to the horror genre. This is just a M3GAN ripoff with Megan Fox as the villain and that's about it.

Overall, I don't have a lot to say about this movie, but if you're interested, you can go watch the movie and form your own opinion.

Nobody was likable in this movie,so was hard to care & root for any character survival.

The humans had less personality than any robots,which sums up the poor movie quality.

Many similar movies have been made with this topic,actually better even ones dating to years before special effects improved with technology.

The actors to acting,dialog all just fell really flat with clichés & blandness.

If movies keep getting made about artificial intelligence,why not go bigger & more unrealistic over potential futuristic possibilities? Instead we get a cookie cutter production.

Not something will recommend or watch,again.

When Maggie ends up in hospital, in need of a newer operation, husband Nick purchases a new synthetic, Alice, to help around the house, Alice however takes her duties a little too far.

It doesn't surprise me that this film has been slated by critics and viewers alike, it's not great, it's definitely been done before, better, and somehow it just feels a little bit dated.

The standout element here, Megan Fox, she does a terrific job as Alice, she is first rate, she certainly looks the part, she's beautiful, but somehow artificial.

Unfortunately there are several flaws, why, oh why did Nick have to pick such a hot looking synthetic, like it was never going to end well, he'd have been better with the grandfather type, Alice's sexual fascination with Nick was baffling.

I honestly kept on questioning if Alice was a human plant or not. One question, if there was such an urgency to get the building finished, why were the workers locked away at night? It makes no sense.

5/10.

Nick (Michele Morrone) is struggling to care for his two kids while his wife Maggie (Madeline Zima) is in the hospital. He is convinced to buy the latest home robot and names it Alice (Megan Fox). The robot's new AI learning allows it to corrupt its own programming.

This is almost there. It has the general idea. Robots gone bad is not anything new. Quite frankly, it's getting a little cliché nowadays. The most interesting aspect may be putting Megan Fox into the role. Honestly, this may be her best recent work. Still, this movie has all kinds of little problems and I'm not excited to nitpick all of them. Let's just say that this movie needs a few more spins around the rewrite cycle. This is almost good enough to be fine.
