Subservience

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.

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.

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.

Megan Fox plays Aurora, an AI companion, and honestly, it's the most fitting role she's ever had. Her cold delivery and lack of emotional depth finally make sense in the context of the story. Instead of feeling out of place, her robotic vibe is exactly what the role needs, and she delivers (ironically) her most convincing performance yet.

The movie itself is a mix of solid sci-fi concepts and questionable execution. It's not groundbreaking, but it has some genuinely thought-provoking moments. The visual effects are impressive for what I assume wasn't a massive budget, and the pacing kept me interested.

That said, there's a glaring lack of character development for anyone who isn't Aurora. The human characters feel more robotic than the robot at times, which makes it hard to connect with the story.

Overall, it's worth a watch if you're into AI-themed movies or just want to see Megan Fox in a role that finally fits her style. It's not perfect, but it's entertaining in its own way. 6/10.

Largely a Ripoff (hate to be so unkind, but) of Hulu's "Humans". Good-looking female android is purchased by a father whose wife is in hospital. Predictably, the father has sex with the (exceptionally good-looking) Robot, blah blah. A decent flick on its own, but since it so closely parallels "Humans", I call it a Ripoff. BTW: "Humans" ran far deeper than this. "Humans" was a story about a nascent Android culture that had become Aware, and had to be dealt with by the human population...reminiscent of Isaac Asimov's "I, Robot". But if you like looking at Megan Fox and you're not familiar with Humans, go for it.
