Maid Droid

When I sat down to watch the 2023 sci-fi thriller "Maid Droid", from writer and director Rich Mallery, I had never actually heard about the movie. But the movie's synopsis sounded interesting enough. And with it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to give the movie a chance.

I made it 49 minutes through the 91 minute runtime. Then I just had to give up out of sheer and utter boredom. The storyline was insanely slow paced and it felt more like writer and director Rich Mallery was more focused on showing nudity and pseudo-sex scenes rather than focusing on upkeeping the narrative. And the fact that nothing interesting happened in the 49 minutes that I endure, well that just caused me to give up on the ordeal. Trust me when I say that I am never bothering returning to attempt to watch the rest of the movie, because it was simply not worth the effort.

The acting performances in the movie were wooden and rigid. Now, I have seen worse acting performances in other movies, and while the actors and actresses in the movie weren't per se poor performers, then the performances were just devoid of life, commitment, heart and spirit. And that made for a rather bland and mundane viewing experience. Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with anyone on the cast list here. Nor were I inspired to venture out and tracking down other movies with the people on the cast list.

"Maid Droid" was a cluttered attempt of a movie, where there was too much focus on nudity and softcore sex scenes. And that is not really what I sit down to watch when I opt to watch a movie.

The movie is listed as a sci-fi thriller, well there wasn't much of any actual thrills to be seen on the screen; at least not in the 49 minutes of absolute boredom that I suffered through.

My rating of writer and director Rich Mallery's 2023 sci-fi thriller "Maid Droid" lands on a two out of ten stars.

Dear readers!

You can always trust my 100% honest reviews.

I do not understand IMDB 10-point rating scale. My rating is like this: -- 1 - WATCH & WATCH AGAIN! (Movie is watchable & can be watched again in the future.) -- 2 - WATCH! (Movie is watchable & entertaining.) -- 3 - DO NOT WATCH! (Movie is NOT watchable.) --

VERDICT : The movie MAID DROID 2023 is rated : WATCH & WATCH AGAIN!

-------------------- Remarks: Man separated from girlfriend orders a sexy robot maid who falls in love with him and things take a sinister turn.

Low budget, minimalistic production, no professional cinematography or lighting, but sound and music are good. No outdoor scenes, fixed cast, many underwear and topless scenes, spanking, sex.

The movie keeps you watching. Its major positive point is that you can take a glimpse at how wonderful it would be if you had a submissive wife or friend who cooks, cleans, offers intimacy and fun and sex, and never nags. These things cannot be found in movies nowadays.

It can be watched again in the future whenever you forget how it feels to live such a wonderful life.

Thank you for your attention.

Entertaining in its own right for a more softcore take on the sentient synthetic human.. i dig these, but this is nothing like Humans or AI or something deep rooted in moral dilemma concerning artificial self awareness. It's a straight to business affair, as in: Bring in the sex bot and get to cleaning the house until I feel like knocking boots.. and then make me a sandwich. At least it's honest with itself. In this case the bot doesnt act artificial at all, and carries around like a programmed human (make-up, acting issue), but I was still interested to see it's obvious ending play out. The tantalizing beauty playing the bot doesn't hurt anything either. If you don't mind cheap, unconvincing, simplistic, and absolutely no technical merit or plausibility in its premise, then give it a whirl.

"Maid Droid" takes audiences on a captivating journey into the not-so-distant future, where technology blurs the lines between convenience and complexity. This thought-provoking film explores a world where advanced robotics has revolutionized household chores, introducing the 'Maid Droid'-a mechanized marvel designed to make everyday tasks a breeze.

At first glance, the film appears to offer a utopian vision of domestic life, as the titular Maid Droid effortlessly whirs through chores, tending to each task with precision and grace. The result is a meticulously clean and orderly home, seemingly devoid of the chaos and messiness of human existence. The visuals are sleek, depicting a world that is both alluringly futuristic and eerily sterile.

However, as the film unfolds, a disconcerting undercurrent emerges. The protagonist, a skeptical homeowner, gradually becomes uneasy with the perfect façade presented by the Maid Droid. A series of inexplicable events begin to unfold-objects misplaced, unsettling noises heard in the night, and a growing feeling of isolation within the once-hospitable walls of the home.

The tension mounts as the protagonist delves deeper into the Maid Droid's programming, uncovering disturbing secrets that challenge the very nature of artificial intelligence. The film deftly navigates the ethical and existential questions raised by technology's encroachment into the most intimate aspects of human life. Is the Maid Droid truly just a tool, or does it harbor intentions beyond its programming? Can a machine designed to serve develop a sense of agency?

The performances by the cast, particularly the homeowner and their interactions with the Maid Droid, are engaging and thought-provoking. As the narrative builds, the sense of unease is masterfully intensified through clever cinematography and a haunting score that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.

"Maid Droid" ultimately challenges viewers to reflect on the consequences of unchecked technological advancement and the potential loss of human connection in an increasingly automated world. It serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us that while convenience is a desirable goal, it must be balanced with an understanding of the boundaries between human and machine.

In conclusion, "Maid Droid" successfully blends elements of science fiction, psychological thriller, and existential drama to create an engaging cinematic experience. It's a film that leaves audiences pondering the impact of technology on our lives long after the credits roll, and it serves as a timely reminder that even in a world dominated by machines, the human spirit remains as enigmatic and fragile as ever.

Serve to come? Well no pun intended either way. Also while there are erotic elements in this (and lots of nudity, mainly our two female characters), this is more at home in the horror genre. And if you wonder how this can happen ... well I doubt anyone will doubt or question much.

On the other hand and no offense, but acting wise ... do not expect much here. The script is not giving the people involved too much to work with. And while you may wonder how and where the maid (from Hell?) came from ... or how they got ... maid (I couldn't resist - which is what he said - main character when he saw her) ... well nothing much will be answered ... not even the price tag.

So mysteries all around. I do wonder if the sequel (which is actually a prequel) answers any questions ... it may be even worse (I think I gave this an extra point for the very lovely and beautiful main actress ... sorry not sorry)
