Madre/Androide

So Chloe did this film called Shadow in the Cloud a year before this one. It features a woman with a small baby, trying to survive things that are trying to kill her in a misogynistic world while ineffectually protected by a weak man. In the end she rises to the occasion, saving her child. This film is basically the same, only seemingly on a much smaller budget and really falling flat. Instead of gremlins in a plane it's androids in a forest. Instead of manly but stupid flyboys she gets manly but stupid army guys. Similarities aside, I liked Shadow in the Cloud, yet I was completely unimpressed and bored with this film. And what the hell is that title? Couldn't they think of something better?

Bottom line: the movie feels amateurish and under budget, like a student film. The effects are few and far between, while the story is full of holes and completely uninspiring.

6.5/10 Despite the powerful ending and some of the scene that works, Mother/Android could've been in a better situation, could've been a better performance (Chloë Grace Moretz did a good job but Algee Smith didn't), and could've been a better story.

She's a fantastic actress yet it's bomb after bomb after bomb for her and she's the only good thing in them.

Chloe, please fire your agent and come back to us with some quality films, we know you're a talented actress and we all love to watch you do your work, but this is straining it for us.

I don't think this movie was as bad as other reviewers said, but definitely nothing new and clearly there was a lack of thought about some things that could have been much better. I think it was saved by chloe's acting but the basic idea of human-like robots that turn against their masters and murder is unsophisticated in itself, and doesn't work as a story the way it did in the 50s- before there had been time for anyone to think it through. Reminds me of an Orson Welles movie... innovative at the time but silly today.

They should find a way to market this kind of scifi because it seems the title attracts the wrong audience, and the wrong audience gives it low scores. You tell people that this movie is by the guy who made an action packed superhero movie, so kids watch it expecting more of the same.

The movie had great atmosphere, good acting, and a good story. If you think all scifi should be like a marvel movie, keep away from this. There's nothing wrong with marvel movies, and there's nothing wrong with this.
