Mother/Android

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.

Humans play God and make androids. The androids turn on humans and try to destroy them. What began as Frankenstein is in this film a feminist fable about a pregnant mother determined to save her baby and her man from the android apocalypse.

Although the movie has some anxiety provoking moments, it doesn't sustain the tension in the way a good horror or science fiction movie needs. The pace of the first three quarters of the film devolves into a romantic soap opera at the end of the film.

Hint: Buffy has a similar plot where she fights against android/monster Adam during a season of the series. She vanquishes Adam at the end of the season with the help of her friends. The point of the season is that human connections sustain us, even when we fight monsters.

The point of this movie seems to be that human connections make us weaker and miserable, but we fight with them because we can't escape the monster.

What's the difference? Good writing. Buffy has a character arc. No one in this movie does. Even selfless acts are punished by more pain. Who wants to see that plot?

Chloe needs a new agent so that she doesn't have to make craptastic movies like this one. She is better than this.

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.

"Mother/Android" is a post apocalyptic science fiction film, but it manages to be quite slow and uneventful. It lacks tension and suspense. I was rather bored by it.

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.
