Mother/Android (2022) Review

This film made its way to Netflix recently and I have now watched Mother/Android and here is my review for the film. The premise of the film sees a pregnant woman and her boyfriend attempt to survive when Androids rebel on their human masters. 

Main Character

Chloe Grace Moretz plays the lead character in this film and she does an okay job. When required she manages to deliver some emotion tot the role, especially towards to the end of the film. But there is no denying that this is just a really boring character and if it wasn't the fact that she was pregnant throughout there would be literally no reason to care. 

Supporting Characters

Algee Smith plays her boyfriend and he is just such a bad character, the two of them end up arguing throughout the majority of the film. He also is incredibly selfish and basically does what we wants even though he isn't the one that is pregnant. Raul Castillo plays a character who turns up towards the end of the film and he is overacting every scene that he is in, his character is so absurd that it took me out of the film and just annoyed me. There isn't really anybody else in the film of any note which makes it really noticeable when the rest of the cast don't deliver. 

Story 

The story gets one positive and that is by making the main character a pregnant woman it adds an extra layer of tension to the majority of the film. But the film is truly nonsensical, the plot makes no sense, the whole story isn't explained. I mean why did the androids turn? I still don't know and I have watched the film all the way through, it misses the mark and gives this incredibly bland and stupid story. 

Script

The script is awful, it is really drab and dull. There is no humour to talk of and the drama fails, you are meant to care about these characters and you just won't at all.

Style  

The film looks cheap, there are meant to be androids but you barely see them and when you do the film does a poor job of showing there power. The action scenes fall really flat and are filmed poorly which means even if it has decent action scenes you wouldn't be able to see them. The film is also paced badly, with it being way too slow and it never manages to sink its claws into us as a viewer. 

Overall

Overall, Mother/Android is a really bad film. It does nothing particularly well and don't waste your time with this rubbish. 

Rating - 2/10
