Mother/Android

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.

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.

The acting is on point, Chloë Grace Moretz is such a great actress. There is also action in it this makes it a little bit more exciting to watch further even though at times the movie is slow. There is a clear beginning end goal, so that is why you want to see this movie until the end. Overall score 6.5/10. Hoping for a sequel.

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.

"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.
