Summary
Reviewers say 'Subservience' offers a thought-provoking exploration of AI ethics but is marred by a predictable plot and reliance on sci-fi tropes. Megan Fox's performance as the AI robot is widely praised for its believability and depth. However, the film faces criticism for its cliché storyline, pacing issues, and underdeveloped characters. Despite these flaws, the concept and Fox's performance make it an entertaining watch, though it is often compared unfavorably to similar films like 'M3GAN' and 'Ex Machina'.
Featured reviews
Nobody was likable in this movie,so was hard to care & root for any character survival.
The humans had less personality than any robots,which sums up the poor movie quality.
Many similar movies have been made with this topic,actually better even ones dating to years before special effects improved with technology.
The actors to acting,dialog all just fell really flat with clichés & blandness.
If movies keep getting made about artificial intelligence,why not go bigger & more unrealistic over potential futuristic possibilities? Instead we get a cookie cutter production.
Not something will recommend or watch,again.

So I just got done watching Subservience (2024) and it's about what you would expect from a M3GAN ripoff movie.
Positives for Subservience (2024): Megan Fox does a decent job with her performance in this movie and that's all I was expecting. I've seen her give better performance in movies like Jennifer's Body (2009) and Till Death (2021), but this is still decent enough for this movie. There is some investment in the plot for a while.
Negatives for Subservience (2024): This is another generic horror movie with nothing to offer to the horror genre. This is just a M3GAN ripoff with Megan Fox as the villain and that's about it.
Overall, I don't have a lot to say about this movie, but if you're interested, you can go watch the movie and form your own opinion.

The movie's already really bad, as you can read in the other reviews, but the main character actor Michelle Morone turns it into a total train wreck. This is honestly the worst acting I've seen in movies since years. They could have taken any dude from the street, and he would have performed better.
His emotions are just always wrong or all over the place. The moment he see's the sexy robot for the first time, for example, his face just stays blank, nothing happens, absolutely nothing. They must have taken a shot from the scene where he waits for his next line of dialogue. Wooden doesn't even describe his style of acting, it's worse. To be fair, the actress who plays his wife isn't much better. Or his collegue at work, who is not an actor, he's an over actor. These actors make you prefer robots over humans.
Don't even get me started on the script of this train wreck. Doesn't make any sense.

That's the movie. Megan Fox is an AI robot. She's actually quite believable as a robot. I don't think they could have casted a better beautiful android robot babe. So congrats.
Also, Michelle Zima is a good actor many folks don't know about. I thought she did well given the awful script and dialogue. People should know she is a good actor and has been doing it for a long time.
Ok, besides that...the movie is pretty bad. It's watchable but that's about it. The plot holes are insanely big, the plot has been done a bunch of times. Actually, there's a great Outer Limits episode from the 90s that's quite good "Valerie 23". It's actually better than this movie.
The flick is watchable, but don't expect much. Megan Fox kicks ass. All the haters can kick rocks....shes an icon. Just enjoy the simple little movie for what it is. An overdone AI psycho robot plot. Works to just sit back and relax. 5.2/10.

Largely a Ripoff (hate to be so unkind, but) of Hulu's "Humans". Good-looking female android is purchased by a father whose wife is in hospital. Predictably, the father has sex with the (exceptionally good-looking) Robot, blah blah. A decent flick on its own, but since it so closely parallels "Humans", I call it a Ripoff. BTW: "Humans" ran far deeper than this. "Humans" was a story about a nascent Android culture that had become Aware, and had to be dealt with by the human population...reminiscent of Isaac Asimov's "I, Robot". But if you like looking at Megan Fox and you're not familiar with Humans, go for it.
Did you know
- TriviaMegan Fox's character was renamed from Alice to Megan in Russian version to avoid resemblance to the virtual assistant called Alisa.
- GoofsIn Maggie's heart surgery scene, the SIM surgical staff have no mouths or hair, presumably to keep the environment sterile. However, they have nostrils and eyelashes, both of which are unnecessary for androids.
