The enormous potential was unfortunately buried under the lack of plot development in this film.

The whole androids tie-in, as well as their appearance and existence in general, does not work at all. They have no motives, we know nothing about them, so it is impossible to understand the level of threat posed by them.

That said, in the movie itself, the characters don't seem to be aware that the apocalypse is happening either. Most of the characters, including the supporting cast, do everything as casually as possible and look slightly annoyed rather than in constant danger.

Some major plot twists don't make sense at all, like the androids infiltrating the city. We were purposely shown a long scene of inspection aimed at avoiding such situations, and then it just happens.

Thus, in fact, we got a world of modernity in which androids, completely indistinguishable from humans, live in a way that has no effect on the ordinary life of humans. At the same time, our technology does not seem to have developed at all in any area other than the creation of high-tech robots, which at some point went crazy. At the same time, there is no coordination in terms of defense, it is not clear what is happening to the world around us, and there is no element of survival since food and water are plentiful. Everyone is just slowly going about their business.

I liked the teen pregnancy drama elements, the relationships, and the first part of the ending, which was soon completely undone by its second part. Chloe played the first part of the ending perfectly, then we saw her completely different as if nothing had happened, she just let go of the most important person in her life and went on about her business, it makes no sense.

I really wish Chloe had been given more opportunities to play in good movies, as she really shined here. Otherwise, the movie is too raw, which is very noticeable in a number of inconsistent scenes and overdubbed lines. Maybe they had to make some major changes in the plot at the last minute.

There is a lot to look at in the film, but literally, the central plot point is completely unexplored. The meaning of the title is also absolutely unclear to me. It is difficult to recommend this film.

Another one of those 'young adult' roles for Chloe Grace Moretz, who seems to be making cheesy B-movies a thing these days. MOTHER/ANDROID starts off with a good bang in the form of a surprise 'apocalypse' scene, but then quickly descends into tedium. I didn't like Moretz's character being pregnant, which just seems to add melodrama to the storyline, and her partner should have been bumped off early on. The rest is the usual gamut of dodgy CGI action, survival camps, oddly weak foes (they're no Terminators, that's for sure) and predictability.

Georgia (Chloë Grace Moretz) is concerned about her unexpected pregnancy. Mostly, she's concerned about her boyfriend Sam (Algee Smith). Then the robot apocalypse happens.

This is a Hulu film. I actually really like the first half of the movie. The film has reduced the very familiar post-apocalyptic film to a relationship film. With the introduction of Arthur, the film threatens to take a big swing and it does exactly that. I completely foresaw the twist but that's fine. The problem is the execution of the twist. It's highly unlikely for so many reasons. Firstly, there is no way that they could have gotten in without being found out. Secondly, one would think that the robots would have some EMP weapons or nukes themselves by that time. Thirdly, why not escape to Europe instead of Asia which is on the other side of the world? Better yet, why not travel to Seattle in order to escape to Korea? Finally, is the film trying to make a point about the recent border issue in America? If so, it does it in the most clunky way possible. Add that all together, the last act is a mess of false notes and it breaks an otherwise interesting take on the familiar.
