A Hulu co-production,and streaming on Hulu,to be streaming on Netflix worldwide come January,Mother / Android,is a Sci-Fi movie which ponders on the idea of android take over.

 

The movie begins at a Christmas party,as Georgia finds out she's pregnant ,and she's not sure she wants to keep the baby.

Just then, the phones crash and the androids which are in all the households,serving people,turn against the owners,killing them.

 

Nine months later,Georgia and Sam are in a forest,in a tent,hiding from the androids which are killing humans. They try to reach Boston,as they hope to sail to Korea,as they heard they take families.

They stumble upon a military base,but they don't last long there,as they are kicked out due to one of the soldier's behavior.

 

I personally think the movie had potential,but it was poorly written. I would have loved to have seen the android uprising,but this movie is just like Twilight,whenever something major is about to happen,we skip,and we're in the future,after it happened. It happens like that with the android uprising,with the fight between Sam and the annoying soldier...and so on.

 

The acting is fine,the visual effects are good..but..it lacks in story,because we're being told not shown.

 

Rating : Could have been a contender !
