The story is not uninteresting but most of it doesn't make any sense, does it? It's also very politically loaded and finds its exact analysis in Curtis' 'the Century of Self'.

Nature or nurture? Eugenics and human evolution? The dangers of AI directives? Mother-daughter bond? Although the film flirts with some of those subjects, there’s a clear lack of aim and they are never fully explored. The film’s shallowness reflects on the pacing and a certain hesitation to move the plot onwards. All culminates in a weird conclusion that is incapable of wrapping all the subjects with which the film deals. It begins as a promising sci-fi, but never truly delivers.

It starts out with a nice premise and develops into a great little guessing game. It's pretty simple and economic, but it's also competent and generally well-executed.

Spoiler: parable about a computationalist utilitarian quasi-eugenics in which apocalypse and reproductive technology form the background conditions for a species-restart, with AI as the god (between Kant and Bentham) who creates the world and then withdraws. Successfully manoeuvres the viewer through various phases of trust and uncertainty, ending up more interesting at the end than it seemed in the beginning, but filmed in that anonymous style that Netflix threatens to render ubiquitous.

This succeeds for me because it was an unexpectedly well made and constructed movie. While it might not be entirely original, it still plays the "how much can we trust A.I." angle really well. So much so that they manage to keep the mystery throughout the film and flips it on its head to leave you with something to think about, long after the film has ended. It has its flaws, but it certainly deserves a look.

First; let's talk about the twist. I thought it would be totally different before, understanding how it is disappointed me but it's good but real twist is so much better. There's no such perfect surprises but it's already efficient that way. Big applause to Rose Byrne's voice, I never thought her voice would fit as a robot. Throughout the movie, I questioned myself over and over again. As "mother" said; there's no wrong answers.

I Am Mother is a superbly produced, superbly acted, well-written and suspenseful movie which disappoints by not actually making much sense. But I did enjoy most of it, so I guess I'll have to recommend it.

The film looked and was mainly the usual sci-fi flick with a mechanical robot with a human being. The first half was almost boring. But the second half gave a needed push and the very last moments changed everything. Scenes were totally Clara Rugaard's playground. She was the salt of the story. And the ending crowned well written plot nicely.

Bütçesi çok büyük olmadığı belli olan bir filme göre özellikle sanat yönetimi inanılmaz başarılı. Senaryo ve karakter motivasyonları maalesef standart seviyede ancak özellikle bir ilk film için gayet iyi bir yapım.

A fairly middle-of-the-road take on the "sentient AI taking over world" theme that, at times, swerves slightly out of the KILLALLHUMANS lane. That the motives driving our new robot overlords are based in their original directive--value human life above all else--was bleak, if not expected. The subtle commentary on religion and what it ultimately provides in a robot apocascape was also welcome. Damn... Did I write a normal review? Well, we can't have that. Fart. Balls. Twatmuncher. Okay. Better.

An interesting SciFi movie thriller that I would prefer had more content. Still it's fairly interesting and what they created in a modest budget is really impressive. A little more human drama and philosophical conundrums would have made it excellent, but there is very little of that.

I Am Mother succeeds solely on its final act, which while flawed manages to deliver on the sci-fi premise with a twist that, while not unpredictable, is believable given what the movie presents. The film looks great; with stark landscape shots, the futuristically lit bunker and colour pallet mediated by the costumes. Hawker's movement as Mother is great, while Byrne's voice-work is good, though non-conventional as it's unprocessed and human-like. Swank was okay, but Rugaard did a great job.
