Subservience
Reviews

"Subservience," directed by S.K. Dale, is a commendable entry in the Sci-Fi thriller genre. Megan Fox's portrayal of an android is fabulous, bringing a captivating blend of stoicism and subtle emotion to her role. While the plot may come across as somewhat predictable and the story lacks a bit of depth, the film still manages to deliver an engaging experience. The emotional disconnect between the other actors and the audience is palpable, making it difficult to fully invest in their characters. Interestingly, this detachment actually works in favor of the narrative, leading viewers to root for the android. Although the movie doesn't break new ground, it's a solid watch for fans of futuristic themes and the ever-evolving concept of artificial intelligence.

It's a little less than what I hoped for. In the TV show (HUMANS) the lead female android was way better and more of an A.I than Meagan. Also I didn't feel the connection between Alice and Nick cos Alice was the one who came in too strong for Nick. Making her like a desperate side chick or "obsession"

The movie has an interesting premise, situated in a near-term future where AI androids got so competent that they are pervasive and displaced pretty much all human work force. While the world-building is interesting and primarily focus on the lives in a family, where the husband inadvertently caused his domestic robot to unbalance her goals towards making him "calmer" and "happier" over everything else, it also brings deeper elements for a reflexion on the effects in the work force and society once robots start replacing humans in work activities. However, the premise for a blockbuster could not compensate a weak screenplay, at first excessively slow, and in the later parts of the movie unrealistic. Also, excepted a few actors doing a good job as bots (including Megan Fox), the acting from the human characters is overall awful, especially Michele Morrone's. The bad acting and slow plot makes it hard to immerse in the movie and it feels longer than it really is.

Well, that's 1 hour and 45 minutes I'll never get back. Right of the bat, this was an obvious rippoff from the TV show "HUMANS" with Gemma Chan. But where "HUMANS" was somewhat plausible, this was totally not. The overall acting was mediocre at best. Behaviors and reactions are too often cringy, unconvincing or eyerolling predictable. It's rare for me to ffwd scenes during a movie while watching, but I did here and there. I was hopeful that the mother Maggie would be killed off at some point (I've hated madeline zima ever since Californication), but alas. Alice (megan fox) was nice to look at. But totally unconvincing as an android. She'd make an excellent emotionless psychopath, though. The movie pulls out all the classic old tropes, which not only made it all very predictable, but gave me multiple feelings that I've seen that scene somewhere else before. Thumbs down for the movie in general, but thumbs up for Megan Fox trying to be everyone's favorite fantasy sexbot.

Interesting concept, though very similar to I, Robot. The concept was executed, but left alot to be desired. There was no real chemistry between the husband and the wife in the movie and the initial setup lacked any real stakes. The movie is dying for a sequel that should capitalize on the last 20 minutes, but given the first hour, no way it gets green lit. I was hoping for something a little more developed, but given Megan Fox’s celebrity status (not an A or B lister), I should’ve lowered my expectations. Shame on me for not adjusting and shame on the film makers for not making this more interesting.
