Maid Droid Origins

The plot made no sense and was all over the place it felt like it was being written while shooting. Its unfortunate because the new actress for the droid is quite good at acting but wasted on a script like this.

Its like the director put no effort in and just inserted whatever weird fetish he felt like filming and based the plot around that. Its not even sexy I dont know what this film was going for.

They should have just made a sequel the first one, it was actually decent and had more plot with going forward.

The lighting and color grading is horrible and everything is overly dark.

The first movie was like bad in a good way but this is just bad bad, not worth watching very boring, probably the worst film from rich mallery.

This is another lower budget independent film which really did not need a sequel. It is very much just a sequel in name, as there are connections to the original. The original film wasn't great but it had a decent enough concept and a compelling performance by the lead Android. Now this follow up feels just as lower budget, maybe a little better but the story is not as intriguing and more confusing. The Android woman in this film isn't as good as the one served in the original but she's decent enough.

For the most part, everything is relatively bland and moves at a slow pace. There is somewhat of an unexpected twist near the end which makes things a little more interesting. It elevates the film slightly but overall it's not that great. The acting is also very amateurish and not convincing, both by the lead man and his wife.

The one good note I want to leave is for the sound department (Alexander Givens-Baran), specially during the turntable scene, it was so good it didn't even seem like it was from this movie. And to Katie Kay (Eve), playing an android is not easy, specially without special effects.

As for the rest of the movie...

The plot was confusing and bad put together, a lot of scenes also didn't seem to add anything to the story or to the characters. I really don't get what was the idea Rich Mallery had for this. The dialogs were also unnatural while trying to give them some deeper meaning or some reflection but ended up just sounding weird.

They could also have putted more work in the editing, the sliding transitions look strange, but that could be a budget limitation.

The 4 stars are for the 10 star ladies, the rest of the movie is not so good. There is some partial nudity, but no sex scenes. There is a cat fight though at one point, and it was hilarious, but I suppose all cat fights are.

The story is about an android woman and her creator and his wife. The plot does move along and it is cohesive at least, it's more of a relationship drama.

There are basically no special effect. It all happens in 2 rooms in his house, and some weird place where the android woman goes talk to her android goddess or something. So we are talking super low budget.

The acting is digestible I suppose, no overacting which might have made this more comedic, instead they try their best with what they are given.

Having not seen the original, I did not know what to expect with this sequel. However, boy, was I surprised! First off, Katie Kay is an enchanting beauty who is totally believable as Eve, the prototype android maid (with benefits). Katie's heartfelt portrayal is really quite impressive!! It's not easy to convey the reserved emotions of a non-human entity, yet sometimes display more sensitivity than the human characters you play opposite. The rest of the cast offers very compelling performances with a wide range of intensity and intrigue. The dynamics of the married couple are already on thin ice, so wait until the droid Eve is added into the picture for fireworks to really explode! Kudos to writer/director Rich Mallery for putting together this timely, thought-provoking, and thoroughly fun and sexy movie. I really enjoyed it!
