Maid Droid Origins

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 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.

Well, I did find the 2023 movie "Maid Droid" as a rather abysmal movie, so I wasn't really harboring much of any grand expectations to this 2024 movie titled "Maid Droid Origins". So why watch it you might ask? Well, simply and solely because it was a movie that I hadn't already seen. And thus, I gave the movie a chance.

And let's just be honest here, "Maid Droid Origins" was as brutally pointless as the previous movie. In fact, this sequel was nothing more than an excuse for writer and director Rich Mallery, whom also wrote and directed the 2023 "Maid Droid" movie, to bring some fetishes to the screen, such as a woman dressed up in a caricature maid costume and some BDSM kinks. It hardly constituted proper entertainment. But hey, if you enjoyed the dumpster fire that was "Maid Droid", you will also enjoy this dumpster fire follow-up.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie. Some of the acting performances were fair, while others were wooden and rigid. But then again, in all honesty, the actors and actresses didn't really have much of anything solid to work with in terms of script, contents of storyline, dialogue, character gallery, etc.

This is definitely not a movie that I found interesting or entertaining. And it is not something I would recommend you to sit down and watch, and thus waste 96 minutes of your life on. Some of us suffered through this, so you don't have to; you're very welcome.

My rating of writer and director Rich Mallery's 2024 movie "Maid Droid Origins" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.

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.

After Eve, a beautiful android, murders one of her clients, she runs away from the evil Syndell corporation and hides out at the home of Timothy, the man who created her. As the two try to uncover what's wrong with Eve's programming, a romance develops, much to the dismay of Timothy's wife Belle, who refuses to be replaced without a fight.

Does anyone remember Tommy Wiseau's The Room? One of the most laughed at, ridiculed films of all time. If Tommy was to watch Maid Droid Origins, he'd think his movie was 10 times better. That's how bad this is. The second the film starts you can see that the film hasn't been shot properly, the colour is washed out. The score is preposterous, the acting is woefully bad, I've honestly seen better in a year 1 school nativity play. The dialogue is stilted and as if written by a year 2 student. They've not used a single light in an scene. There really isn't any saving grace for this film. Except, it's one of those that can be watched at frat parties and laughed at as it's so ludicrous. I can't believe anyone in the world thought this was OK to release. I gave it a 1 because I can't rate zero.
