Maid Droid

Dear readers!

You can always trust my 100% honest reviews.

I do not understand IMDB 10-point rating scale. My rating is like this: -- 1 - WATCH & WATCH AGAIN! (Movie is watchable & can be watched again in the future.) -- 2 - WATCH! (Movie is watchable & entertaining.) -- 3 - DO NOT WATCH! (Movie is NOT watchable.) --

VERDICT : The movie MAID DROID 2023 is rated : WATCH & WATCH AGAIN!

-------------------- Remarks: Man separated from girlfriend orders a sexy robot maid who falls in love with him and things take a sinister turn.

Low budget, minimalistic production, no professional cinematography or lighting, but sound and music are good. No outdoor scenes, fixed cast, many underwear and topless scenes, spanking, sex.

The movie keeps you watching. Its major positive point is that you can take a glimpse at how wonderful it would be if you had a submissive wife or friend who cooks, cleans, offers intimacy and fun and sex, and never nags. These things cannot be found in movies nowadays.

It can be watched again in the future whenever you forget how it feels to live such a wonderful life.

Thank you for your attention.

When I sat down to watch the 2023 sci-fi thriller "Maid Droid", from writer and director Rich Mallery, I had never actually heard about the movie. But the movie's synopsis sounded interesting enough. And with it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to give the movie a chance.

I made it 49 minutes through the 91 minute runtime. Then I just had to give up out of sheer and utter boredom. The storyline was insanely slow paced and it felt more like writer and director Rich Mallery was more focused on showing nudity and pseudo-sex scenes rather than focusing on upkeeping the narrative. And the fact that nothing interesting happened in the 49 minutes that I endure, well that just caused me to give up on the ordeal. Trust me when I say that I am never bothering returning to attempt to watch the rest of the movie, because it was simply not worth the effort.

The acting performances in the movie were wooden and rigid. Now, I have seen worse acting performances in other movies, and while the actors and actresses in the movie weren't per se poor performers, then the performances were just devoid of life, commitment, heart and spirit. And that made for a rather bland and mundane viewing experience. Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with anyone on the cast list here. Nor were I inspired to venture out and tracking down other movies with the people on the cast list.

"Maid Droid" was a cluttered attempt of a movie, where there was too much focus on nudity and softcore sex scenes. And that is not really what I sit down to watch when I opt to watch a movie.

The movie is listed as a sci-fi thriller, well there wasn't much of any actual thrills to be seen on the screen; at least not in the 49 minutes of absolute boredom that I suffered through.

My rating of writer and director Rich Mallery's 2023 sci-fi thriller "Maid Droid" lands on a two out of ten stars.

The storyline of this film seemed basic yet intriguing based on the directions surrounding the maid droid. What was ultimately the finished product was somewhat of a slower paced anti-climatic and very predictable A. I/droid sci-fi film with with its expected explicit scenes.

After viewing other similar 2023 release AIMEE: The Visitor, directed by Charles Band (also featured Faith West), expected a little more from this film. Maid Droid is watchable but drags on, unlike AIMEE.

The way the film opens is quite a foreshadowing of what we should expect for our lead in the end. As watching and once we are introduced to our maid Mako (Faith West), we know she isn't who she's made out to be and that in the end, the lead male isn't going to survivor. It was only a matter of time. We are simply watching for the journey to see how it happens.

Overall the story started relatively intriguing then slowed down and became repetitive and dull with a lot of dialogue. Ultimately the ending wasn't as suspenseful or thrilling as it should have been. Was halfway expecting a twist but there wasn't any. Very generic ending.

Entertaining in its own right for a more softcore take on the sentient synthetic human.. i dig these, but this is nothing like Humans or AI or something deep rooted in moral dilemma concerning artificial self awareness. It's a straight to business affair, as in: Bring in the sex bot and get to cleaning the house until I feel like knocking boots.. and then make me a sandwich. At least it's honest with itself. In this case the bot doesnt act artificial at all, and carries around like a programmed human (make-up, acting issue), but I was still interested to see it's obvious ending play out. The tantalizing beauty playing the bot doesn't hurt anything either. If you don't mind cheap, unconvincing, simplistic, and absolutely no technical merit or plausibility in its premise, then give it a whirl.

Serve to come? Well no pun intended either way. Also while there are erotic elements in this (and lots of nudity, mainly our two female characters), this is more at home in the horror genre. And if you wonder how this can happen ... well I doubt anyone will doubt or question much.

On the other hand and no offense, but acting wise ... do not expect much here. The script is not giving the people involved too much to work with. And while you may wonder how and where the maid (from Hell?) came from ... or how they got ... maid (I couldn't resist - which is what he said - main character when he saw her) ... well nothing much will be answered ... not even the price tag.

So mysteries all around. I do wonder if the sequel (which is actually a prequel) answers any questions ... it may be even worse (I think I gave this an extra point for the very lovely and beautiful main actress ... sorry not sorry)
