Maid Droid Origins

I just couldn't stop watching.

I never expected to watch this one for more than a few minutes. A low budget movie about a sexy robot? Its been done many times so hilariously bad , I figured this was just more of the same. Our leading lady doesn't just have the face of a goddess , she does a good job of playing a sexy naive robot. Sure the low budget shows throughout this movie. But for the most part , our leads read their lines well. The plot has a fun little harmless kink to it and imo the ending fit the movie perfectly.

Maybe Its just me but I couldn't stop watching Katie Kay. She did a good job being the sexy android.

If you are in the mood to watch a beautiful woman and have a few laughs try this one out.

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!

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.

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.

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.
