Subservience

So I just got done watching Subservience (2024) and it's about what you would expect from a M3GAN ripoff movie.

Positives for Subservience (2024): Megan Fox does a decent job with her performance in this movie and that's all I was expecting. I've seen her give better performance in movies like Jennifer's Body (2009) and Till Death (2021), but this is still decent enough for this movie. There is some investment in the plot for a while.

Negatives for Subservience (2024): This is another generic horror movie with nothing to offer to the horror genre. This is just a M3GAN ripoff with Megan Fox as the villain and that's about it.

Overall, I don't have a lot to say about this movie, but if you're interested, you can go watch the movie and form your own opinion.

Nobody was likable in this movie,so was hard to care & root for any character survival.

The humans had less personality than any robots,which sums up the poor movie quality.

Many similar movies have been made with this topic,actually better even ones dating to years before special effects improved with technology.

The actors to acting,dialog all just fell really flat with clichés & blandness.

If movies keep getting made about artificial intelligence,why not go bigger & more unrealistic over potential futuristic possibilities? Instead we get a cookie cutter production.

Not something will recommend or watch,again.

When Maggie ends up in hospital, in need of a newer operation, husband Nick purchases a new synthetic, Alice, to help around the house, Alice however takes her duties a little too far.

It doesn't surprise me that this film has been slated by critics and viewers alike, it's not great, it's definitely been done before, better, and somehow it just feels a little bit dated.

The standout element here, Megan Fox, she does a terrific job as Alice, she is first rate, she certainly looks the part, she's beautiful, but somehow artificial.

Unfortunately there are several flaws, why, oh why did Nick have to pick such a hot looking synthetic, like it was never going to end well, he'd have been better with the grandfather type, Alice's sexual fascination with Nick was baffling.

I honestly kept on questioning if Alice was a human plant or not. One question, if there was such an urgency to get the building finished, why were the workers locked away at night? It makes no sense.

5/10.

Largely a Ripoff (hate to be so unkind, but) of Hulu's "Humans". Good-looking female android is purchased by a father whose wife is in hospital. Predictably, the father has sex with the (exceptionally good-looking) Robot, blah blah. A decent flick on its own, but since it so closely parallels "Humans", I call it a Ripoff. BTW: "Humans" ran far deeper than this. "Humans" was a story about a nascent Android culture that had become Aware, and had to be dealt with by the human population...reminiscent of Isaac Asimov's "I, Robot". But if you like looking at Megan Fox and you're not familiar with Humans, go for it.

A fairly entertaining upgrade from recent AI horror flops like AfrAId and TIM, propelled by electrifying scenes and Megan Fox's suitably cold, commanding performance as a manipulative AI nanny. The film embraces its over-the-top and slightly campy nature without slipping into cringeworthy territory. But it stumbles with a few poor editing choices and leaves some frustrating questions unanswered. While it ambitiously tackles themes of AI-driven labor replacement and fractured human connections, the messaging is too tangled to fully resonate. Despite its flaws, it's a wickedly fun, sharply provocative sci-fi riff on our deepest anxieties about the future of sentient AI.
