movie review - Mother/Android

twenty-eight years and a million words

This is a frustrating Sci-Fi/thriller flick that doesn't realize it's promise. It's set in a post-apocalyptic world in which The Machines Have Risen and it's now a Crapsack world. The heroine is pregnant and with her man she's trying to reach a purportedly safe location.
I'll summarize what happens in this as this: the subject matter is mis-handled. They put some weird ideals (or perhaps their opposite - rules?) before an emotionally resonant story.
Not recommended.
