the robot runs like tom cruise

Dakota Johnson is mother but go off I guess

"I Am Mother."

"And I, am.... Iron Man."

56/100

A.V. Club review. Got way out ahead of this, because I'm the sort of dork who'll pause a movie at home in order to perform calculations. And I actually think it would have been more effective had it worked a bit less hard to spring surprises. There are some heady ideas here, but they arrive too late to be developed or explored.

7/10

I really liked the story here, as it felt like an original take on something we’ve seen before in some terrific sci-fi works.  Apocalyptic stories are all similar in the dystopian future but it’s how the story is told that separates them. This one runs as a mystery for a large portion, but becomes a little obvious towards the end.

Clara Rugaard is going to be someone to watch out for. I loved her performance as Daughter.  Hilary Swank was good, but mostly just there to push the story. Rose Byrne’s VO as mother was terrific. It’s kind of comforting and yet also haunting.  It makes the film in my opinion.

Overall a very solid film that is an easy recommend in Netflix for any sci-fi fan especially.

Fun Ridley Scott homage

Super simple but really good. Really enjoyed this a lot.

Full disclosure. I am not the biggest sci fi fan.
It's decent. Always engaging just honestly I didn't find it's characters interesting. On the technical side it's stunning with great effects and cinematography and good performances. Just for me it didn't build anywhere that interesting and it's twists were pretty predictable.
Worth a watch but I'll forget about it in a day.

So the concept was cool but the actual execution was kinda sloppy. The film gets really boring an hour to the end when the plot just seems to wind and wind to an ok end. The beginning and middle was solid though. The way daughter’s realisation of what the world is was portrayed was really compelling and acted well.

Great movies,,i am not expected at the first that her mother was a robot. But it’s interesting. Just need more deep a little bit.

A pretty decent sci-fi flick.

To some degree reminded me of 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016).

It sort of dips in the last act. But all the buildup, tech-porn and spot on performance by Clara Rugaard makes this well worth checking out.

A decent first film from writer, director and producer Grant Sputore who got Rose Byrne and Hillary Swank to buy into his vision enough to take a chance on him. This sci fi film proudly wears its influences on its sleeve. Executing an effective cinematic experience, I Am Mother’s fatal flaw is in the fact that the clever twists lack substance when all is says and done. A decent first effort and reason to see what Sputore has up his sleeve for round two.

this is one of those movies where you discuss all your thoughts and observations afterwards for like a good ten minutes with the people you watched it with and its real nice. The plot was easy to guess but thats just me, my friend didn't see it coming. Pretty good as far as netflix films go.
