I Am Mother (2019)

The human race has become extinct but has given itself another chance by creating and activating a storage facility full of embryos that will become children raised by specialized droids. Such a child is the main character, the first and temporarily the only one of her kind, who is raised and educated by Mother, a robot with artificial intelligence dedicated to raising children by the book.

A Sci-Fi movie following the traditional recipe (a slow and lengthy exposition, convincing technology, efficient people versus imperfect people, philosophical themes as old as life itself regarding existence by merit). Some elements remind me of Terminator and Skynet but with surprising motivations and intentions, which can make the viewer doubt their own ideas about good and bad.

Directed by: Grant Sputore
With: Rose Byrne, Hilary Swank, Clara Rugaard

Rating: 9/10
