Mother/Android Reviews
Though it has a strong sense of urgency and a backstory worth rooting for, Mother/Android is a bland Netflix Sci-Fi flick that takes influence from many before it yet doesn't have enough flair of its own.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 25, 2023
There’s a sense of irony in the fact that this story is about the humanity of emotional connections distinguishing us from the cold callousness of machines.
| Original Score: C | Sep 22, 2022
A stale and spineless post-apocalyptic thriller.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 25, 2022
MotherAndroid isn't the sci-fi movie you think it's going to be, or even the movie it probably wants to be, but it's nonetheless a solid first-time feature from from writerdirector Mattson Tomlin.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 28, 2022
For a property to truly connect with its audience, things still have to make sense. They don't always in this movie.

Low budget sci-fi flick Mother/Android, written and directed by Mattson Tomlin, is no masterpiece but it's a step in the right direction.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 21, 2022
Mother/Android feels like the love child of Children of Men, The Terminator and A Quiet Place and, as such, commits the biggest sins of speculative fiction-it's short on originality and long on derivative ideas.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 13, 2022
Though Moretz does everything in her power to lend some credibility to this bloated drama, the lack of thought behind the post-apocalyptic pregnancy makes for a dull viewing experience.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 13, 2022
Develops in a very unsatisfactory way. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 10, 2022
Chloë Grace Moretz's great performance elevates the narrative. All of this manages to stay afloat thanks to her. [Full Review in Spanish]

Seemingly based in the premise that human emotion is at the heart of all compelling sci-fi, this film misfires a bit by focusing too heavily on the drama of a pregnant couple in an apocalyptic world.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 5, 2022
The film deflates between its narrative flatness, lack of creativity and a supposedly emotional resolution that seems to be inserted with forceps. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 3, 2022
In the end, Mother/Androidis a dramatic triumph that uses cosmic horror alchemy to get some serious expressionism across. Well worth the trip into the dark woods.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Jan 2, 2022
The pic failed to impress, but I take my hat off to Chloë Grace Moretz for giving it her all over this hokum.
| Original Score: C | Dec 28, 2021
Despite a solid message and compelling performances from its leads, Mother/Android fails to flesh out enough details to make for a coherent storyline.
| Dec 23, 2021
Even though its personal backstory is touching, this weird apocalyptic survival thriller lacks thrills and even elicits unexpected laughter at what are supposed to be its most poignant moments.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Dec 21, 2021
Like its confusing title, Mother/Android never really figures out what it wants to say.
| Original Score: 6.0/10 | Dec 21, 2021
It starts just before a Yuletide party. And, maybe as an unfortunate portent of things to come -- in a restroom!
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 19, 2021
Mother/Android has some very interesting ideas, but cannot balance its themes while simultaneously maintaining interest in its leading characters.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Dec 19, 2021
Whenever you deal with post-apocalyptic movies... they tend to be about a bunch of dirty humans in the woods trying to find their way around.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 18, 2021
