Hate to be 'that guy', but how the hell....


....does this movie only have a 6.7 on IMDB?? It's a solid thought-provoking sci-fi film with a good concept and barely any flaws. Should be at least a 7.5, so what happened?

reply

What happened is that the I am mother film story is based on a Perth 2006 storyboard painting story called Mother Creation created by the true author Giuliano Del Borrello which is also from Perth like the Perth Director Grant Sputore of the film I Am Mother.

Coz it's dumb, it's a dumb movie

I gave it 5/10 myself

The true author of that story that the movie I Am Mother is based on was excluded. The movie would have been super if they didnt go behind the autors back and produce the movie without his concent. I'm sure you would think diffrently.

People require splosions and lots of mindless CGI these days, ie Spiderman.

It's missing the true author,

Mainstream audiences hate "downbeat" endings i.e. Mother winning, the reveal that the young heroine was manipulated all along, and the robot murdering Swank's character on the beach.

Personally, I thought this film was brilliant (and the only good Netflix Original science-fiction movie, as far as I'm aware).
