I Am Mother

Left to right: Stupid bitch #2, robot mom, Stupid bitch #1 who is the daughter of the robot
Short summary of the movie: A girl raised by a robot mom meets a stranger for the first time, entrusts that stranger and battles against the mom to escape. The robot mom was designed to repopulate the earth.

I'm not doing some sort of review that explains the whole premise and plot etc, I'm just voicing my opinion. For this, I might as well add that there might be spoilers.


It had potential. Everything leading up to the “climax” was amazing. But good graphics does not a good movie make. In simpler terms, just because the movie LOOKS GOOD, doesn’t mean you can bullshit the plot to such a shitty extent that the great CG effects can mask. It was not masked.

In the beginning, I liked the whole robot mother idea. It was original in ways that it didn’t give the robot an automated voice, and the movie did the robot justice in the beginning stages. I grew fond of the relationship between the mother and daughter and it SEEMED that trust was strong and that they were a unit. Thinking realistically, thinking sensibly, one would assume that the daughter would not live without the mother given that this robot had raised her all her life to the adult age that she was – or so it had seemed. (her age wasn’t confirmed in the movie as far as I’ve watched it) and I thought about watching it again, one more time, for the sake of this little rant. But I refused. I didn’t want to waste my time knowing this time around that I’d end up disappointed.

And it’s true, it’s quite a disappointment. Knowing that she betrayed her mother for some random human that didn’t benefit her, in the end, was DISAPPOINTING. The LEAST they could do was make the “outside” into what the woman (stupid bitch #2) said it was, or have other humans around. It just seemed like the whole fight to get out of the safe space she was in was pointless and it had me siding with the robots even more. The entire movie was just a daughter betraying her robot mother’s “trust” and trusting some stranger who disappointed her in the end. Why did you include so much fighting then for such a disappointing ending? Don’t get me wrong, I love tragedies, but I don’t love pointless stories. What a waste.

Stupid bitch #2. I really hated her and her character. It just seemed like a whole lot of bullshit and mistrust and manipulation and this was supposed to look dependable for the daughter to trust. Her character had no depth, just constant hostility. 
So the daughter finds out the robots have been eliminating humans that didn’t reach the mark in the potential for living (as in they weren’t smart enough, not ethically moral or other factors that they didn’t master) and this made her angry. I couldn’t comprehend it. If the little shit knew what mankind was up to right now, destroying the earth for our selfish reasons, then she would’ve let the robot carry on creating the humans that would’ve created a better place. This daughter gave her mother so much piss and it’s annoying because it’s just a robot doing what she’s programmed to do.

I was annoyed that they drew the climax by her shooting her mother. Why? How did this benefit her? How? I’m really curious to know. This robot won’t kill her and it was just making the right humans walk on earth so that the earth won't ruin again so I was just really, really flabbergasted. 

What a disappointing movie. -1/10.

Short summary of the movie: Two guys decide to go to Police University to become policeman, develop a tight friendship and get involved in a trafficking case that they are adamant to solve.   I'm not doing any sort of review that explains the whole premise and plot etc, I'm just voicing my opinions. For this, I might as well add that  there might be spoilers. This movie may be one of the best comedies I've ever seen. The chemistry between the two characters really made the movie gold. I didn't expect the humor in here as well as the reality of certain concepts. This can be watched alone or with family and everyone would be having a great time.  These two were so entertaining to watch, though they're damn cute as well The developing, comical and strong bond between the two characters are extremely hilarious and heart-warming. I really enjoyed this even though there is a dark matter involved in the movie. I don't want to spoil too much however I wil...

Birdwing - Rafe Martin

Short summary of the book: A prince cursed with a swan wing escapes his own kingdom and runs away after his father wants his wing cut.   I'm not doing any sort of review that explains the whole premise and plot etc, I'm just voicing my opinions. For this, I might as well add that  there might be spoilers. This book was an awful drag. I could not believe a journey would cover so much of a book.  However I have enjoyed some parts of it, such as: The Horse . I think the author really thought of the movie Shrek when writing about the horse. (The horse's name was Horse , do not be mistaken) Horse completely reminded me of Donkey , just a bit more sophisticated, but he humored me well.  The best friends as well. I think the betrayal just made a good turn in the book. I liked it, it made me gasp and it paid for the drag of a story. His friend that he fell in love with, Skye, was already in a secret relationship with his close friend Stephen. Now isn't th...

A Million Little Pieces - James Frey

Short summary of the book: An extreme drug addict spends his time in a rehab center and slowly heals. I'm not doing any sort of review that explains the whole premise and plot etc, I'm just voicing my opinions. For this, I might as well add that  there might be spoilers. Finally , I've finished the book.  This is not to say in the least that it was bad; however if your story's setting is only one place - there's only so much you can tell.  The setting is a Rehabilitation Center for the addicted. James being one of them.  James - for me - was peculiar. What I'm trying to say is that I could never have guessed his age was 22. It sounded like years of addiction (which it was) but rustier. I've researched that the book is over-exaggerated for dramatic effect but overall it was a biography of some sort. I predicted false information from all the fights he initiated. The book read as a mid-thirties man. Regardless there were beautiful parts of the boo...
