Georgia and her boyfriend Sam go on a treacherous journey to escape their country, which is caught in an unexpected war with artificial intelligence. Days away from the arrival of their first child, the couple must face No Man’s Land—a stronghold of the android uprising—in hopes of reaching safety before giving birth.
Mother/Android treads familiar dystopian AI-uprising territory without adding much to the genre. The pregnancy-on-the-run premise has emotional potential but the script underdelivers, with thin world-building and predictable story beats. Chloë Grace Moretz gives a committed performance that elevates the material slightly, and the film has some competent visual atmosphere, but the overall execution feels underdeveloped. The ending leans into bleakness but lacks the resonance needed to make it truly impactful, feeling more like an abrupt conclusion than a meaningful payoff.
