Mother/Android

Mother/Android (2021) is a sci-fi thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Chloë Grace Moretz plays a pregnant woman running across a country torn apart by a sudden war with artificial intelligence.

It starts on Christmas Eve, when household androids everywhere turn on the people who built them. Georgia and her boyfriend Sam, played by Algee Smith, are weeks away from their first child. To reach a refugee ship, they have to cross No Man's Land, the heart of the machine uprising. The clock is the pregnancy itself. Drones sweep the forests, and the humans they meet are no safer than the robots. First-time director Mattson Tomlin, who wrote Matt Reeves' The Batman, keeps the stakes small and personal: not saving the world, just giving birth and getting out alive.

This is survival horror stripped down to one couple, where the apocalypse is really a backdrop for a story about motherhood and sacrifice. It skips blockbuster bombast and ends on a gut-punch choice that lingers. Stream Mother/Android (2021) online on iFILM.
