The enormous potential was unfortunately buried under the lack of plot development in this film.
The whole androids tie-in, as well as their appearance and existence in general, does not work at all. They have no motives, we know nothing about them, so it is impossible to understand the level of threat posed by them.
That said, in the movie itself, the characters don't seem to be aware that the apocalypse is happening either. Most of the characters, including the supporting cast, do everything as casually as possible and look slightly annoyed rather than in constant danger.
Some major plot twists don't make sense at all, like the androids infiltrating the city. We were purposely shown a long scene of inspection aimed at avoiding such situations, and then it just happens.
Thus, in fact, we got a world of modernity in which androids, completely indistinguishable from humans, live in a way that has no effect on the ordinary life of humans. At the same time, our technology does not seem to have developed at all in any area other than the creation of high-tech robots, which at some point went crazy. At the same time, there is no coordination in terms of defense, it is not clear what is happening to the world around us, and there is no element of survival since food and water are plentiful. Everyone is just slowly going about their business.
I liked the teen pregnancy drama elements, the relationships, and the first part of the ending, which was soon completely undone by its second part. Chloe played the first part of the ending perfectly, then we saw her completely different as if nothing had happened, she just let go of the most important person in her life and went on about her business, it makes no sense.
I really wish Chloe had been given more opportunities to play in good movies, as she really shined here. Otherwise, the movie is too raw, which is very noticeable in a number of inconsistent scenes and overdubbed lines. Maybe they had to make some major changes in the plot at the last minute.
There is a lot to look at in the film, but literally, the central plot point is completely unexplored. The meaning of the title is also absolutely unclear to me. It is difficult to recommend this film.
