The Pod Generation Storyline

Set in the very near future world where AI is all the rage and technology has trumped nature in nearly every aspect of life, The Pod Generation follows Rachel (Emilia Clarke) and Alvy (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a New York couple who are ready to start a family. As a rising tech company executive, Rachel lands a coveted spot at the Womb Center, which offers couples the opportunity to share pregnancy on a more equal footing by way of mobile, artificial wombs, or pods. Alvy, a botanist and devoted purist about the natural environment, has doubts, but his love for Rachel prompts him to take a leap of faith. And so, begins the wild ride on their tech-paved path to parenthood.

The Pod Generation Movie Reviews

Start’s off strong

Start’s off strong and intriguing with dark undertones….. around halfway through the film however, it just suddenly turns silly. The behaviour of the two leads becomes juvenile and slapstick and it goes from alluding to being more of a thriller into a light hearted comedy. It also slows pace massively and the second half is just padded out with nothing really interesting happening and just more of a romance story.

This would have been better suited to an hour long short show, and it ending with a sinister tone. The two leads act well with what they are given. The dreamlike sequences were also overused massively and irrelevant to the story.

I liked the premise of the film and the visuals so it had that going for it. It got the sci-fi aesthetic right at least.

A Womb with a View…

In this world where mother nature is transplanted – transferred, replaced, displaced, where surrogates are grafted, you have a partner who’s organic, whose whole life is quite botanic, but you take him to a place, where dreams are shafted. Incubation is the option you have chosen, allows you to pursue your work, without demotion, devolution is the way, an evolving science day, although at first, you may just lack, vital devotion. As for concerns, a trip to the all seeing eye – will resolve anxiety and clarify, that you must do as you are told, you must remain part of the fold, this is the way the human race will multiply.

Not as good as it could have been.

Felt like an Black Mirror episode in full lenght

This movie felt like an episode from the Black Mirror series, in full lenght. Setup in a distant future where nature becomes a commodity, this movie shows an opposing couple aiming to bear a child. With the so many complications of having one in a women (like career, body figure or mood swings) she decided to bear a child via pod while the man with an opposing belief wants to do it naturally. Giving in the situation, the man decided to embrace the idea but as the months go near birth complications on how it would be born arrises.

All in all it was a good movie seeing the writers vision on how life would look like if technology becomes the center of it all.
