The Pod Generation

"The Pod Genetation" is a sci fi movie that critisizes the evolution of AI and how that can overtake even nature.

The story has a smooth start and it is obvious from the begining that something is off. The big eyes of the AI assistants, the wierd Pod company, the creepy 'psychologist', even the office environment along with the AI home assistant who was trying to be helpful but ended up dictating her owners' lives, everything lean in to a more horror genre, which the movie never lived up to. Rather, the story took a turn towards the more optimistic side, opting for a message where the human relationships and nature prevails. And, honestly, that was a nice touch.

However, the story did get stuffy towards the ending and there were some boring scenes as well. In addition, the humour was subtle and, sometimes, difficult to detect.

Finally, the performances were enjoyable.
