Newly released on Netflix, ‘Subservience’ (2024) is a sci-fi thriller starring Megan Fox in the lead role of AI assistant Alice.
When his wife becomes sick, a struggling father buys a lifelike AI android to help with the housework. Things take a turn when Alice becomes self-aware and craves the affection of her new owner.
Stories like this are built from the same blueprint and more often than not, end the same exact way. The AI robot will stop at nothing and ultimately must be destroyed. In saying that, I genuinely think Fox is a talented actor and she brings an excellent performance. Sadly, the films story was basic and too predictable for me to fully enjoy it.
For me, it was too predictable and too familiar to stand out from all the other similar stories.
