The Pod Generation

fascinating insight on how corporations have sold motherhood & children back to us, going against nature & deep connection with our children. first 40 or so minutes really had me thinking about the politics & sociological impacts of that, but the story really fell off after that

Not bad but definitely not good! The whole movie felt like build up to a climax that never came. Nothing really happens and honestly now that I’m finished I’m just kinda left with the feeling that this was a waste of time. Does include some social commentary which had the potential to be emotionally impactful and thought provoking but ultimately just felt short. The only real reason I was able to finish this movie is because Emilia Clarke and Chiwetel Ejiofor, are great actors and really sell this idea of “the pod”. Overall, this movie felt like a weirdly optimistic, black mirror episode?

It reminds me of black mirror!! However, I find it weird. The fact that the baby develops in the pod🤔

this really made me think; mostly about the daunting horrors of AI, but also about how capitalism will eventually horde every single fathomable thing behind a paywall if left unregulated. i will say i agree with the consensus that this fell a bit short on making the commentary it set out to make, especially when it comes to reproductive rights.
