I Am Mother (2019)
APX01 APX03 Theories & Spoilers
My theory is that APX01 was Hillary Swank's character and mother purposely used her to test APX03 (Daughter) in the movie. APX01 was shot by a drone which we learned are all controlled by Mother. Mother knew exactly who APX01 was the entire time and allowed her in to test Daughter. This is reiterated at the end of the movie when Mother goes to APX01 and says that it was as if she was being kept alive for a purpose until that moment; to be Daughter's final test in order for Daughter to become 'Mother'.
We also know that the first child Mother gave life to was the 1st day after the extinction event and then we're fast forwarded 36 years later; which seems like a fitting age for APX01 (Hillary Swank).
So in conclusion it seems as though Mother's plan executed exactly as it intended it to. Which makes me question the other reviewers pointing out the 'inevitable' errors in Mother's plans..
If Mother is an all knowing AI do we think it can not concoct another plan to dispose of any unwanted 'failure' humans that Daughter may raise?
I think our own human boundaries of logic and knowledge truly limit us in understanding the vast capabilities of AI which is exactly what this movie subtly exposes.
Also if you're wondering about APX02, she was disposed of by Mother. It was APX02's mandible that Daughter found in the furnace.
Overall I genuinely enjoyed the movie and being able to connect the pieces myself. I really enjoy sci-fi that makes you think and this may be one of those movies where even more becomes apparent after a second watch.
Driven (2018)
Season 1 Only!
Season 1 is an 8/10 in my opinion
I was honestly so surprised at how much I loved season 1 of Driven. I haven't read the book but the chemistry between Colton & Rylee was off the charts!!! Highly recommend season 1
Season 2 I only watched 1 episode, huge disappointment
I was DEVASTATED when I began season 2 and realized they replaced Colton/Casey with a different actor, Michael. I don't mean to be rude but Michael just isn't as good of an actor as Casey and there was 0 chemistry between him & Rylee/Olivia. It made the episode feel dull and forced.
*If I do end up watching more of Season 2 & change my mind I'll adjust my rating.
Players (2024)
More Rom-com Adjacent than Romantic
I thought Players was an enjoyable watch with a nice balance of humor and endearing moments. It emphasized the bonds of friendship and the importance of staying true to who you are especially when it comes to love.
Pros: Funny, sweet, refreshing characters
Con: Lacked chemistry. Predictable plot
I was surprised by the IMDB rating but once I saw some of the reviews I understood why.. A woman who deceives men in order to land a night with them or maybe even a relationship?
A woman playing the games of boys?
*Cue the shocked gasps & clutching of pearls*
Overall I liked it & will probably watch it again xx.
