I mean, It's the Mother of Dragons! What else can anyone say! Her acting is flawless as well as her eyebrows. Actually the film is pretty damn good as far as predicting the best future. She is the first of her name. Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen. Daenerys Targaryen : The First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of Meereen, Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Khalisee of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons. May she find peace. May she find peace. Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen. Daenerys Targaryen : The First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of Meereen, Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Khalisee of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons.

Pod Generation This was a very carefully crafted movie about artificial surrogacy in the not too distant future, it implied that societies rejection of actual nature for virtual nature extended to natural childbirth. The movie carefully sidestepped all the morality and religious elements and stuck with the commercialism of pregnancy as an option for those wishing to pay. Seemingly anyone could order a baby as long as they had the means to pay. Of course there were countless other themes, ranging from a group or societal mindset through peer pressure to individual choice. I thought this movie was most original and certainly gave the viewer much to think about and there was a lightness of touch and much comedy. The acting was brilliant throughout, if there is a problem with this movie it is how to end it, I thought taking back parental control was good, but a standoff between parents and the womb clinic would have been more engaging. I'm giving this a firm 7 outta 10, I enjoyed it's immensely.

First of all, let me say how much I have enjoyed both main characters, as well as the cinematography and dialogues. Rachel and Alvy, despite their flaws, were very believable and sweet people, so their journey quickly becomes relatable, even if we do not have parenting aspirations, nor do we live in a society that is as technologically advanced. Speaking of technology, I love that it was represented in a way that feels like a slightly upgraded (or perhaps downgraded?) version of our own reality, instead of going over the top. Overtly futuristic aesthetics, such as in Blade Runner, wouldn't have worked in this case, so I'm happy they decided to keep it familiar. Kinda reminiscent of a Black Mirror episode in its non-pretentious approach. However, unlike (most episodes of) Black Mirror, I think it lacked a further exploration of the topic, specifically the long-term consequences of growing your baby in artificial and supposedly advanced conditions. We are told that these children have the inability to dream and that dreams, in general, are now recognized as an unnecessary addition to the human psyche. While it very well may be true, the question of whether we should rid our children of this experience in advance feels a bit more relevant than this movie gives it space. It also begs another question: What else these kids may be missing out on? Story-wise, what's the point of introducing this subplot, as it ultimately does not affect the characters? The same goes for social commentary. Some women agree with the new method of childbirth, others protest it, but we never find out what they have against it. Furthermore, we see that the main company is very questionable in terms of the education they provide for children, and they even tried to remotely starve Rachel and Alvy's baby when they stole the pod. But, once the baby is born, it seems like our main characters are entirely at peace and have gotten over everything so quickly that they even send the pod back to the company. Again, as we relate to our characters' journey, I was pleased that they got their happy ending, but the resolution of the main conflicts never seems to occur, nor are there deeper consequences of anything that happens.

This futuristic movie is a mess! The acting is painfully bad, and the plot is filled with unfinished thoughts. It tries to lead you down nefarious paths, at one point even making you believe they're populating Mars secretly. But ideas are thrown out without making any sense. The husband and wife act like they've never been around children, even though some people still have babies naturally. The movie is poorly written, and the ending is anticlimactic. Avoid at all costs! This was hard to get through to the ending. I would write more, but I've already wasted 90 minutes of my life I'll never get back by watching this movie. The only reason it gets a 2 star rating is because the baby is adorable and the cat looks like Church from Pet Cemetery.

This one kind of stumped me. I'm a fan of Emilia Clarke, I'm always down to watch any new projects of hers...and yet, something about "The Pod Generation" just seemed a little off to me. It was good enough overall, I didn't hate it. But the execution was so-so. Dialogue seemed clunkily-written and the overall pacing was too slow to fit under the traditional sci-fi genre. In fact, I'd classify this as a 'futuristic drama', more than anything. It has its quirks, but I didn't find it a romantic comedy, either. The repetitive dream sequences were thought-provoking but really went nowhere. Emilia Clarke gives a solid performance despite her character's lack of backstory and depth. I think maybe that's what it's missing...the plot itself has potential but it never quite lives up to it. Mr. Chiwetel also gives a good performance, but there's no soul to this movie...aside from Emilia Clarke's truly radiant smile. Just a set of confused parents-to-be, trying to sort out the rules and regulations around an AI-assisted "pregnancy" (via a Pod, hence the title). Alas, it was a great premise. As others had said, it would've made a stellar story for the TV show Black Mirror. (I would award automatic bonus points if Emilia and Chiwetel had still appeared!)

This film is nothing but woke and LGBTQIA+ messages of what they want in their ideal future. The world where woken took over corporations and has the preference in hiring and promotion. Where men tends the home and try to protect the natural way of living. Sounds familiar? Birth of children is done using mixing DNA of couples and put them in pods made of plastic and filled with chemicals. 5he DNA mixing controlled the result for the best possible baby. That way, women can hold their jobs. The film is filled with messages 5hat the natural ways oppressed women, pods birth give freedom, and every food are created synthetically. In short, lives would controlled by corporations that produce every needs, aynthetic food, medicine, AI controlled daily routines, social media influencers are the goal of life for everyone. I thought at the end, they tell the story of how wrong it was, but no. The film prefers to keep the messages and lecturing audience that this future is better. Don't waste your time! Don't let corporations controlled your life! I check the list of producers and Emilia Clark was one of them, bad move Emilia. That put you in the spotlight as woke & LGBTQIA+ supporter that the world hate.

In the near future, New York is driven by artificially intelligent assistants, therapists, and home housekeepers. When Rachel (Emilia Clarke) and Alvy (Chiwetel Ejiofor) decide to have a child, they opt to use a new egg-shaped pod technology to gestate the fetus, in 'The Pod Generation'. The film is beautifully shot and the flow is solid. There are some interesting social and ethical dilemmas as to the future of technological advancements over nature and how to work in a modern society where everyone has a quota to meet. The film also does a decent job juggling the materal/paternal stances, since neither of them are physically pregnant, and delves into 'Junior' (1994) role reversals. The only real downside is there is no real conflict, save the fact that both the leads feel obligated to do what they contractually agreed to. Worth a watch.

The Pod Generation isn't perfect and the responses have been pretty mediocre and low from the general public and critics but personally, I thought it was decent. The movie explores an interesting narrative concept about the futuristic world of artificial wombs or pods with some beautiful futuristic production designs and make-up throughout. The camerawork is pretty good with the colorful lightening, settings, designs and special effects helping to add the futuristic setting and environment. With an solid soundtrack and direction as well. The narrative is interesting and does provide some strong elements about human evolution and technology together. However, some of the narrative themes does feel a little preachy and inconsistent regarding it's message and social commentaries that is is trying to explore. The performances from Emilia Clarke and Chiwetel Ejiofor are pretty great and the two of them have surprisingly pretty good chemistry between on another. One of the weaker elements are the characters as the characters aren't as fully interesting or engaging to connect with as much. There are some decent dialogue moment as well. Some of the pacing could have been improved. Overall, it's decent.
