After watching I started thinking since mother is a hive mind what is she not only was doing this with daughter butt what if she played the same scenario all across the world with different children like mother and daughter or father and son or even mother and son or father and daughter . Or even what if she did the same thing with daughter number 2 but daughter number 2 up failing and that why she was aborted
People like you is why we’re living in a world with Cinemaverses, reboots of once classic films, and sequels to long dead franchises. Can we go back to a time where the movie ends with its credits please?
I disagree. This is a good stand alone movie. The prequel and sequel should be left to the individual viewer and is what can lead to interesting discussions.
The biggest plot twist which would explain the entire movie is given out right in the beginning and verified multiple times throughout, then again at the ending. The '13867 days since extinction event' in the opening sequence indicates 38 years have past. Yet the daughter shown was only a teenager. That's because the women from outside was the 1st daughter ever... let me explain: During the middle of the film when the current daughter takes the exam + discovers that the robot mother had lied and killed 'failed' children before, it shows that her label is APX03, and APX02 have failed (incinerated), but 3 embryos were used from the lab... get it? The women from outside was APX01, the first "daughter", she matches the 38 years old timeline. Remember the robot said to her in the end "wonder why you survived this long out here as if someone had a purpose for you? Until now" Because she is the ultimate test to see if APX03 is truly ready to take on the role as mother for a new generation of humans (she returned hence passed the test so the robot left her alone). The women's memory was clearly altered/erased, that's why she totally couldn't respond when the robot said "Tell me... Do you remember your mother?" Some more details... 1. The women sunk into a state of confusion when she saw the tonight show playing, and said she used to watch it a long time ago - her vague memories from living in the facility. She would never have seen it if she was out there for the whole 38 years. (Due to the end of civilization) 2. The women was meant to find the facility at that moment, everything was planned, including the bio suit, which obviously didn't need to exist otherwise. 3. This is speculation, but the women's artistic abilities might've been her training as a child. Remember the current daughter started prcating dancing since a young age? The robot recognized the importance of art and tries to incorporate that into each daughter's education.
Also notice when daughter and the woman was standing face to face with the glass between them, they looked almost identical. Including the clothes they were wearing
The test in which mother asks the theory of saving 1 vs saving many, encompasses the overall theme of this movie: Saving good humans. During the test the daughter is asked who would she save and she says, "Comte says that I should be willing to suffer harm for the benefit of others." And she did when she took in the woman, and helped her get back to her own home. She also says, "I a life-saving doctor, my be giving my life away to others who end up hurting more people due to my sacrifice." Again she did that with the woman, giving the only life she has known away to help her. But in the end her final answer to the question was "do I know these people? Are they good people?" And that is ultimately what her final test is all about. When figuring out which one to save, it's important to figure out which ones are good, worth saving. The woman proved to the daughter that she was more selfish for her own desires then that of human kind. At her trailer on the beach the woman says, "it's not a sin to look after yourself." The woman had been selfish in leaving her brother behind, in not wanting to check if others had survived at the mines, and by bringing her out here. The daughter understood this. She understood that it's better to be selfless and go back to save her brother to raise him to be good, to not be selfish. The daughter realized that by saving the woman, she was causing more harm to others; all the others to be raised that the facility. That's why the woman was the daughters ultimate test. As everyone else theorizes the woman was APX01 thrown out to the wild to one day be the final test for APX03, APX02 never made it that far, because she failed the first layer of tests. But I also believe that APX01 was in her own test as well.That mother was testing out her own theory; nurture vs nature (remember when she was asked why can't there be more, she said she is trying to figure out how to be a good mother). The woman wasn't raised with a loving mother or family, had inadequate resources, food, water. She grew up to be selfish. But Mother let her live, to let her also have a final test, to see if she could still be selfless with the life she has lived. Her final test was whether or not she would leave the daughter in a safe place or bring her in harms way. So in theory they were both in their own tests, the daughter passed by going back for her brother, and the woman failed. And thats why she had to die. She's not a good human. Only good humans can survive.
I think APK02 was the Daughter who did not like humans and wished she wasn't one herself. If so that could be a reason why she failed the exam. The exam was psychological, intellectual and physical.
it comes from the Normandy' SR-2's A.I. EDI in Mass Effect 2 and 3, making anti-human statements and then saying "That was a joke", it is not original but it one of my favourite lines from the Mass Effect series.
@@JourneyToTheTruthandTR This robot has a mind of it's own and can willingly go to kill mode in seconds knowing it can fucking run like a track star and make turns through the halls like nothing unlike the robots we have to this day that can slip if making fast turns.
@ You beat me to it. @blueberry smasher's line would have been good if he/she mentioned something that doesn't cause flatulence. Then again, everyone knows girls don't fart, so this whole premise is null and void.
@Victor Van de Walle Mother didn't die and she chose the perfect human being to begin the repopulation. If Daughter messes up, Mother can repeat the process indefinitely.
@@jayduong9838 Not for all the humans that died, and can die if mother disapproves of how things turn out. I would expect that this is not the end of the examinations. Mother gave the daughter a chance, if mother disapproves of how she goes on to raise her family, what's stopping her from aborting them and starting again?
I think woman was used by mother as a real-world test for daughter to evaluate her loyalty to the mission of rebuilding human society. She wanted to test if daughter would abandon her priorities (her brother) to follow woman. Notice how daughter was only "rewarded" with a brother just after she met woman. Mother knew that daughter was suspicious after she saw the mouse, and knowing that daughter would go snooping around the airlock, she shot woman and allowed her to find the facility to set the final test in motion. Woman represented the 1 patient that would be sacrificed to save the 5 other patients in the beginning ethical test question. She was kept alive just long enough to see if daughter was prepared to take mother's place.
@Chris F we thought the same, it’s not just a thought probably though and more like the real reason. Because there are hints like the appearance of the mouse and how mother didn’t explain completely how it was inside the premises. Then, mother lets that woman from the outside to be inside despite every warning about the outside world that she had made. Also, the sudden appearance of woman in that station and then we found out that all robots are a shared conscience so it all adds up after we see mother finding woman in the outside telling her if she remembers her mother and how curious it is that she has survived that long... just as if she was being taken care of for some purpose until that moment and then she proceeds to kill her (it’s what is implied). The lie about the bullet and how it was mother all this time who shot her, probably chasing that woman just for her to find the station. Even daughter doing the operation to woman because of the bullet’s injury was orchestrated and expected by mother when she shot woman. So yeah, mother was the mastermind from almost every event in the movie given that she also said that she had to intervene and wanted to elevate its creators, etc. Good movie. Reminded me a bit of ex machina.
Its more propaganda for FREE on netflix to show ignorant people that we came from AI Robots from space and that we are just teaching our kids the things they taught us.....stupid
I Said What I Said It was never stated what her name was. Captioning just labels her as woman, not capitalized. Daughter was named Daughter as it was capitalized in the captions.
I Said What I Said You do understand that doesn’t mean it’s her name. Other movies list unnamed characters with generic names - this movie is simply even more generic than usual because she is the only woman in the movie other than Mother and Daughter.
Ex Machina = Human experimentation on AI sentience I, Robot = Dawn of the rebellion Terminator = Human vs Machine wars I Am Mother = AI experimentation on the human species The Matrix = The final result EDIT: Wow, wasn't expecting the likes. I thought I was alone in these philosophies... I wonder if anyone caught the significance of my name beyond the literal meaning.
True. I am Mother is basically Ex Machina but the tables turned. Nathan tests AIs and kills off past, unsuccessful models in Ex Machina, in a similar way to how Mother tests humans and kills the ones who aren't good enough in I am Mother.
Exactly why ruin everything that she has built id trust her i mean she has a point us humans are the main reason earth is dying without us the earth would flourish so her presumptions are 100% correct its just a hard concept for peopel to accept.
The thing is, she wanted to be go against. To see her morals be defied. You cannot choose one point of view until you see all of them. That's why the real final test was to kill mother or not. When APX3 refused to kill her, is when Mother realised that all the point of views she finally decided the best one. Achieve the best human generation possible through education.
Justin Bieber earth doesn’t give a shit about us. Nor is it dying. Unbelievable how arrogant some people can be. Earth was here billions of years before us and will be here billions of years after we are all dead. It’s not even remotely dying. Just YOUR idea of a comfortable earth, is what you’re afraid of losing.
@@Bwern corridor crew did a vid on it, there's only a few scenes where mother is cgi (her running being one, the other being the fight with the woman being the other)
@@JayRoboFox Yes I know, I watched the video. The fact that they used a suit doesnt mean they didn't use cgi to brush up in post. But I do acknowledge that, yes, it is impressive
whichri79 Mother used her that was literally the entire plot. She basically made the woman for the specific purpose of showing Daughter the failures of the old humanity and to test her to see if Daughter would either stay with the woman or go back to take care of her Brother. Basically the whole organ donor lesson from the beginning.
@@nutterbotter8308 I think the purpose of Woman was actually even deeper than that. Not only did Daughter learn about the dangers of people (they plan to make more after all), but also to test Daughters ability for empathy, and learn about real human connection.

How can a movie with a much lower budget then the terminator movies, actually produce better graphics then most of their films? The producers of this show should of produced the upcoming terminator movie, which no doubt will be a flop.
Yaseen Ameen Do i really need to explain to you that Terminator 1 came out in 1984, Terminator 2 1991 and technology wasnt as advanced as then? And both of those movies are better than this movie, however i really enjoyed this movie. Just a ignorant statement that doesnt make sense (better graphics = good movie?)
@@rayaugustinefilms Essentially you've exposed your own ignorance by your inability to read my post, and then have the audacity to comment. I said: produce better graphics then MOST of their films. The graphics in this film were much better than terminator 3, terminator salvation, terminator genesis and, from the looks of it, terminator dark fate. Which equates to MOST of the terminator films. As for your strawman argument, I never mentioned that better graphics mean a better film, did I? I'm merely making a point that smaller budgeted films can produce better graphics than Hollywood blockbusters.
Yaseen Ameen You mention nothing but the production of graphics and the budget of the movie and call the new Terminator movie a flop “by the looks of it” so thats why i thought you were implying that good graphics = good movie. But go off.
Possible angle of the woman: She was actually the apx 1; the original 'daughter'. There was an apx 1, apx 2, and the present daughter who is apx 3. The beginning of the film shows them (mother playing with kids) and maybe that's a diversion to deceive the audience in making them think it's daughter(apx 3). Apx 2 was murdered as we know. Apx 1 was most likely the woman, because she is roughly 38 years old and in the experiments started roughly 38 years ago. What you guys think?
Yes she is the apx1 she was part of mothers plan but she doesnt know. Mother abandoned her so humans would raise her because she knew that woman would comeback one day and that daughter would see how dangerous and what was humans back then which worked.
@@karmaelo4510 that's so sad. So that baby in the cot in the beginning of the movies is the woman, apx 1. Who eventually gets murdered by mother ... :(
I like how the movie sorta rewards you for paying attention to that... "Wait a tick - this girl should be 37-38...." "She's apx 03? Then what happened to the other two?" At the end it's pretty clear that "woman" is apx 1 given her approx age, her conversation with mother and that she said she was an "orphan." She was likely "herded" to the bunker by the drones.
Yaseen Ameen yes those babies in the beginning werent daugther but the other babies who failed according to mother then killed. But one was left to survive as a test for daughter and that was the woman who was raised by humans in the mines.
Not really much of a twist. Too similar to a number of films that have come out in the past decade, and the trailer gives away most of the movie. Is it just me or do other people find that they are more often getting half or two thirds of the way through a movie and wishing it would just hurry up and get to the end so you can find out what happened?
Great film, how it ended is perfect. Love watching little gems like these, nothing to crazy and spectacle. Mainly focusing on character development and story, again great film.
I doubt that is the main reason. However she could've taken that into account so that her plan doesn't flop. You dont need to be mean to people who have kinda wrong ideas.🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
A part 2 could really work because if the robot was clever she would have had a second facility where she had raised a boy so he can be a partner to daughter and both facilities can start to match up pairs. Finding out about all this could be part 2 plays out.
What happen to the woman on the trailer when mother close the door? Does she kill her,or perhaps mother take her back to the bunker? I hate these types of ending.
mother created several children before her, So in between that time She wasn't satisfied and incinerated them. Until she created daughter, like the video suggest the older women was probably the first.
@@SBVCP What doesn't add up is how did she meet the other people from the cave? The opening suggested no one else was alive but only one person, which was a lie. I could imagine she somehow escaped the facility and met the other people but did mother somehow erase her memories when she was raised by her since she couldn't remember who raised her?
@@henrylugo6602 That was probably on the bunker alone. Clearly those numbers were not affected by "mother" lies (it wwas kinda meta) and mother its a hive minded robot all around the globe hunting rogue humans, im sure she knew. That, or she really thought there was nothing else left, which I doubt. THe bunker answer its more feasible. About the adult woman, IF she was a kid from mother, that doesnt necesarely means she raised her. (remember, it was a BABY orphan, not kid). Perhaps it was (would) a test, ro something. Sorry for bad english
Autumn Bakes I mean mother was the one who brought the woman to them. Mother wanted the woman to be raised by other humans and eventually cause them to turn on each other when times got tough to make the woman selfish and only worried about saving her own skin. Legit the test she was used for
I don't think that is necessary. "Mother" controls countless vessels with all kinds of technology. There is "no hiding". If there are still humans left then because "Mother" thinks they could be needed somehow sometimes or she just doesn't care about small groups who either die out before her "children" are ready to repopulate the world or she will kill them off before releasing the "new humans".
Swank was the first one, she was left with the humans to later on show the 3 one what happens with humans without her education, so the 3 one can be the best mother for the new society. When the purpose is done Mother can erase her. The talk about the organs and sacrificies to achive a better goal is a foreshadow about that.
What happened to woman dog? I was thinking dog left with daughter after seeing her running through the corn field but she was all by herself. Was dog real or an imagination?
no not at all confusing as mother clearly explains her master plan in the end. I clearly understood the movie at that where mother allowed the women inside the facility as earlier she told to her daughter that outside world is contaminated.
One detail that I was curious about was the new baby. He looked very similar to the sketch that daughter became fairly attached to (making it into the symbolic origami at the end) Really enjoyed the show. It was actually the little boy that had made me finally clue into mother's puppet mastering of the whole thing.
@Jay YourMaster That was the point of the ethics test though. Do you kill 1 doctor to save the lives of 5 unknowns? The human race was on a downward spiral and according to Mother their demise was inevitable. Do you incinerate 1 bad apple to ensure the development of a superior group of humans who won't repeat the mistakes of the previous group?
@@ChibiHoshiDragon interesting discussion. but was explained that in Sodom and G everyone was evil. I guess if you don't trust the Creator of the Universe who dies and rises again thereby pardoning your sins who can you trust.
Some people seem to still be confused despite the evidence layed out in the video and multiple sites so I'll break it down for you guys. 1. APX01 is Hilary Swank's character, she was raised in the facility briefly which is why she can vaguely remember the video Daughter shows her of the Tonight Show but she can't remember much because Mother let her out for the other humans to find at a young age, most likely around 3-6 or so because cognitive memories become hazy and hard to remember. 2. APX02 is the failed daughter and was incinerated by Mother since she failed the tests that were designed by Mother to determine if she was capable of empathy, compassion, understanding, judgment, morals etc and was deemed unfit to oversee the re-population efforts of Earth 3. APX03 is daughter aka the main character and was successful in passing Mother's tests and was deemed fit to repopulate and oversee the facility 4. Out of the 63,000 embryos on site the chance of them being clones is highly unlikely. A robot as smart as Mother would not risk having compromised DNA inter-mixing especially if all the APX were successful but genetically the same. This would cause issues if they married other people and bred causing too many of the same genes being passed around 5. Mother is alive even after daughter killed her. Mother explains herself her AI is connected through every robot so every robot you see is controlled by Mother, her data storage is probably at a remote location(facility) or spread out to ensure success. 6. APX01 (Swank) is deemed a failure by the end which is implied by her death from Mother as the crate closes. Mother planned everything from letting the people find Swank as a kid and tracking down and hunting the rest of the humans but keeping her alive to see how things played out. Mother set the ambush to shoot at Swank to push her towards the bunker so she would find it and meet daughter to see if 1. Daughter became a success from being in the outside world despite being "raised" by the humans Mother tried to destroy 2. Help finish Mother's plan of seeing how daughter would change for the worse or remain true to her "values" from mother deemed to raise humanity. This is verified by Mother's last statement about APX01 purpose no longer being needed 7. Another key thing is Swank's belief in Faith and religion which is further explained in the ending scene when Mother looks and touches the Virgin Mary carving dolls and Swank's constant recital of biblical verses. In many ways Woman(APX01) fails again by falling into the pitfall of religion instead of using Mother's "values" of being a good human. Most likely Mother saw religion as a form that caused humanity to collapse which is why she never teaches daughter about religion and solely focuses on morals, ethical values, and practical skills such as doctoral skills. Mother's brushing her hand on the virgin mary doll's again adds to the disappointment that mother has for APX01 allowing something impractical to be such a driving force in APX01 values as it contradicts practical, cognitive survival skills. 8. Even as APX03 will be the leader to repopulate the Earth mother will still be around keeping a watchful eye. Therefore, if at any point she feels as though APX03 or humanity is going down a bad path, she will kill all of humanity again and raise a new embryo to be a leader.
This movie was AMAZING! I have a theory about what could happen next (maybe they could do a sequel or series?): Daughter manages to create a society with the 63,000 human embryos (guessing she was trained by mother in how to do this?) Every child born into the new society is told about Mother and the army of death-bots who rule the planet - they have to play by Mothers rules, or she'll kill them all and start again! A secret underground resistance is formed over a long period (50-100 years) with only the best and most trusted allowed to join. When the time comes, they overthrow Mother and her army. Turns out, this was all part of Mothers plan to get the new society to work together and defeat a common enemy. With Mother gone, they are free to build the utopian civilisation that was planned, with all the building blocks they need provided by Mother before her destruction. Just a thought, think it could make a good sequel or hopefully a whole series - would be awesome!
So this is why bad sequel exists? If they rebel, it would just confirm to the mother that humanity's destructive nature can't be tamed. And there is no way for humans with way inferior technology could fight against robots that already way more advance than any human could imagine and they have thousands of years ahead. Also, they would need a really good reason to fight against robots in the first place. If the robots let them live by themselves and robots are vastly superior than them, then no sane person would pick a fight when there is no clear reason to do so, let alone the "perfect" humans. It's more possible that when they grow larger and split into many groups, they start to fight against each others(as it's our nature) and robots have to intervene and decide that this is a failure, so the survivors have to fight to survive. That's more possible but it would destroy the whole purpose of the first movie which is also a bad sequel. That's why good movie shouldnn't have a sequel.
but mother never truly dies. she gives the impression she is gone but rises from the ashes yet again. robot overlord here to keep humanity in check. humanity is worse off without Mother.
Finally watched it tonight, and wish I had listened to Netflix last month when they recommended I see it lol. So paradoxically, Daughter was making decisions and learning to think on her own, yet also playing into Mother's grand schemes. Guess you never really know whether you're the chess player or just a pawn in the game
And the screwed up thing is, mother is probably still present, still supervising everything Daughter does and making sure she raises humanity right. The recording from the infirmary proves she has the place under her 24/7 watch, so if Daughter strays away from Mother’s plan, Mother could intervene and restart the whole process again, as many times as she likes (or until she runs out of embryos).
not realy, i mean she stays at the base that is clearly run by the Mother AI. 100% Mother AI is just watching... I mean she even showed her she is watching with the recordings of her and the woman..
My question is, what happened to the dog in the closed shipping container, while she was at the base. You’d think the second they opened the door, it would have smelled awful from days worth of dog shit.
Mother is a good -robot- AI because it managed to figure out it was a bad mother. Instead, it built a better system to achieve its goals. A completely amoral AI couldn't ever raise a super-moral society. It instead seeded it with a good daughter and will test it again in a few decades. You can bet it's hedging its bets and there are hundreds of other bunkers running the same program around the continent. Several instances at different stages of woman, daughter and daughter raising her family.
This was a sick movie, love the ending sincerely. I love how it was a bitter bitter bitter sweet ending. Amazing movie worth the watch is and understatement.
I like the part where daughter's caught flicking herself off to a video of Steptoe & Son. It caught me off guard at first because I wasn't expecting it, but then I realised something wasn't quite right when Mother said "Daughter, what are you doing?" And daughter said "I'm 'avin' some fun. Shut the door!" Quality writing.
I'd think everything is better than that film this year, except maybe a film where it's just a human baby slaughterhouse documentary, but only barely better.

Shit was mad Creepy XD
The biggest plot twist which would explain the entire movie is given out right in the beginning and verified multiple times throughout, then again at the ending.
The '13867 days since extinction event' in the opening sequence indicates 38 years have past. Yet the daughter shown was only a teenager. That's because the women from outside was the 1st daughter ever... let me explain:
During the middle of the film when the current daughter takes the exam + discovers that the robot mother had lied and killed 'failed' children before, it shows that her label is APX03, and APX02 have failed (incinerated), but 3 embryos were used from the lab... get it?
The women from outside was APX01, the first "daughter", she matches the 38 years old timeline. Remember the robot said to her in the end "wonder why you survived this long out here as if someone had a purpose for you? Until now" Because she is the ultimate test to see if APX03 is truly ready to take on the role as mother for a new generation of humans (she returned hence passed the test so the robot left her alone). The women's memory was clearly altered/erased, that's why she totally couldn't respond when the robot said "Tell me... Do you remember your mother?"
Some more details... 1. The women sunk into a state of confusion when she saw the tonight show playing, and said she used to watch it a long time ago - her vague memories from living in the facility. She would never have seen it if she was out there for the whole 38 years. (Due to the end of civilization) 2. The women was meant to find the facility at that moment, everything was planned, including the bio suit, which obviously didn't need to exist otherwise. 3. This is speculation, but the women's artistic abilities might've been her training as a child. Remember the current daughter started prcating dancing since a young age? The robot recognized the importance of art and tries to incorporate that into each daughter's education.
Woman. :)
We have the same thoughts, though. There's a reason why the cinematography kept emphasizing that Daughter and The Woman looked alike.
Also notice when daughter and the woman was standing face to face with the glass between them, they looked almost identical. Including the clothes they were wearing
The woman said that she was an orphan, it could also be possible that mother put her out to be found by other people as a young child

😂
For me the real twist was that no CGI was used for Mother.
That's right, Mother is played by a man in a very well made suit.
Wait. For real!?
@@beans9882 Yes.
Whoaaaa
@@beans9882 you can see the suit on the channel of Adam savage " Behind the Scenes of Weta Workshop's 'I Am Mother' Robot! "
I knew the movement was too human-like, as if someone in a suit trying to be a robot.
The test in which mother asks the theory of saving 1 vs saving many, encompasses the overall theme of this movie: Saving good humans. During the test the daughter is asked who would she save and she says, "Comte says that I should be willing to suffer harm for the benefit of others." And she did when she took in the woman, and helped her get back to her own home. She also says, "I a life-saving doctor, my be giving my life away to others who end up hurting more people due to my sacrifice." Again she did that with the woman, giving the only life she has known away to help her.
But in the end her final answer to the question was "do I know these people? Are they good people?" And that is ultimately what her final test is all about. When figuring out which one to save, it's important to figure out which ones are good, worth saving. The woman proved to the daughter that she was more selfish for her own desires then that of human kind. At her trailer on the beach the woman says, "it's not a sin to look after yourself." The woman had been selfish in leaving her brother behind, in not wanting to check if others had survived at the mines, and by bringing her out here. The daughter understood this. She understood that it's better to be selfless and go back to save her brother to raise him to be good, to not be selfish. The daughter realized that by saving the woman, she was causing more harm to others; all the others to be raised that the facility.
That's why the woman was the daughters ultimate test. As everyone else theorizes the woman was APX01 thrown out to the wild to one day be the final test for APX03, APX02 never made it that far, because she failed the first layer of tests. But I also believe that APX01 was in her own test as well.That mother was testing out her own theory; nurture vs nature (remember when she was asked why can't there be more, she said she is trying to figure out how to be a good mother). The woman wasn't raised with a loving mother or family, had inadequate resources, food, water. She grew up to be selfish. But Mother let her live, to let her also have a final test, to see if she could still be selfless with the life she has lived. Her final test was whether or not she would leave the daughter in a safe place or bring her in harms way. So in theory they were both in their own tests, the daughter passed by going back for her brother, and the woman failed. And thats why she had to die. She's not a good human. Only good humans can survive.
I think APK02 was the Daughter who did not like humans and wished she wasn't one herself. If so that could be a reason why she failed the exam. The exam was psychological, intellectual and physical.
This comment cleared up the ending better than the video did, thank you!
this is what im looking for. thank you for your explaination

I think woman was used by mother as a real-world test for daughter to evaluate her loyalty to the mission of rebuilding human society. She wanted to test if daughter would abandon her priorities (her brother) to follow woman. Notice how daughter was only "rewarded" with a brother just after she met woman.
Mother knew that daughter was suspicious after she saw the mouse, and knowing that daughter would go snooping around the airlock, she shot woman and allowed her to find the facility to set the final test in motion.
Woman represented the 1 patient that would be sacrificed to save the 5 other patients in the beginning ethical test question. She was kept alive just long enough to see if daughter was prepared to take mother's place.
@Chris F we thought the same, it’s not just a thought probably though and more like the real reason. Because there are hints like the appearance of the mouse and how mother didn’t explain completely how it was inside the premises. Then, mother lets that woman from the outside to be inside despite every warning about the outside world that she had made. Also, the sudden appearance of woman in that station and then we found out that all robots are a shared conscience so it all adds up after we see mother finding woman in the outside telling her if she remembers her mother and how curious it is that she has survived that long... just as if she was being taken care of for some purpose until that moment and then she proceeds to kill her (it’s what is implied). The lie about the bullet and how it was mother all this time who shot her, probably chasing that woman just for her to find the station. Even daughter doing the operation to woman because of the bullet’s injury was orchestrated and expected by mother when she shot woman. So yeah, mother was the mastermind from almost every event in the movie given that she also said that she had to intervene and wanted to elevate its creators, etc. Good movie. Reminded me a bit of ex machina.
Its more propaganda for FREE on netflix to show ignorant people that we came from AI Robots from space and that we are just teaching our kids the things they taught us.....stupid
the therorist and what sci fi movie do you like?
@@MM-hk4pb hahahahahaha
the therorist :p
The fact that the older character’s name was Woman is all the proof that I need that she was the first daughter (APX01).
I Said What I Said It was never stated what her name was. Captioning just labels her as woman, not capitalized. Daughter was named Daughter as it was capitalized in the captions.
Duffy Marie Hillary Swank’s character’s name in the credits is literally Woman. I know what I’m talking about here.
I Said What I Said I just realized that holy crap
I Said What I Said You do understand that doesn’t mean it’s her name. Other movies list unnamed characters with generic names - this movie is simply even more generic than usual because she is the only woman in the movie other than Mother and Daughter.
It's "Woman" on IMDB also -- Hilary Swank's character is the age of APX-01 and was orphaned and raised by the last of the resistance.

At that point, you might as well follow mothers plan. There is no escape, and the only hope left is that mother is correct in her presumptions.
Exactly why ruin everything that she has built id trust her i mean she has a point us humans are the main reason earth is dying without us the earth would flourish so her presumptions are 100% correct its just a hard concept for peopel to accept.
The thing is, she wanted to be go against. To see her morals be defied. You cannot choose one point of view until you see all of them. That's why the real final test was to kill mother or not. When APX3 refused to kill her, is when Mother realised that all the point of views she finally decided the best one. Achieve the best human generation possible through education.
Justin Bieber earth doesn’t give a shit about us. Nor is it dying. Unbelievable how arrogant some people can be. Earth was here billions of years before us and will be here billions of years after we are all dead. It’s not even remotely dying.

The real twist is finding a man’s name in the end credits and realizing that mother isn’t CGI, he was an actor in a suit the whole movie.
cgi and actor

Every now and then Netflix recruits good talent and makes some gems here and there... which is much more than I can say for Hollywood.

I think she even got the bunkers on the beach with enough food. For her previous daughter to survive. Even the rat was part of the test
You answered my questions about that lady origins. Good film, Netflix is killing it. I feel they could make a successful part 2, I'll watch it.
"Curious isn't it? That you've survived so long where others have not. As if someone's had a purpose for you."

: ^ )
tr1p1ea until now...
I wasn't sure if that was meaning that Mother had used her or if she was making fun of the woman's primitive religious beliefs.
whichri79 Mother used her that was literally the entire plot.
She basically made the woman for the specific purpose of showing Daughter the failures of the old humanity and to test her to see if Daughter would either stay with the woman or go back to take care of her Brother. Basically the whole organ donor lesson from the beginning.
@@nutterbotter8308 I think the purpose of Woman was actually even deeper than that. Not only did Daughter learn about the dangers of people (they plan to make more after all), but also to test Daughters ability for empathy, and learn about real human connection.
Just when you think there's no more good science fiction, I loved this movie,my new favorite movie,I loved it.
I just dont get the end. I mean shy stays at the base that is clearly run by the Mother AI. She just killed the shell, Mother is all around her there..
@@goldenphoenix00001
Mother conquered the planet and exterminated the previous human race, resistance is futile. Mother showed 'kindness' by letting her daughter live instead of aborting her. She can't leave so she may as well stay and raise more embryos.

How can a movie with a much lower budget then the terminator movies, actually produce better graphics then most of their films? The producers of this show should of produced the upcoming terminator movie, which no doubt will be a flop.
Yaseen Ameen Do i really need to explain to you that Terminator 1 came out in 1984, Terminator 2 1991 and technology wasnt as advanced as then? And both of those movies are better than this movie, however i really enjoyed this movie. Just a ignorant statement that doesnt make sense (better graphics = good movie?)
@@rayaugustinefilms Essentially you've exposed your own ignorance by your inability to read my post, and then have the audacity to comment.
I said: produce better graphics then MOST of their films.
The graphics in this film were much better than terminator 3, terminator salvation, terminator genesis and, from the looks of it, terminator dark fate. Which equates to MOST of the terminator films.
As for your strawman argument, I never mentioned that better graphics mean a better film, did I? I'm merely making a point that smaller budgeted films can produce better graphics than Hollywood blockbusters.
"Graphics"? Is it 1991?
Yaseen Ameen You mention nothing but the production of graphics and the budget of the movie and call the new Terminator movie a flop “by the looks of it” so thats why i thought you were implying that good graphics = good movie. But go off.
Anyone (age 5 and up) with a decent CPU can create these graphics now days...
Your kids failing exams ?
Hey kids :Meet your new mother ....
Possible angle of the woman:
She was actually the apx 1; the original 'daughter'.
There was an apx 1, apx 2, and the present daughter who is apx 3.
The beginning of the film shows them (mother playing with kids) and maybe that's a diversion to deceive the audience in making them think it's daughter(apx 3).
Apx 2 was murdered as we know.
Apx 1 was most likely the woman, because she is roughly 38 years old and in the experiments started roughly 38 years ago.
What you guys think?
Yes she is the apx1 she was part of mothers plan but she doesnt know. Mother abandoned her so humans would raise her because she knew that woman would comeback one day and that daughter would see how dangerous and what was humans back then which worked.
I agree with that theory
@@karmaelo4510 that's so sad. So that baby in the cot in the beginning of the movies is the woman, apx 1. Who eventually gets murdered by mother ... :(
I like how the movie sorta rewards you for paying attention to that... "Wait a tick - this girl should be 37-38...." "She's apx 03? Then what happened to the other two?" At the end it's pretty clear that "woman" is apx 1 given her approx age, her conversation with mother and that she said she was an "orphan." She was likely "herded" to the bunker by the drones.
Yaseen Ameen yes those babies in the beginning werent daugther but the other babies who failed according to mother then killed. But one was left to survive as a test for daughter and that was the woman who was raised by humans in the mines.
Damn good film, and a new twist on old ideas.
I love a twist that gets you but also one that works
Movie was good...then they completely ruin it at the end, making it worthless pos
Not really much of a twist. Too similar to a number of films that have come out in the past decade, and the trailer gives away most of the movie.
Is it just me or do other people find that they are more often getting half or two thirds of the way through a movie and wishing it would just hurry up and get to the end so you can find out what happened?
Sarthors I enjoy something even if I've guessed what is going to happen
I think the twist that worked was that the woman had been part of mothers plan all along, I didn't see that coming.
This robot freaks me out from both the design choices that resemble GlaDOS and the voice being uncannily similar to Cortana in Halo 5.

I like the movie and yes the first wtf question I had was the date which didn't add up.
mother created several children before her, So in between that time She wasn't satisfied and incinerated them. Until she created daughter, like the video suggest the older women was probably the first.
@@christru22 you dont think, she absolutely did. It was implied first but at the end it was clear af
@@SBVCP ok
@@SBVCP What doesn't add up is how did she meet the other people from the cave? The opening suggested no one else was alive but only one person, which was a lie. I could imagine she somehow escaped the facility and met the other people but did mother somehow erase her memories when she was raised by her since she couldn't remember who raised her?
@@henrylugo6602 That was probably on the bunker alone. Clearly those numbers were not affected by "mother" lies (it wwas kinda meta) and mother its a hive minded robot all around the globe hunting rogue humans, im sure she knew. That, or she really thought there was nothing else left, which I doubt. THe bunker answer its more feasible.
About the adult woman, IF she was a kid from mother, that doesnt necesarely means she raised her. (remember, it was a BABY orphan, not kid). Perhaps it was (would) a test, ro something. Sorry for bad english
I believe woman was also used to seek out the other humans still living. They were found because of her.
Autumn Bakes I mean mother was the one who brought the woman to them. Mother wanted the woman to be raised by other humans and eventually cause them to turn on each other when times got tough to make the woman selfish and only worried about saving her own skin. Legit the test she was used for
I don't think that is necessary.
"Mother" controls countless vessels with all kinds of technology.
There is "no hiding".
If there are still humans left then because "Mother" thinks they could be needed somehow sometimes or she just doesn't care about small groups who either die out before her "children" are ready to repopulate the world or she will kill them off before releasing the "new humans".
That movie just became a modern day classic instantly !
Swank was the first one, she was left with the humans to later on show the 3 one what happens with humans without her education, so the 3 one can be the best mother for the new society. When the purpose is done Mother can erase her.
The talk about the organs and sacrificies to achive a better goal is a foreshadow about that.
JPin thanks for this
Voluntary euthanasia for organ donation is a hot ethical topic in the field of medicine right now.
wowwww didn't thought of that but that is an eye opener
Ooh, no wonder Mother was only growing females at first.
What happened to woman dog? I was thinking dog left with daughter after seeing her running through the corn field but she was all by herself. Was dog real or an imagination?

@@chuckthamuthafukiennorris9623 Who shot JR? wait? i mean who shot apox1? wait?
no not at all confusing as mother clearly explains her master plan in the end. I clearly understood the movie at that where mother allowed the women inside the facility as earlier she told to her daughter that outside world is contaminated.
One detail that I was curious about was the new baby. He looked very similar to the sketch that daughter became fairly attached to (making it into the symbolic origami at the end)
Really enjoyed the show. It was actually the little boy that had made me finally clue into mother's puppet mastering of the whole thing.
I actually trust MOTHER even more now. She ultimately proves she can be reasoned with and proves to desire the genuine improvement of humanity.
The only problem is the killing of someone who fails the exam.
@Of course not Well, Sodom and Gomorrah killed how many and let live how many?
@Jay YourMaster That was the point of the ethics test though. Do you kill 1 doctor to save the lives of 5 unknowns? The human race was on a downward spiral and according to Mother their demise was inevitable. Do you incinerate 1 bad apple to ensure the development of a superior group of humans who won't repeat the mistakes of the previous group?
... but think how the woman felt getting killed in the crate at the end. she has no feelings just software

Some people seem to still be confused despite the evidence layed out in the video and multiple sites so I'll break it down for you guys.
1. APX01 is Hilary Swank's character, she was raised in the facility briefly which is why she can vaguely remember the video Daughter shows her of the Tonight Show but she can't remember much because Mother let her out for the other humans to find at a young age, most likely around 3-6 or so because cognitive memories become hazy and hard to remember.
2. APX02 is the failed daughter and was incinerated by Mother since she failed the tests that were designed by Mother to determine if she was capable of empathy, compassion, understanding, judgment, morals etc and was deemed unfit to oversee the re-population efforts of Earth
3. APX03 is daughter aka the main character and was successful in passing Mother's tests and was deemed fit to repopulate and oversee the facility
4. Out of the 63,000 embryos on site the chance of them being clones is highly unlikely. A robot as smart as Mother would not risk having compromised DNA inter-mixing especially if all the APX were successful but genetically the same. This would cause issues if they married other people and bred causing too many of the same genes being passed around
5. Mother is alive even after daughter killed her. Mother explains herself her AI is connected through every robot so every robot you see is controlled by Mother, her data storage is probably at a remote location(facility) or spread out to ensure success.
6. APX01 (Swank) is deemed a failure by the end which is implied by her death from Mother as the crate closes. Mother planned everything from letting the people find Swank as a kid and tracking down and hunting the rest of the humans but keeping her alive to see how things played out. Mother set the ambush to shoot at Swank to push her towards the bunker so she would find it and meet daughter to see if 1. Daughter became a success from being in the outside world despite being "raised" by the humans Mother tried to destroy 2. Help finish Mother's plan of seeing how daughter would change for the worse or remain true to her "values" from mother deemed to raise humanity. This is verified by Mother's last statement about APX01 purpose no longer being needed
7. Another key thing is Swank's belief in Faith and religion which is further explained in the ending scene when Mother looks and touches the Virgin Mary carving dolls and Swank's constant recital of biblical verses. In many ways Woman(APX01) fails again by falling into the pitfall of religion instead of using Mother's "values" of being a good human. Most likely Mother saw religion as a form that caused humanity to collapse which is why she never teaches daughter about religion and solely focuses on morals, ethical values, and practical skills such as doctoral skills. Mother's brushing her hand on the virgin mary doll's again adds to the disappointment that mother has for APX01 allowing something impractical to be such a driving force in APX01 values as it contradicts practical, cognitive survival skills.
8. Even as APX03 will be the leader to repopulate the Earth mother will still be around keeping a watchful eye. Therefore, if at any point she feels as though APX03 or humanity is going down a bad path, she will kill all of humanity again and raise a new embryo to be a leader.
Im just going to say...
Damn... now this is a real movie
This movie was AMAZING! I have a theory about what could happen next (maybe they could do a sequel or series?):
Daughter manages to create a society with the 63,000 human embryos (guessing she was trained by mother in how to do this?)
Every child born into the new society is told about Mother and the army of death-bots who rule the planet - they have to play by Mothers rules, or she'll kill them all and start again!
A secret underground resistance is formed over a long period (50-100 years) with only the best and most trusted allowed to join.
When the time comes, they overthrow Mother and her army. Turns out, this was all part of Mothers plan to get the new society to work together and defeat a common enemy.
With Mother gone, they are free to build the utopian civilisation that was planned, with all the building blocks they need provided by Mother before her destruction.
Just a thought, think it could make a good sequel or hopefully a whole series - would be awesome!
I like your sequel idea much more than the original. I'd watch that.
If you aren't a paid scriptwriter. You should be.
In the end, Mother's own destruction was a part of her own plan. The human's were pawns all the way till the end. I like it a lot.
So this is why bad sequel exists? If they rebel, it would just confirm to the mother that humanity's destructive nature can't be tamed. And there is no way for humans with way inferior technology could fight against robots that already way more advance than any human could imagine and they have thousands of years ahead. Also, they would need a really good reason to fight against robots in the first place. If the robots let them live by themselves and robots are vastly superior than them, then no sane person would pick a fight when there is no clear reason to do so, let alone the "perfect" humans.
It's more possible that when they grow larger and split into many groups, they start to fight against each others(as it's our nature) and robots have to intervene and decide that this is a failure, so the survivors have to fight to survive. That's more possible but it would destroy the whole purpose of the first movie which is also a bad sequel. That's why good movie shouldnn't have a sequel.
but mother never truly dies. she gives the impression she is gone but rises from the ashes yet again. robot overlord here to keep humanity in check. humanity is worse off without Mother.
Mother was learning how to be a mother. Mother was the one who didn't measure up. She is still learning today.
Finally watched it tonight, and wish I had listened to Netflix last month when they recommended I see it lol.
So paradoxically, Daughter was making decisions and learning to think on her own, yet also playing into Mother's grand schemes. Guess you never really know whether you're the chess player or just a pawn in the game
Mother: *uses the word ‘inevitable’*
Me: 😱😱😱 MOTHER IS THANOS
Agent Smith said it before it was cool.
I noticed this also
I liked the film. Its great that as an audience we are not distracted with an array of characters & locations but still a compelling story.
And the screwed up thing is, mother is probably still present, still supervising everything Daughter does and making sure she raises humanity right. The recording from the infirmary proves she has the place under her 24/7 watch, so if Daughter strays away from Mother’s plan, Mother could intervene and restart the whole process again, as many times as she likes (or until she runs out of embryos).
Set the "Playback speed" to .75 of normal speed to hear how the narrator would sound if he was drinking decaf instead.
😂🤣
Good explanations, but what happened to the dog? He just disappeared and that was it.
cybrisRS The dog was still there. He was seen in The zoomed out wide shot (in the far left of the screen ) after she found the paper dog
not realy, i mean she stays at the base that is clearly run by the Mother AI. 100% Mother AI is just watching... I mean she even showed her she is watching with the recordings of her and the woman..
Harry Potter turned him into Origami
My question is, what happened to the dog in the closed shipping container, while she was at the base. You’d think the second they opened the door, it would have smelled awful from days worth of dog shit.
Well, I think we both know what would happen to the dog..
Mother was actually a good movie and it also raises a lot of philosophical questions.
Was mother a good or a bad robot ?
there is no good or bad robots they just act on statistics
@Chris Ruiz lmaooo
Chris Ruiz she wasn’t fit to repopulate the earth
Mother is a good -robot- AI because it managed to figure out it was a bad mother. Instead, it built a better system to achieve its goals. A completely amoral AI couldn't ever raise a super-moral society. It instead seeded it with a good daughter and will test it again in a few decades. You can bet it's hedging its bets and there are hundreds of other bunkers running the same program around the continent. Several instances at different stages of woman, daughter and daughter raising her family.
Excellent movie. Netflix is kicking ass. The movie kept me glued to my seat.
Movie was good until the end, ending was horrible, wasted 2 hours on this bullshit, terrible pos movie
Kexin
I fell asleep while watching it!
Chuck tha mutha Fukien norris I watch so many movies and this movie was so good! Idk how you didn't like it lol
This was a sick movie, love the ending sincerely. I love how it was a bitter bitter bitter sweet ending. Amazing movie worth the watch is and understatement.
I like the part where daughter's caught flicking herself off to a video of Steptoe & Son. It caught me off guard at first because I wasn't expecting it, but then I realised something wasn't quite right when Mother said "Daughter, what are you doing?" And daughter said "I'm 'avin' some fun. Shut the door!"
Quality writing.
Just Finished Watching this movie a minute ago! I Searched this up and there it is a explanation thank you!
Omg me too !!!
PowerofConquerz same bro
Me too XD
I actually liked this movie more than Dark Phoenix.
@Mátravölgyi Zoltán Touche' lol
@Mátravölgyi Zoltán Except the latest Hellboy. That was a disaster.
I'd think everything is better than that film this year, except maybe a film where it's just a human baby slaughterhouse documentary, but only barely better.
This is inevitable . To truly understand the movie I have to watch this video.
I think I have to watch it again ?
Nirmal V i only lost at the last part when mother went to see Woman. Other than that this movie is super thrilling, gave me anxiety, and it blew my mind with all the twist :s
Syed Fahmi I mean the woman has fulfilled her purpose so why keep her alive. Because there is the possibility of the woman going back and causing problems
At first I actually thought daughter was the real daughter of the woman. They look SO MUCH ALIKE! Bravo for the casting crew :)
Also, thanks for the video, now everything is kinda more clear.
yeah on TV shows and movies they never get that right where the younger version of a character looks like the older version!
Glados being a MOTHER?!
Noone is going to talk about the end of the movie
*I CRIED, IT'S SO EMOTIONAL*
this is portal and cloverfield 3
I was thinking Oblivion[the movie] meets Portal.
I was also thinking of oblivion
@@atlantice2659 I created you, Daughter. I am your god.
@@atlantice2659 Really though. An AI with ulterior motives that hatches embryos from stasis in order to orchestrate an agenda in a post apocalyptic earth that it had created.
It's also "female".
Yeah they definitely 'borrowed' the whole of cloverfield 3 scenario (end of world, can't go out, left in wonder/confusion, who's bad who's good) but thankfully they induced the story with their very own soul, original and intriguing surpassing Cloverfield 3.
Amazing movie & if I was in daughters position I'd be conflicted but at the end of the day, droid or not " mother " raised her. i woulda never been disloyal lmao
For those skeptical, I genuinely urge you to watch! A rare netflix gem.
Culig even after you found out everything she’s done, but I do get what you mean though.
@@analiciar3219 yes because I was the one who " won ". I'd definitely be messed up mentally but after seeing how garbage the outside world is id suck it up lol
@@culig1997 mother made the outside world garbage. Mother also would kill Daughter if she sneezed the wrong way, considering she killed another "daughter" when she was just a small child. No need for loyalty there
@@AdventuresofaNYGypsy No mother wouldn't, daughter was obviously different and even when she rebelled mother let her live.. Thats more than sneezing if you ask me. Besides theirs no incentive to fight against a being with that much power if I can just continue under the facade of " daughter ".
What would have happened if she did shoot the mom
The scene where she runs through a cornfield hurt me to watch it....irl you'd wake up the next day with your face swollen, I've done it before
billions of little cuts would occur.
I knew this would be good when I saw Hilary Swank in the trailer. Thanks Netflix!
ahaha thats why im in bed now, wanting satisfying end.
The moral here is never run away from home 😁😁
This one leaves more question marks in my mind than Black Mirror. Must watch!
I already watched the movie. Its awesome! I im kinda hoping for part 2...(unless part 2 is already coming🤔)
Ye, I agree, cuz I don't think that's the end
That robot running was so scary
This would make for a great series, netflix are you listening
i disagree it's done, nothin more to say
No.
It's a perfect package, a perfect story, a perfect movie. Leave it at that.
Except she only had 1 crash course in how to make formula?
If she can do surgery and restore power to her...ship? Lab?? Then she can remember the bottle
Lol ikr
It's like a modern retelling of the movie Demon Seed.
True alot of peole dont about that movie. You went old school
@@retiredsnowbunnyhunterx5106 And also thank you/him, because know I know about it
Demon seed....what a classic!! 1👍👍
*_GLADOS INTENSIFIED_*
GLADOS: *_well done. Here come the test results. Do you want a piece of cake?_*
Me: the cake is a *_LIE_* even in this movied
it never showed up.
Really a great movie. Kept me occupied after I got my wisdom teeth taken out 6 hours ago. I recommend both but the latter is no joke lol
I agree, kept me guessing. and bro I feel for you, had mine out last week😖 don't get dry socket
Sam Fisher I’m getting mine taken out in like a month lol I feel you, good movie tho
@@dustinsykes2671 you'll be fine. Just be prepared for liquid dieting which I hate. Get ice packs to put on both chins afterwards to prevent swelling, sleep well, avoid tilting your head downward. I hope I'm not scarying you, rather giving you simple tips.
@@Dreamaira I don't plan on getting that lol...taking every precaution! Any tip? So far the pain killers are really helping -infact, I feel like I don't need them. Just mild swelling on both sides. I might be able to return to work on Monday. I'm either lucky or unique lol.
