This movie felt like an episode from the Black Mirror series, in full lenght. Setup in a distant future where nature becomes a commodity, this movie shows an opposing couple aiming to bear a child. With the so many complications of having one in a women (like career, body figure or mood swings) she decided to bear a child via pod while the man with an opposing belief wants to do it naturally. Giving in the situation, the man decided to embrace the idea but as the months go near birth complications on how it would be born arrises.

All in all it was a good movie seeing the writers vision on how life would look like if technology becomes the center of it all.

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.

Not sure the reviews so far are grasping how close we are to this actually happening..this is essentially describing Ectogenesis look it up. That tech is almost ready, it's just waiting for the right moment in time ..which is coming!

Look up "demographic time bomb" birth rates ARE dropping to historic lows in most developed countries..by 2050 many are going to be in serious trouble with aging populations and not enough 'young blood' to sustain their economic systems.

Ignoring that the 'pods' wouldn't be mobile 'eggs' but plugged into banks of equipment in a laboratory setting this is almost a smiley face view of a future that glosses over many societal issues..but the premise of birth without needing a woman's womb is very real.

And as a woman's womb becomes 'redundant' so does the whole abortion debate! Which was one of the key drivers in needing this methodology in the first place..due to it artificially lowering birth rates to well below replacement level..

It also conveniently skirts around the main ethical issues involved in this tech, that of Eugenics and buying babies made to a customers (aka parent) specifications, or creating humans for 'spare part' surgeries. Humans as commodities to be bought and sold are called slaves, aren't they..or do you intend to allow technology advances to redefine that? ..which also means redefining YOU and your 'rights'..
