Interesting Concept
19 August 2023
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.
