The ‘Isaac Asimov has lived in vain’ SUBSERVIENCE trailer.

Okay, so SUBSERVIENCE doesn’t look entirely bad, per se. But I swear to God, our great-grandchildren are going to find this entire genre of fascination with murderous androids and sexbots extremely quaint. I mean, why would the nannybot even have genitals? Or a sex drive? Or a need for self-preservation? Everything in that droid’s personality matrix was put in there, including the personality matrix.

Also: God, but modern movie tech is wasted on this era. I have no hopes from that R rating, even taking into consideration of it being VOD. If only the current state of the art was available during the halcyon days of the Skinemax Age…

  1. Disagree, this looks like a by-the-numbers script of stuff we’ve seen many, many times before. M3GAN, the Terminator franchise, V, Species, going all the way back to Shelly’s Frankenstein.

  2. Eh, the sense of self-preservation for a nanny bot I could see. Even Asimov made self-preservation his Third Law. No good answer for the other two though. 😒

    1. Can’t IMAGINE why a nanny bot has genitals, or a sex drive?

      Spoken like a man who’s never employed a nanny.

      1. Look, surely the plethora of movies explaining the general problems with sexbots should have at least SOME effect on them actually making sexbots, yes?

        1. Drilled down, sexbot is just the geek version of hot-but-crazy chick.

          All the sucker’s think the fun is worth it and somehow they’ll avoid having their car set on fire or their bits Buttafuco’ed*.

          *This is also intrinsically related to girls who belive they can ‘tame the bad boy’…. right up until their car gets totalled and their mammaries sport his autograph

        2. On the contrary, it demonstrates that there’s a market for sexbots.

          A cursory glance at the tech industry adequately shows that “should we do this?” is not a consideration. But “can we make money/gain market share/accrue power?” certainly are.

  3. OK, second attempt:

    Somebody played Detroit: Become Human and decided it would make a great movie.

  4. Hypothesis: we will make so many sexbots, that it will be cheaper to use an existing sexbot “frame” with just added software/firmware to do another job than it will be to design and build them for scratch.
