Reviews:
“An argument can be made that things move a little too quickly in the final moments. That being said, there are some nice callbacks and the further evolution of characters continues. Mother/Android may not be as sci-fi as the title would make a person believe, but it is still entertaining.” AIPT
“Even when Mother/Android effectively tugs at your heartstrings or makes you cringe from unexpected violence, it’s undermined by adhering too close to a conventional formula and arc. Tomlin competently directs, and the cast engenders empathy well, but this is a well-worn battle fought many times over within this subgenre.” Bloody Disgusting
“As a filmmaker, Tomlin (Solomon Grundy) does a good job with the chases, violence and suspense. But he’s too reluctant to abandon the Terminator voice-over narration and hard-pressed to do much that’s new or interesting with this survival quest plot […] But with Moretz here to ensure it’s at least a story we invest in, bringing emotional heft to the moments that beg for it…” Movie Nation
