Good sci-fi present the Terminators era so I haven't been surprised if I would have seen someone citating "I'll be back". Tension is rising slowly - this is not action movie where everything will be shot which moves.
Gives a bit different view to the future - recommended to all Terminator fans, there are still some months to wait Dark Fate.
In I Am Mother, a dulcet-toned robot raises a daughter in a bunker as part of an effort to recreate the human race which has succumbed to an extinction-level event. If it succeeds, then other embryos will be hatched and the real work can begin. That cozy world is upended when Hilary Swank shows up with information contrary to what Daughter has been told all her life. The tension comes from trying to figure out if Mother is sinister or simply over-protective (and whether Swank's character is truthful is also a matter of conjecture), and while unclear about it, the movie does have something to say about mother-daughter relationships, in particular around the time when the parent should be letting go, having done all they can, and allowing their child to become an adult, and a parent in their own right. The movie's a little slow-paced, and I found neither Rose Byrne (as the 'bot) nor Clara Ruugard particularly engaging, but Swank is quite good, and there are some cool twists and turns all the way to the end, so I'm not complaining.
