The Pod Generation Gives Emilia Clarke and Chiwetel Ejiofor a Challenging Sci-Fi Pregnancy

) is against this. A botanist in a world filled with holographic trees, he thinks babies should arrive the natural way. Which is convenient because he isn’t the one whose body would have to do that.

Amid a sea of super cool sci-fi technology and stellar production design, this debate about pregnancy and gender roles drives the early sections of the film. And it’s all very provocative and interesting. There’s healthy debate on both sides and lots of cool sci-fi touches along the way. Of course, there wouldn’t be much of a movie if Rachel and Alvy didn’t choose the pod—so they do, and then the movie gets even better.

At a certain point though, everything changes. The characters make some very uncharacteristically bad decisions, the movie kind of glosses over it all and before you know it, the credits are rolling. Truly, it’s almost shocking how a narrative with so much potential and care can go off the rails so quickly. It’s akin to writing the first 100 pages of a script on a computer and the last 20 in crayon.
