In the near future, New York is driven by artificially intelligent assistants, therapists, and home housekeepers. When Rachel (Emilia Clarke) and Alvy (Chiwetel Ejiofor) decide to have a child, they opt to use a new egg-shaped pod technology to gestate the fetus, in 'The Pod Generation'.
The film is beautifully shot and the flow is solid. There are some interesting social and ethical dilemmas as to the future of technological advancements over nature and how to work in a modern society where everyone has a quota to meet. The film also does a decent job juggling the materal/paternal stances, since neither of them are physically pregnant, and delves into 'Junior' (1994) role reversals. The only real downside is there is no real conflict, save the fact that both the leads feel obligated to do what they contractually agreed to.
Worth a watch.
