When I sat down to watch the 2023 sci-fi thriller "Maid Droid", from writer and director Rich Mallery, I had never actually heard about the movie. But the movie's synopsis sounded interesting enough. And with it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to give the movie a chance.
I made it 49 minutes through the 91 minute runtime. Then I just had to give up out of sheer and utter boredom. The storyline was insanely slow paced and it felt more like writer and director Rich Mallery was more focused on showing nudity and pseudo-sex scenes rather than focusing on upkeeping the narrative. And the fact that nothing interesting happened in the 49 minutes that I endure, well that just caused me to give up on the ordeal. Trust me when I say that I am never bothering returning to attempt to watch the rest of the movie, because it was simply not worth the effort.
The acting performances in the movie were wooden and rigid. Now, I have seen worse acting performances in other movies, and while the actors and actresses in the movie weren't per se poor performers, then the performances were just devoid of life, commitment, heart and spirit. And that made for a rather bland and mundane viewing experience. Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with anyone on the cast list here. Nor were I inspired to venture out and tracking down other movies with the people on the cast list.
"Maid Droid" was a cluttered attempt of a movie, where there was too much focus on nudity and softcore sex scenes. And that is not really what I sit down to watch when I opt to watch a movie.
The movie is listed as a sci-fi thriller, well there wasn't much of any actual thrills to be seen on the screen; at least not in the 49 minutes of absolute boredom that I suffered through.
My rating of writer and director Rich Mallery's 2023 sci-fi thriller "Maid Droid" lands on a two out of ten stars.
