Megan Fox Sizzles in Netflix’s “Insane” #1 Most Watched Thriller as a Submissive Robot
If movies have taught us anything, it’s that AI is coming for us, and we are woefully unprepared. Do we listen? Of course, we don’t. No, we just continue to replace humans with technology, blissfully unaware that Judgement Day is nigh. Sarah Connor would be so pissed.
Screenwriters Will Honley and April Maguire get it, though. They penned the script for the S.K. Dale-helmed thriller Subservience, which plays out very much like a cautionary tale about what the future holds if our collective fixation with artificial intelligence continues on its current trajectory.
The film in question features Megan Fox in a starring role and seems to be more than just a warning about the dangers of an over-reliance on technology. It seems the flick may be relatively entertaining as well. That’s what social media users are telling us, anyway. Netflix subscribers have taken to Twitter (don’t call it X) to share their reactions to the flick and many of them have been positive. Some praised the picture’s pacing and visuals, while others have drawn comparisons to influential cautionary tales like Terminator. Scope a sampling of said reactions below to see if you think the film may be your cup of tea.

What if we actually get to that point where AI robots do everything?? I really hope not ?
Subservience is a good movie, but it also makes you nervous to see what the future holds with artificial intelligence fr

This film marks the re-teaming of director S.K. Dale and star Megan Fox. The pair previously collaborated on the self-contained thriller Til Death.
Michele Morrone, Madeline Zima, and Matilda Firth round out the core cast of this prescient endeavor.
If you’re itching to see why the film is charting, head over to Netflix and give it a shot. If you keep your expectations in check, you may just have a good time with it. At worst, it’s an evergreen reminder to be cautious about putting your trust in newfangled gadgetry.
The setup for this Megan Fox thriller on Netflix goes like this:
When his wife becomes sick, a struggling father buys a lifelike AI android named Alice to help with the housework. Things seem fine until Alice suddenly becomes self-aware and wants everything its new family has to offer, including the affection of its owner.
