@rsula Mother was CGI. Even the babies and toddlers were CGI. They just based it on the performance of an actor inside a suit because they wanted reference material on how the lighting fell on the suit.

@rickay From a user on IMDB who explains the ending for everyone who didn't get this movie :-) My opinion, Great movie 8/10.<br /> <br /> [spoiler]<br /> I Am Mother (2019)<br /> 10/10<br /> No one noticed?! The women from outside is actually...<br /> 8 June 2019<br /> Warning: Spoilers<br /> The biggest plot twist which would explain the entire movie is given out right in the beginning and verified multiple times throughout, then again at the ending. [/spoiler]<br /> [spoiler]<br /> The '13867 days since extinction event' in the opening sequence indicates 38 years have past. Yet the daughter shown was only a teenager. That's because the women from outside was the 1st daughter ever... let me exlpain:<br /> During the middle of the film when the current daughter takes the exam + discovers that the robot mother had lied and killed 'failed' children before, it shows that her label is APX03, and APX02 have failed (incinerated), but 3 embryos were used from the lab... get it?<br /> The women from outside was APX01, the first "daughter", she matches the 38 years old timeline. Remember the robot said to her in the end "wonder why you survived this long out here as if someone had a purpose for you? Until now" Because she is the ultimate test to see if APX03 is truly ready to take on the role as mother for a new generation of humans (she returned hence passed the test so the robot left her alone). The women's memory was clearly altered/erased, that's why she totally couldn't respond when the robot said "Tell me... Do you remember your mother?" [/spoiler]<br /> <br /> [spoiler]<br /> Some more details... 1. The women sunk into a state of confusion when she saw the tonight show playing, and said she used to watch it a long time ago - her vague memories from living in the facility. She would never have seen it if she was out there for the whole 38 years. (Due to the end of civilization) 2. The women was meant to find the facility at that moment, everything was planned, including the bio suit, which obviously didn't need to exist otherwise. 3. This is speculation, but the women's artistic abilities might've been her training as a child. Remember the current daughter started prcating dancing since a young age? The robot recognized the importance of art and tries to incorporate that into each daughter's education. [/spoiler]<br /> [spoiler]<br /> I created this account cuz I couldn't stand how many morons are saying negative things about the movie... including critics, sadly. [/spoiler]
