"Discover the new natural."

In a not-so-distant future, couples can share pregnancy on a more equal footing via detachable artificial wombs. While botanist Alvy has doubts about this new way of birthing babies, his love for Rachel prompts him to take a leap of faith.

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://www.msbreviews.com/movie-reviews/the-pod-generation-review-sundance-2023 "The Pod Generation features remarkable world-building and futuristic production design, but despite sharing thought-provoking yet repetitive, superficial messages about human evolution and advanced technology, it lacks a stronger emotional impact. Emilia Clarke and Chiwetel Ejiofor are VERY good, though." Rating: C+
