Lily Sullivan topless in Soulm8te (2026) … and elsewhere

Soulm8te is an AI-gone-wrong story that takes place in the very near future. The goal of the AI company is to produce the physical incarnation of the disembodied intelligence that so many people seek for companionship. A lonely programmer agrees to beta-test one of the new models. He soon realizes that he is unsatisfied with the limitations of the program, which always obeys him, always agrees with him, and always tries to please him. Desiring a more natural human interaction, he alters the code to remove those limitations and safeguards.

I think you can guess how that turns out.

I mentioned in my review of “Antigone (This Play I Read in High School),” that it never paid off for the characters in classical Greek drama to ignore the warnings of the gods. For characters in contemporary films, ignoring the AI safeguards is the equivalent of ignoring the Greek gods.

Without having researched the film before watching it, I was expecting some kind of low-tech indie preach-fest, but is it more than that. Yes, you can easily predict both the plot twists and the underlying sermon, and the characters are stock film tropes, but such a facile evaluation doesn’t reflect the film’s merit. This is a slick, well-performed film that does a solid job at building and sustaining dramatic tension. In short, it may not be original, but after all, there are only so many new ideas. The key point is that it’s a solid movie, made by competent professionals.

In fact, it was supposed to be released to theaters this January, but it was withdrawn at the 11th hour. The story was to be the third chapter in the M3GAN universe, but when M3GAN 2.0 bombed at the box office last summer, Universal scuttled the Soulm8te roll-out, and even tried to shop it to other studios. There were no takers, which leads us to today, when the film can be streamed.

Lily has done nude and sexy scenes before, but not in the recent past, and this is the first time I’ve thought of her as a major babe.

Lily is an Aussie (she does a good job on the American accent), so you know that Dr. Johnny Moronic has covered her career in minute detail, including many non-nude appearances.
