The Machine

The Machine is a 2013 science fiction/thriller film about two computer programmers who create cyborgs that are taken and used by the military. As is always the case -you'd think they'd learn- things don't end well. It stars Toby Stephens. This movie is thought-provoking and well-worth watching. This sound in this video drops out every once in a while but not enough to keep you from watching the movie.



The Guardian calls it "madly uneven". IndieWire says, "It’s a simple pleasure, but even in a simple movie, it’s fairly unique, establishing a vision not often seen in small-scale sci-fi." Den of Geek says, "Cult gem status surely beckons." Moria says, "The Machine has you captivated from the opening scenes."

Empire Online concludes with this: "Brimming with ideas and laudable ambition, it's well worth a look." Rotten Tomatoes has a critics rating of 76%.

    1. Spring is here! But my car's been in the shop, so I can't go to the gardens *sigh* Maybe tomorrow :)

  4. Was going to watch this one but the sound kept stopping and starting for me for some reason. Maybe I might see if I can find it on Netflix or somewhere else. :)

    1. I had trouble with the sound dropping out some but didn't have trouble watching it anyway. There's an auto-CC option that might help.
