Title: The Machine [March 2014] Post by: Ghambit on February 21, 2014, 11:15:25 PM Not sure what happened to the old thread, so I guess this is a kinda sorta necro. New(er) HD trailer with release date was just put out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3E8s9GDwoBc http://themachinemovie.com/ I guess it's UK cinema and VOD release end of March, then dvd/blu-ray shortly after. Hopefully the US wont be region locked come VOD time.

Probably not worth a blu-ray purchase but it's definitely a movie worth watching. Good, simple yet strong, low-budget, british sci-fi-ethics movie. It's kind of a cheaper version of what would be a Bladerunner prequel (if I had to describe it). Even the music is vaguely similar. It's up to 79% on RT as well.
Do not look for a heck of a lot of pew-pew bang-splosion. This movie, like Bladerunner, is more of a dystopian thought experiment. That said, I found myself wanting at the end. The movie needed to be bigger; great premise kind of wasted on a small film, but a pretty good one nonetheless. Caity Lotz = awesome. At least in this type of role.

A few tweaks to the script and a bit bigger budget, and It could been in the same league as Bladerunner. |
