The Machine [March 2014]

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:

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.

Mmmk, this is now available on VOD for everyone, I beleve through Itunes and Amazon.  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.

Saw this recently.  I agree with you, it's a flawed, but entertaining movie.

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