The Machine

The Machine tries for a hard science fiction story about artificial intelligence more honestly than what a large studio would produce, and it mostly succeeds. Read @EinRand's comment about the visuals if you watch this movie a second time. In comparison, I thought that the audio art was done poorly; the synth music score and baby doll voice were symbolic but ultimately distracting.

Creating an artificial intelligence, but its intelligence beyond expected's the issue. Maybe the films about artificial intelligence that were made in the last 5 years might outnumber to those were made before that for centuries. Especially there are lots of B movies on this theme and some of them surpassed the film critics and the film fanatics' expectations. Here is another one, but this is a British film. Though one thing I don't understand is, in all these films they make the same mistakes. I mean the film characters recognising the AI as one of us which leads to a major disaster. Sets in the future, when the Chinese aggression towards the Taiwan made the west, especially Britain to counteract them in the region, they decide to build a most advanced AI. But when the scientist creates beyond what the military needed, the conflict of interest surface among them. From this, who gains what, and how the story ends comes in the latter part. Initially I liked it, but not the progression. It led nowhere, but the same crumble and a conflict between the man and the machine. I'm not saying the film was bad, but I blame the overcrowded films on this theme. The filmmakers have to start to think a different kind of storyline. Going advance like what AIs can do in the field than the initiation programmes which is too old for now and onwards. So that's where I disliked it, but not hated it. I hope you enjoyed it better than me or would do if you yet to try. 5/10

the movie is not that bad but it's very complex and boring, the atmosphere is very dark, you will continue saying to your self "it's a movie" the whole time watching it . if you like action sci-fi movies it's for you but it have zero humor plus it's very superficial .

I cannot recommend this move which is sad to say as I am a huge fan of all things cyberpunk. Yes it has good ideas and nice vfx but the director fails to pull it all together (poor acting also). The characters are paper thin and the relationships between the characters feel more like a means to an end for the writer rather than actual relationships with any meaning. If you have not seen Ex Machina, please go watch that masterpiece instead. Please don't waste 2 hours of your life on this movie.
