THE MACHINE (2013)
There were several sci-fi movies that came out in 2013 now
cropping up on NETFLIX and other platforms. One of the most critically
acclaimed was THE MACHINE. In this one, an inventor is screening people for
intelligence and being able to make better machines because his daughter is
dying. The idea here is to either find a cure or find a way to get her brain
into a machine. So you know…this is sci-fi and the machine or robot is getting
the nod. Only of course we have an evil head of a company that wants to turn
his latest invention into a killing machine. In the course of this film, it
really is hard to figure out who the heck we are supposed to be rooting for.
The robots are going to be the future, man is the past, but we kinda feel sorry
for the robots…it’s basically stressing me out. We do have some really good
news though. Black Canary from ARROW is in this thing and she’s basically the
reason this movie really goes anywhere.
Toby Stephens (BLACK SAILS) does a
pretty standard job as the complex and often arrogant and unlikable inventor
Vincent. This movie isn’t without its action and its share of philosophical challenges
but ultimately it’s nothing we haven’t seen ala I ROBOT or TERMINATOR
SALVATION. Overall I have to give this
one a decent score for Caity Lotz performance but don’t go running to the
nearest streaming account to see what all the fuss is about. If you watch it
expecting a masterpiece, you will likely be disappointed.
