This Wal-Mart version of Ex Machina started off better than expected but then got worse and worse until it became so bad I suspect it was ashamed of itself at the end.

The British sci-fi thriller The Machine explores the age-old question of computer technology giving birth to artificial life. Set in a dystopian future where Britain and China are in a protracted world war, a MOD research scientist develops a neural network which he believes could be the key to creating artificial life. Caity Lotz stars as “The Machine” and gives an interesting performance. But, the script is pretty weak and does a poor job at explaining the war and how technology fits into it (other than the generic super-soldier cliché). There are also some leaps in logic and dropped subplots that add to the film’s unevenness. Yet while it’s problematic, The Machine does present some intriguing questions about man’s evolving relationship with technology.

>"How do I know that you're alive and not just a clever imitation of life?" Huge Ex Machina vibes but on a much lower budget. The premise and action is pretty good, but does leave you wishing you had a little more time to see things play out more.

**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 More

A disaster ... the effects are good, but the plot is very **forced** and closed ... very trite the subject of AI that becomes human ... there are other titles even recent that far exceed it, starting with "Yo Robot" (_to which does not even reach the heels_)!

I stumbled over this movie when casually browsing the Netflix catalog yesterday. The plot is fairly unoriginal one but it is one I would probably have liked it, if it would have been well implemented. Sadly it was not. It was not even a half arsed implementation. I am at loss to understand how this More
