Dark Jedi 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 disappointing movie can hold a rating at 6.1 at IMDb at the time of me writing this.The movie is quite a low budget one. I can live with that. It is also quite dark. I can live with that as well. Unfortunately I found it to be a slow, boring, illogical and stupid mess. Of course it portrays the MoD as the stupid, arrogant and lying bad guys. No surprise there when it comes to most movie-making today. Been there, seen that. Wasn't fun the first time.The implementation of the plot is also just poor with lots of stupidity and plot holes. These potentially dangerous people seem to some times be locked up in cages and sometimes be roaming around pretty freely. The lost speech part is also laughable. The idea that a RD center should not discover that the subjects communicated between themselves is just stupid.As for the acting it is mediocre at best. Not really bad perhaps but certainly not very good either. It is really a low budget B-movie so this could perhaps have been swallowed but there is really not a single likable character in the entire movie. Almost everyone is an arse one way or another and the cyborg, who could have been interesting, is just… meh.The majority of the movie is one long, slow and dark ordeal. Once we finally get some action it is pure B-movie style shoot a lot and f- ck logic kind of action. The ending? The less said about it the better.For me this one was a waste of time.

Shirley Wu I was looking for a movie on artificial intelligence and I found this movie on Netflix. The poster looked great, though I thought I could ignore the summary on the cold war against China part, I still clicked on "play" because I was really looking forward to a wonderful movie on Artificial intelligence. But I had to stop watching at about 20 minutes or so, I just can't believe it's 2013 and people are still imagining a cold war against China. I'm Chinese Canadian grew up in the French part of Canada living in USA, I feel like the more I watch the movie the more I'm eager to have a war with my distant relatives in China. Seriously, please stop making cheap movies on imaginary enemies like China. I wanna watch a movie on artificial intelligence, not telling me to have a war with myself wow? Is this movie trying to tell us British people feel closer to machines instead to Chinese? Then there's a serious problem for humanity, it's serious!

Fluke_Skywalker Covers rather well worn territory about A.I. and really doesn't bring anything new to the table philosophically, but it's solidly made with good production values that belie its extremely low budget. The mood is set by the Vangelisesque score by Tom Raybould, clearly doing an homage to 'Blade Runner' (not the only tip of the cap to the latter in The Machine). Good turns from Toby Stephens and particularly Caity Lotz as the titular Machine. Also features Denis "Wedge" Lawson doing his best Jonathan Price impression.It's not a great film, but I think it's absolutely worth a watch for genre fans. For all others, your mileage may vary.
