If I knew you could create a robot this smoking hot I never would've majored in Communications.
In The Machine, a pair of scientists create the first fully intelligent android 
which is going to be used in a Cold War against China. When the android becomes active
things do not go according to plan. They may have actually created a new form of life
but poisonous shakes and man-eating sharks are forms of life and they are not always great for humanity.
Vincent is a brilliant scientist. He works fo the British Ministry of Defense
and combines computer technology with the human brain to restore brain damage soldiers
to active service. Ava has created the first independent thinking computer
and Vincent believes her work is the key to their next project.
This Cold War with the Chinese is based on technology so having an android capable 
of infiltrating their government could be the key to success.
Now Ava is not exactly happy working for the government. Too many dark secrets.
but for Vincent its all a means to an end, he just wants to cure his sick daughter.
After a horrible tragedy, the android becomes active and self-aware. It doesn't want to be just a weapon.
She wants more out of life. And like any woman its her prerogative to take it.
This is an interesting sci-fi drama that takes a look at the conflict and the relationship between
scientific achievement and war.
Toby Stephens plays Vincent and his character is emotionless a little bit, he's detatched
but that only leads to a very powerful emotional performance later on.
Caity Lotz does double duty here as Ava the scientist and as the android.
As the scientist she's charming and she's warm, but as the android she is eye-opening.
She brings this new form of life really to life with her facial expressions, her overall performance
and the physicality. She moves with human perfection when it comes to dancing,
small movements, and when its finally time to kick ass.
I went into The Machine expecting an action flick but I what I watched was more complex 
and I really fell into it. Using an intellectual plot and surprising performances
the movie delivers its own take on the dangers of creating life.
Now actress Caity Lotz got herself into unreal physical shape for this movie...
and she's...
you know naked in some...
I'm sorry- What?!
