The Machine (2013)

"Works modestly well, but still wobbles trying to balance its "thinking man's sci-fi" aspirations against the need to placate less adventurous fans via standard action content."

"Despite some striking imagery and sterling FX work, Welsh writer/director Caradog W James' expert use of limited resources doesn't stretch as far as the subtlety-averse script."

"Good British sci-fis don't come along very often, so this stylish slice of a dystopian near-future should be welcomed by fans."

"James overflogs the what-is-the-nature-of-being-dead horse, but directs with brio."

"A classy slice of cerebral sci-fi with a literary-cinematic heritage stretching back through Blade Runner and Metropolis to Frankenstein."

"Brimming with ideas and laudable ambition, it's well worth a look."
