Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
"The Machine" percolates with an elegantly palpable sense of wonder and danger.

rotten:
"The Machine" 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.
