Metacritic

60

Machine makes its look-to-the-future-not-the-past message as clear as a Grammy acceptance speech, but as an exploration of regret and the elusive quality of time, it falls well short of Memento, another film starring a sad-eyed Pearce.

There's something wrong with a time-travel movie that allows an audience's interest to drift so that we have time to worry over where he's parked, and whether he remembered to take his key.

A witless recycling of the H.G. Wells story from 1895, with the absurdity intact but the wonderment missing.
