The Heart Machine

Not too bad and the idea is acceptable. I think someone smart could have known easily if she was nearby just by seeing the sunlight. That is my problem with it, both are not smart characters.

The writer director originally made a 17 minute short on this with some of the same cast. Clearly someone paid him to bulk this up to a feature length work. Problem is it's the same 17 minute film dragged out to 85 minutes with nothing new to add. It's slow and dull and leans heavily on mumblecore and hipster clichés of random dialog and in medias res scenes that have no beginning or context. You're supposed to be bored and baffled I guess. At any rate the dialog is weak and stupid because it's supposed to be real. But who wants to overhear random snippets of other people's lives? It does not a movie make. Of the two main characters, one is an obsessive paranoid and the other's a sociopath. But again that's supposed to be uber cool in hipster Bushwick. BTW is Bushwick really 100% upper class white kids? Well anyway as others have noted the plot is very simple the characters are all extremely odd and the whole thing is totally pointless. Add to that a lot of shakycam and closeups of phone and laptop screens and you'll be left wondering why this didn't stay a 17 short.

I very seldom have ever had a really bad reaction to a movie...but this one did it for me! I ended up speeding it up...morbidly curious as to how it would end. This movie was so miserably dark and depressing that any 'lesson' that could have been had in regards to using the internet for 'romance' was totally lost... Granted, it may be a good idea to 'teach' people to be cautious and sensible when it comes to searching the internet for romance... But these characters...especially that of the girl's...was so emotionally a total wreck, that it was a poorly presented lesson. Yes, there are some sick minds out there...but instead of this movie showing the dangers of internet romance...it seemed to only emphasize the disturbed and emotionally needy mind of the young woman.

the trailer looks cool, and my boyfriend and I watched it, I stayed through the movie only because my bf wanted to see whether the ending will be something surprising. But no, I would like to say this is the worst movie I've watched for awhile. I think this movie totally waist one and an half hour in my life. Its very slow, boring, and no deep meaning at all. Everything you can see from the movie is something already done before.

You will see this have high rating in rotten tomatoes and shows up in apple TV. Just let you know, I saw apple brand in the movie for many times. From now on i think I won't trust what apple TV recommended anymore.
