I just wanted to say how much I thoroughly enjoyed reading this review and it gave me much more pleasure than being conned into going to see the actual film by my lecturer. You've not only added clarity to a murkily plotted film but also added great contextual points and bought a smile to my face and helped me write some brilliant answers to go throw at the lecturer in my seminar. Cheers.

There are a lot of problems with the machines: a machine that requires constant, high-stress interaction from a human to avoid exploding is probably not a good design. They're less "machines" and more like "fiendish death traps."

There are A LOT of ergonomic problems with Freder's turn on the "clock machine."
