Wasn't sure what to expect with this movie, but as I like sci-fi and AI films I thought I'd give it a go, and I'm glad I did. Great fun, lots of laugh-out-loud moments as well as action and I particularly liked the baby-child-teenager developments of the newly sentient robot. No boring bits either. There are a few clichéd scenes which is why its 9 stars for me and not 10, but the rest of the film more than makes up for it. I can only assume the poor ratings this film has undeservedly attracted are down to the release timing and poor unrepresentative trailers, and maybe the title? I had no idea Sigourney Weaver and Hugh Jackman were in the film, and it didn't really make any difference, it didn't need them. I hope it grows in popularity through TV, it deserves to. Give it a go, you might have a great 2 hours... it's FUN people!

I've been thoroughly enjoying this dark gritty drama. All the leads are excellent, but Sarah Lancashire as the main police officer with a tragic family history, is outstanding. It started well then just got better and better with each episode and twist of the plot (and screw) having me on the edge of my seat. I've just watched what must be the penultimate episode and it has left me physically shaking - it was that convincing and shocking. It's hard to credit the complaint of mumbling by one reviewer. I can't recall even one line of script I didn't follow and it's usually something that bugs me. I'm so glad I've watched this series, it's got to be one of (if not the) best TV dramas of 2014.
