Want To See Appleseed: Ex Machina On The Big Screen for Free this Weekend?

If you've been wanting to see the John Woo produced cyborg war romance Appleseed: Ex Machina on the big screen, and you happen to live in New York, then this is your lucky day. We're giving away five pairs of tickets for a midnight screening of the movie at IFC Center in NYC for either Friday or Saturday night, take your pick. We've been vocal about our love for the movie, and although the movie will be out on DVD starting next Tuesday, it really takes a huge screen to appreciate the animation. Find out how you can take yourself and a friend (or just put your feet up) inside.

If we had the time, we might torture you again with another caption contest... but more than one a week might be a bit too taxing on the funnybone. So, if you want to win, please just let us know in the comments below. Please note that you need to live in or extremely close to New York City to take advantage of these, so enter only if you really plan on using these tickets.

We'll be providing a list of the winners to the organizers of the event, and they'll have your name on a list and you'll be good to go. Please note that we'll select the first five comments from folks in the NYC area who want to see the movie. For the rest of you, set your Netflix for Tuesday, March 11th, and enjoy.

I'm about 30 mins from NYC, and this sounds pretty solid. Sign me up.

@Orion_of_Chaos: If a day needs to be specified, I'm interested in Friday night, too much Smash Bros to worry about on Saturday at midnight.

And I thought Los Angeles was supposed to have special screenings [says the man who got to see Hot Fuzz hosted by Pegg, Frost, and Wright-with a special appearance by Dalton]

Literally live 4 blocks away, but not an anime guy, so don't want to take it from someone who'd appreciate it more. Hopefully next time!

I just watched the first one of these the other weekend with my roommate. We both live in the city and he'd be pretty stoked if I showed up with tickets. ::fingers crossed::

ex machina would have to be an very significant improvement over the first appleseed to be worth seeing.

Yes please! Yes please! I'm in the New York area and would love to go and see it. A last hurrah as it were.. I have a baby due in a few weeks and no more nights out for a while.

@tetracycloide:

first appleseed is great, but i thought the second was pure eye candy goodness. seeing this movie comming out, will probably watch both tonight.

I'll be in the city and see if there are tix available but winning off io9 would be great/ meeting others who go to this site. Created an account today just for this

Huge fan of the Manga and the two anime movies that came out for it. So awesome! I can't wait to get my fingers on these. *sigh* What is it with my obsession with Robots, Cyborgs, and femme fatales?
