Reviews

Pretty good science fiction, thinking about artificial intelligence, measuring the relationship between people and artificial intelligence. Different from similar themes in the past, the film has no big scenes, not big productions, but it is still shocking.

The premise of the movie is realistic with a poetic license. The essence of ai is well portrayed including the disregard for human life and emotions.

Writer Alex Garland makes his directorial début in this low budget independent feature. Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson) is a top notch but geeky computer programmer who has won a competition to spend a week at an isolated retreat of reclusive, eccentric and wealthy AI engineer Nathan (Oscar Isaac.

There have been a frightening string of films lately. Movies that sell themselves as an original, intelligent take on a topic (e.

About halfway through this, I noticed a sparkly smear on the left side of the screen. When I looked closer, I noticed that it had been left behind by the snail who had scooted along to the end of the film.

A great watch, will watch again, and definitely recommend.This is such a mind stimulating movie, and without exhausting me as I feel sometimes: instead of forcing you to comprehend things, it allows you to explore flights of fancy and possibility.

Just watched the BAFTA's and one of the nominees was this flick for outstanding effects. Knowing that it was a blah blah flick with not that much action I do gave it a try and I must say that it wasn't that bad after all.

Ex Machina is an exploration of a concept, but it does not rely on a gimmick or a twist. Because of the themes explored in the movie, like AI, and what it means to be human, it is not possible to surprise the audience with a big revelation regarding if someone is human or not.

There are genius scripts, and then there are scripts that are obviously written by genius. Ex Machina is an example of the latter.
