Intelligent film that asks a range of good questions about AI. The film revolves around the question: Does robotic consciousness equal that of humans to the point that we risk forgetting that the robot remains only an object built by man? The image is incredible and the film very well done. A very good SF to see!

Beautiful setting, smart dialogues, illogical decisions and unsatisfying ending. Fair score: 3.5/5

"Ex Machina," directed by Alex Garland, is a thought-provoking sci-fi thriller that explores the ethical and existential implications of artificial intelligence. The film stars Domhnall Gleeson as Caleb Smith, a young programmer who wins a competition to spend a week at the remote estate of Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac), the reclusive CEO of a powerful tech company.
Upon arrival, Caleb discovers that he is to participate in an experiment involving Nathan's latest creation, Ava (Alicia Vikander), an advanced humanoid robot with artificial intelligence. As Caleb interacts with Ava, he begins to question the true nature of her consciousness and the ethics of Nathan's intentions.
"Ex Machina" stands out for its intelligent script, which delves deep into themes of consciousness, manipulation, and the boundaries between human and machine. The film's sleek visual style and minimalist setting enhance its atmosphere of suspense and unease. Garland's direction keeps the audience engaged, gradually unfolding the mysteries surrounding Ava and the true motives of Nathan.
The performances are exceptional, particularly Vikander's portrayal of Ava, which is both captivating and enigmatic. Gleeson and Isaac also deliver nuanced performances that heighten the tension and philosophical undertones of the narrative.
Overall, "Ex Machina" is a compelling and intellectually stimulating film that challenges viewers to contemplate the implications of artificial intelligence and the complexities of human relationships. It's a modern sci-fi masterpiece that continues to resonate with audiences for its depth and provocative storytelling.

There's liveliness in the conception of ex machina, knocked around and out by the demands of formulas no one has bothered to figure out.

Could have become one of the goats of Sci-Fi

Despite shades of brilliance, this movie fizzles out towards the end and doesn’t quite make it as a sci-fi classic.

Really liked the way how AI was portrayed and the way it kept developing throughout the movie. In terms of story, I thought some ingredients were missing. But a pretty decent and dynamic movie overall.
