Review of Ex Machina (2015) by Brenda J — 15 Sep 2015
Interesting setup, and it gets to harness the duplicity and suspense of humanoid robot stories, but it never explores its full potential and ends up coming down to the very familiar binary question of every other humanoid robot story.
Ex Machina presents us with gorgeous special effects and some of the best-looking androids you'll ever see, but also has the indie quality of a low-budget 3-person play whose dialogue isn't going to blow you away. Also, are we supposed to believe that a hyperintelligent guy who loves alcohol and has created his own humanoids HASN'T found a way to prevent hangovers?
