Review of Ex Machina (2015) by Lovemistress — 13 May 2015

Let me first off introduce myself a little, I'm a complete sucker for sci-fi movies and I was expecting the best from this movie, but this movie is a complete dis-service.

The problem for me already started with the character of "Nathan", who is completely one-dimensional and a total joke. Nathan is completely drunk most of the time and refuses to talk about anything technical. He actually had me convinced that aliens magically gave him the technology to print AI's, because he couldn't possibly have accomplished anything like that. Seriously, the guy is a technological illiterate.

To add on top of that, Ava, the main AI, might as well just be a regular woman who has been painted on to look like a robot. There's nothing about her that would make her an artificial intelligence or special in any sense. This also brings me back to Nathan, they just refuse to talk about how the AI works or how any of the artificial bodies are created. There's nothing. Everything just seemed to have magically popped out of nowhere.

Caleb being the naive protagonist of the movie is something I can understand, especially because it's explained later down the line.

And I don't even know how to feel about Nathan building a harem of **** robots for the sole purpose of having sex with.

This movie has been a complete waste of time for me, it's dull and solely exists on the basis that those AI's came out of ****ing nowhere with everyone refusing to explain on it.
