Review of Ex Machina (2015) by Killzon32 — 13 May 2015

Alright this movie is interesting, however the plot was just so... meh.

I love science fiction but this movie was a huge miss and the more I think about it the more I am disliking it.

Spoilers.

It starts off with some nerdy guy who gets selected for a project, he gets transported to a place in what seems to be far from society. He meets his boss which seems to be a bro and never likes talking about specifics because he made the AI using "magic" then the nerdy guy develops a bond with the ai in like 10 minutes of talking, the questions he asked are very stupid. Never did he once think that AI is something we shouldn't be messing with without huge safeguards including for a good programmer he never thought of the implications of the experiment. He ends up falling for her in like 5 interviews and he tries to help her escape. There is a part he cuts himself to see if hes a ai.... He didn't really show he was in pain even though he was cutting himself, I would expect it would hurt.

Then there is a part with the bro explaining it was all part of the plan, and then the nerdy guy is like HA I tricked you! I really did it before you knew and then the robot got them both!

Then the Bro boss meets the robot and the other AI stands still and he walks into it, Yeah that happens you ever back into a knife.. it doesn't do that, regardless its like a 2 minute exchange and she ends up stabbing him anyway.... Then she goes outside without any safeguards she just escapes without any effort.

This movie is worse then transcendence, Its not a horrible movie it just really lacks any actual thought of AI.

I don't rate movies very often, but this movie isn't very good.
