Review of Ex Machina (2015) by Roshan P — 19 Aug 2016
An outstanding and thought-provoking movie about artificial intelligence.
What baffles me about this movie is how it managed to accomplish so much in terms of themes and messages while only using so little. The film only required 4 main actors, one location, some CGI for Vikander and that's basically it!
Keep in mind, this movie requires you to think deeply about a creature's self-awareness and what it means have a conscious. This isn't a movie that just spells out its themes or messages to you. You really have to pay attention to what it shows you (most notably the dialogue between Nathan and Caleb).
The directing was top-notch, the script was phenomenal, the acting superb, and the themes were kept relevant and were very well conveyed.
10/10.
