From Ex-Machina to this non event ? ... How

Rating: 2/10 (20 March 2018)

Right, lets get something clear from the start ... Theres nothing new visually or thematically or intellectually here ... It is not a deep film for anyone but middle americans ... In fact its insultingly shallow for anyone who has a decent experience of world cinema ... Yes folks most films are not made in hollywooood ... I loved Ex-Machina and thought it was one of the best ( and most intelligent ) films I'd seen in a long time ... Perhaps my expectations were too high ... But frankly this film is a mediocre piece of sci fi tv ... It is not complex ... It is not clever ... Yes she is changed at the end, she has the other girls tattoo on her arm, so what ... Her and her husband are the invaders ... They should have left the meteor shower end in ... Then at least it would have had a Invasion of the Bodysnatchers feel to it ... Its nothing more than a mediocre b movie ... I can't understand how it happened ... Was there huge studio interference ? ... Did Garland go out partying and let the caterers make the film ? ... Who knows ? ... Quite frankly I just don't care, because I won't be wasting any more of my life on that non event
