Superb Sci fi movie

Rating: 8/10 (22 September 2016)

Ex Machina is without doubt the best movie to date dealing with the possibilities and problems of artificial intelligence. In his directorial debut, Alex Garland has made a Sci-fi masterpiece. Domhnall Gleeson plays a young computer programmer tasked with testing the intellect of Ava, an A.I robot (played by Alicia Vikander) through a series of discussions. There are only 3 main cast members, Domhnall Gleeson and Oscar Isaac who are both very good, and Alicia Vikander, who I think deserved an Oscar nomination for her portrayal of Ava, somehow conveying warmth without showing emotion. An intelligent thought provoking film that I would recommend to anyone.
