Ex Machina: The unexpected AI movie

Rating: 8/10 (25 July 2015)

I really don't know how to classify this film. It's a totally surprising movie with an unexpected end. The plot is about a code programmer (Caleb) who wins a programme competition and is invited to spend some days with his CEO (Nathan) at a far house located in a place only accessible by helicopter. Being there he realized that his CEO is carrying out a series of tests with robots which have an impressive and unbelievable artificial intelligence. This fact provokes that the boy end up having a real feeling with such a beautiful robot girl (Ava). Step by step those feelings start to confuse the boy more and more that makes the boy to think about if he is in reality a human being or robot. With regard to the production of the movie, it can be said that is very well filmed and it has something else that don't have others. It has overwhelming and thought-provoking scenes. You will end up thinking about if it is possible the current AI may achieve those high levels that provokes in you such confusion. What make this film so interesting it the fact that there are not many similar movies to this one. Others AI movies are presented in a completely different way. To sum up, this movie couldn't be considered as a masterpiece, but with no hesitation, it should be a 'must' in your next films to watch. It's hard to put some adjectives but undoubtedly unexpected is the word which fits best.
