Best AI flick I have seen so far. Kudos Alex Garland.

Recently as Steven Hawking and Elon Musk warned the greater public that its most likely that a intelligent General become a danger to mankind in the long run. We have images of the doomday apocalyptic Skynet nuking the world, and most recently Marvel studios finally made the story arch of age of Ultron from the Avengers Marvel universe which has a similar violent avakening of an AI.
This movie treats the audience to the same theme in a much softer manner evoking human emotions of a seemingly naive innocent female AI, playing into the psyche like a thriller with three great personal character stories.
The story begins with as a employee Caleb Smith among many in the company genius Nathan Bateman, who invented the AI gets selected to take part in a truing test to fine tune this nth iteration called Ava. At a secret facility in Alaska we are greeted by a graceful feminine robot programmed to be a heterosexual female.
As the movie progresses Batesman's narcissistic personality with a practical witty outlook on like is revealed. Wit for wit is matched both Caleb and Ava's personality. With great classical science and Sci-fi references. With a strained relationship between Ava and her creator Garland, Caleb becomes the man conducting the test as well as a subject and a means to Galand and Ava.
It's much like who has a intellectual upper hand on who. A thrilling ride tot he end.
