A great refreshing sci fi

Rating: 8/10 (11 November 2015)

I have heard allot of good things about this film and I have finally seen it and this is a great film. The premise of this film sees a coder get invited to his eccentric bosses island to conduct a week long test on the first ever artificial intelligence. Now newcomer Alicia vikander plays ava the artificial intelligence and she does a fantastic job in this film. You truly buy her as this AI who is learning as the film progresses and becomes more and more interesting. Domnhall gleeson plays caleb the coder and he also does a really good job in this film as he is the guy that we see everything through and he is the most relatable character in the film. Oscar issac plays the eccentric nathan and he is really good in this film, you can tell that there is something a bit shady about the guy but he seems pretty likable in the film. Lets just say I can't wait to see both of these guys in star wars the force awakens. The story of this film is pretty interesting as you see this artificial intelligence grow as these two guys develop and grow. However, it does end up being a bit of a simple plot looking at humanity. Also I wasn't a huge fan of the ending of the film either. The script was really good with some funny witty dialogue that actually feels very natural and human like. The style of the film looks beautiful with all the cinematography coming across very well. However, there is a bit of a pacing issue in this film that slows the film down quite allot. Overall this is a great sci fi film that you should definitely see.
