Okay, but not epic, Sci-Fi Fantasy

"Ex Machina" (Latin for "god from the machine") met with mixed reviews upon it's release in April of 2015. And the Sci-Fi Fantasy Fable left me with decidedly mixed feelings after seeing it. I REALLY wanted to like this movie. I THOUGHT I was going to like this movie. As it turns out, I find myself certainly not hating the film, but not being entirely satisfied with it on the whole.
For after all the grandiose techno-jargon and psycho-socio babble between co-stars Oscar Isaac and Domhnall Gleeson as master and protégé computer coding nerds putting the finishing touches on an AI creation christened Ava (Alicia Vikander), what we are at last presented with is an age-old theme: "Be careful what you wish for, for you will surely GET it." Regrettably, in the case of this overblown story of machine rising up against man, we've gotten it all before.
The only wish is that there was more.
