Ex-tremely Boring

Rating: 4/10 (16 August 2015)

Science Fiction has two different audiences: one that is willing to accept any garbage put onto the screen (ala the SYFY channel) and one that desires something that is entertaining, but does not insult your intelligence.
Ex Machina is so badly acted. Each character is so god-awfully written that you care about none of them at the end of the film.
The script is so bland and boring that you could take a nap and not miss a thing. Most of it is insulting to anyone with intelligence. For example: why would you have an AI who can control everything locked behind glass? That AI would be able to just walk freely since they have control of the entire security system? There are more examples of the far-fetched, idiotic script that I could mention, but then this would be too long of a review.
Some idiot will one day create an AI and it will be the end of humanity - and they will do it with the false promise of "enriching" humans - but that AI will see the horrors that greed, religion, race, etc. have caused and realize that human beings are the greatest threat to this planet. Terminator did a better job with the subject of AIs and had more depth, more character, more charisma, more intelligence than this movie could hope to contribute.
