Spoiled Silicon

Rating: 5/10 (14 May 2015)

So there's a genius who lives "alone" in a fancy cabin some-where in the woods (Alaska i think). His hobbies include boxing, among other exercises, getting drunk, and secretly making sexy robots; whom he likes to torture via isolation, as well as fool around with.
Oh and then there's a programmer named Caleb, who works for the genius' company. For some reason he's randomly selected... no wait "chosen", to come to this cabin by way of helicopter. He's invited there to screen a supposed A.I. and see if it is really just that: self awareness, personality, all that jazz. I guess the Genius wants a third party to give him feed back on what he's made by doing a mock "turing test".
Over all the film panned out to be predictable and quite bland, like unseasoned fries without ketchup. It could have definitely used some sirracha, which makes everything taste better! Unfortunately the writer and director thought that the bad dialogue would be glossed over with CGI and cinematography... which were better aspects of the film, but that doesn't say much.
Ex Machina plays like a college student film. I recommend this movie to young hipsters who don't read science fiction novels and have not seen Blade Runner or A.I.
Dear makers of the film, having naked and semi-naked women pretending to be androids isn't that appealing. I mean most of us have seen naked people before any way. But, thankfully this movie didn't turn out to be "Fifty Shades of Robot".
If you want to see a good android movie or something else about Artificial Intelligence, i recommend seeing Automata, with Antonio Banderas. As well as A.I. or I, Robot if you haven't already seen them, better yet go watch Ghost in the Shell (the anime).
That's all i have to say Signing off...
