Ex Machina
All of our advancements in cybernetics have solely been for one purpose: creating sex-bots.
Happily, the reclusive genius in this sci-fi film has come close.
When the CEO of the search engine company he works for selects Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson) to join him in his mountain retreat, the young programmer is apprehensive.
Caleb is welcomed to the compound by the eccentric scientist (Oscar Isaac), who is excited to have him there to conduct a Turing test on the female robot he has made: Ava (Alicia Vikander).
Believing he's just there to prove the machines A.I. capabilities, Caleb soon learns that his host wants him to prove that Ava is capable of something more than just convincing conversation.
Visually striking and mentally challenging, Ex Machina is an important benchmark in cyborg cinema with thoughtful performances and an engaging script.
Furthermore, when the sex-bots breakdown they can always be repurposed as war-machines.
