Ex Machina - Classic cerebral sci fi.

Rating: 7/10 (22 August 2017)

Ex Machina is a well written and directed movie with some truly stunning visual effects that touches on some fairly relevant concepts regarding morality and AI advancement.
Plenty of negative reviews seem to fall into one of three categories:
1 - Just didn't like the movie. This appears to be the lowest number of reviews. (Genre, concept, execution, etc)
2 - Seemed to have a preconceived bias and by comments either didn't watch the film or only saw snippets. A moderate number of reviews.
3 - Seemed to follow an agenda with similar issues to 2. The highest number of negative reviews.
Why is it that movies when receiving negative reviews routinely see the reviewer suggesting that IMDb (or the reviewers therein) are being paid to give positive reviews? Are people that paranoid that their own blinkered viewpoint isn't validated so there's automatically a conspiracy to say something positive about a movie they didn't like?
Amusing, annoying and a facet, unfortunately, of social media.
One little note... If you're going to take time moaning about the quality of a movie and then finish with "well, shucks, at least ya'll saw plenty of purty Alaskan wilderness", do everyone a favour and google the bloody thing. It was filmed in Norway.
