Ex Machina is a shallow EXperience

Rating: 5/10 (25 June 2015)

First of all, the plot of the movie is similar to all the robot like stories... A self aware robot or AI if you prefer, that want to survive, and to feel free, and to feel human... As all the movies related to the ex-machina themathic, this one tries to question, the right of man to act as god, if a type of intelligence has the right to have free will, and if we are worthy to be humans. But this movie is shallow and very slow paced. Movies like Spielbergs AI and Ridley Scotts blade runner being the best and even Automata, of Antonio Banderas that is a weak movie approach this questions in a better way.
The actors are not good enough, even her lacks the empathy to the audience. Gleeson and Isaac feel flat, hope they get better in the upcoming star wars movie. The movie doesn't have tension or suspense it should have. It is almost two hours of talking, with a very forgetfull script.
People praise the ending in the reviews, as being good and having a twist. I see the ending as dull one, with no tension or feelings. And it was kind of predictable, because it follows the logic of the movie. I never cared much if the robot fate was good or bad, because there was not to much emotion, or dramatic moments, that made me wonder what happens to her.
The few CGI scenes the movie has are well made, the robot characterization is good.
I saw this movie at home, and I'm happy that i did, this movie doe not deserve to pay a ticket. I give this movie a 5 out of 10, since it could have been done a lot better and much more interesting, even being a low budget movie with only three characters.
Want to see a movie with three characters, emotion and pace see Hard Candy, a movie with a very well written script
