Nice Story But Some Problems

Rating: 6/10 (8 August 2015)

The story was pretty straight forward and the ending was fairly predictable. Acting was superb and the setting of Nathan's house was expertly done - it was a visually beautiful film and the special effects were top notch.
From watching the film, a few glaring problems arose that was hard for me to overcome: First, I have a hard time believing Nathan is this genius with a super high tech security system that works off card keys - why not have a hand or finger print scanner to eliminate unauthorized access? Second, again assuming Nathan's genius, certainly he would have some type of security in the case one of his machines escaped or attacked him - there is no way Nathan would have created machines dangerous to himself alone without safeguards, like wireless shut downs of the machines or why not program Ava to shut down if she was out of range of her room? Seems pretty easy considering the technology he had already created. I could not tell if Nathan was initially frightened by Ava getting out or afraid she would escape and be found out.
