Reminded me of several Kubrick films put together.

Rating: 9/10 (13 November 2015)

Great execution. Worth the time. I find it hard to say that these days. Has all the isolation of the Shining. As well as the stark look in places with the straight lines. The monolith in 2001 is Ava in this film. Ex Machina looks amazing on many levels...The lighting, the frame, the angles on the sets. Nice modular synthesizer sounds make up most of the sound track ala A Clockwork Orange. Very effective but never in the way. There are questions at the end which is a good thing in my book. This film conjures simultaneous feelings of horror and joy that linger long after viewing. If you wanted to be picky, you could find a few holes in the story line. They don't detract from the overall affect of this film. Again, worth the time.
