Ex Machina

Rating: 8/10 (25 April 2016)

Ex Machina is a film that leads viewers down a dark and twisted path questioning what it means to be truly human, only to require that the audience find their own way back to reality. The cast of this film consists of three main characters. Caleb, played by Domhnall Gleeson, who is a guest invited to the estate to examine Ava, played by Alicia Vikander, who is an AI, Artificial intelligence, created by Nathan, played by Oscar Isaac, the owner of the estate and a well-known computer programmer. This film is rated R due to its rough nature and graphic content so it goes without saying that this is not a film for young children. Unfortunately, I cannot imagine creating a piece as powerful as this film in a form that is aimed at a younger audience. Due to the topics covered, there is a need to be as brutally realistic as possible to achieve the level of unit epiphany that occurs during the viewing of this motion picture. Ex Machina is an excellent science fiction film that doubles as a thriller. Packed with action, drama and romance this film creates an eerie uneasy atmosphere within the first few moments of film. This film is a brilliant example of the almost feasible reality that could be lurking in the near future.
