A cyberthriller masterpiece.

Rating: 10/10 (27 June 2016)

This film is the most thought provoking piece of science fiction film since Blade Runner. Alex Garland brilliantly delivers a film Stanley Kubrick would have made for 5 million, and gives the audience credit by not spoon feeding themes. He puts the scenes out there, and encourages you to decide the topics for yourself. The characters are brilliant with Alicia Vikander as the android AVA giving a nuanced performance that will stun you. The Nathan character played by Oscar Isaac is a brilliant twist on the archetypal IT mogul. The visuals are a landmark and a masterclass of composition. Yes it's about thinking machines, yes it's about freewill and feminism, yes it's about the dehumanisation of the digital age. But it has so much more to offer. A must see.
