Really good but could have been better

Rating: 9/10 (8 March 2020)

The movie lacked the kind of intense, out-of-this-world, mind-blowing sci-fi stuff that I had expected, but perhaps that is how Alex Garland likes to keep his work realistic and engaging without all the visuals effects bells and whistles.
All in all, it's yet another great movie to cudgel up your brain as to what it really means to be human. This is was most salient when Caleb got so confused and disconcerted he started to think he might be an AI robot himself and cut his arm to see the blood for himself.
A truly phenomenal and ingenious masterpiece.
