Good sci-fi drama, but not sensationally good

Rating: 8/10 (25 May 2015)

Greetings from Lithuania.
"Ex Machina" (2015) is sci-fi drama with a few thriller elements. There isn't much action in this movie, dialogs do the action here. The plot is good and somehow fresh, but not an original one. Performances are good by Oscar Isaac and Alicia Vikander, but not so much from Domhnall Gleeson - he is just OK here. There aren't many special effects but they are done very well. There are some great ideas that asked in this movie, yet never really answered. In my case, i just wanted to see good movie, "Ex Machina" is a good one but ideas didn't really involved me.
Overall, "Ex Machina" is good sci-fi drama. Maybe it's a bit over-hyped when seeing critics reviews or very high IMDb rating, but nevertheless it's a solid picture. My vote was 7, but strong ending got the final vote for 8.
