Good enough

Rating: 4/10 (19 October 2015)

A young programmer is selected to test a robot with artificial intelligence in a confidence residence. You can't expect less from the author of the cult book "The Beach". There is enough mystery and enough drama to fill the plot holes that the script leaves. The questions like 'can robots feel?' or 'are they dangerous?' are the main subject, as the mystery unfolds. The characters are let to seem complicated, but in the end they are simply odd and maybe rushy made. Nate, for example, is a man with secrets, but his behaviour and his actions don't reveal much. The ending, however, makes the whole movie worth watching. Is it a happy ending or a bitter sweet realisation of what is coming? Are robots that ruthless? Can they be controlled? The story of Ava never gets to deep into those matters, but it is an opening to a big conversation. So 4 out of 10.
