Derivative and deeply misogynistic

Rating: 1/10 (29 November 2015)

Ex Machina is not only an exceedingly derivative and misogynistic movie, it is anti-Semitic one. 29 Days Later is amazing; this movie is disturbing (and not in any useful and contemplative way). Spoilers: setting: stunning Mother Nature with "amniotic" water everywhere. Characters: two male gods, lily white & swarthy, encased in their safe from super nature goddess tiny house. Swarthy god is brilliant, yet can't be trusted & is drunk most of the time, lily white god will save the damsel AI, who looks about 14 & is see-through except for her breasts, rear end, & baby face. Never mind the gratuitous display of female bodies as only bodies (shaved in all the "right" places), consciousness in this movie is apparently being able to sexually trick a man into letting a woman out of her man-created cage. Men also come off terribly in this movie; however, they are not the victims, they are the "serial killer" and the "white knight." Garland is seeming rather Bible-centric in that Ex Machina is like a weird twist on the Adam & Eve narrative. It has nothing to do with AI and nothing to do with a "war of the sexes." One can't have a war of the sexes if one of the sexes is not in fact human and a prisoner.
