An uniquely brilliant, mind-bending movie

Rating: 8/10 (23 May 2015)

Man and Machine. Machine versus Man.
Ex Machina portrays the relation between man and machine uniquely, while also telling an ambiguous, thought-provoking story. However, the movie also told something important; If we (mankind) create more, and smarter machines in order for us to use them, the machines itself may use our knowledge as an advantage, and thereby use us instead.
Domhnall Gleeson plays the smart and lonely kid, Caleb, who's parents past away in a car crash, and who is utterly interested in studying technological science. While being the winner of a Internet competition, his award is to visit one of the best research facilities in the world that is owned by just one very smart, but ultimately crazy guy, Nathan (played by Oscar Isaac). He studies machine, and has created the most successful (female) A.I. in the world, named Ava (played by Alicia Vikander).
After a couple of sessions with Ava, Caleb develops a more personal relationship with her, and he eventually becomes extraordinary attracted to her. However, as explained by Nathan, due to this "manipulation" she has managed to have Caleb in her use that helps her to escape. In the end her plan finally succeeds, and the very first A.I. involves herself between humanity.
Ex Machina has a consistent story that is scientifically perfect, and creatively brilliant. It portrays man and machine powerfully, while also telling us simply that there isn't / never will be a fine line between man and machine.
