It's Called Artificial Intelligence for a Reason

Rating: 8/10 (9 January 2016)

This film takes artificial intelligence to a different level. Ex Machina is about a highly intelligent engineer who builds an artificial intelligent woman and allows one lucky technology whiz to come to his house and interact with this new robot being. Unfortunately things get complicated when the robot begins to develop feelings for the young tech whiz and he begins to develop feelings as well. This little group of actors were given almost very little to work with but made it work. Especially applauding the performance by Alicia Vikander as the artificial intelligent being. While some scenes were quite slow, the build to end of the film made those other scenes worth sitting through. The movie also puts you in a box just following these three people. You do feel though as if you are there with them experiencing this. This film was definitely well made though it slightly lacked in keeping the story at a good pace.
