Different Sci-Fi Film

Rating: 7/10 (16 May 2015)

The programmer Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson) wins an internal competition in the company that he works and is invited to spend one week in the real estate of company's owner Nathan (Oscar Isaac) in the mountains. On the arrival, Caleb finds that the place is a state-of-art facility and Nathan gives a non-disclosure contract to Caleb to sign. Then he explains that he is assigned to evaluate the reactions and emotions of artificial intelligence in a female body called Ava (Alicia Vikander). Caleb interviews Ava and she uses a power outage to tell him that he shall not trust on Nathan. Along the week, Caleb is involved by Ava and plots a scheme to let her flee from the facility. Meanwhile Nathan tells him that he has been manipulated by Ava. Who is telling the truth?
"Ex Machina" is a different sci-fi film with an original story. The plot is totally unpredictable and tense, despite the slow-pace that the story is developed. The special effects are impressive. The conclusion is open to many situations where Caleb may or may not be found and Ava will satisfy her desire to know the outside world in a corner of a street but she will certainly run out battery. My vote is seven
Title (Brazil): Not available.
