Contrived solution to an apparently insoluble difficulty

Rating: Null/10 (19 July 2015)

NO SPOILERS UNTIL ADVERTISED I just completed watching this film after knowing the hype it created recently. This movie is not everyone's cup of tea. If you are reading this you either must be looking out for a good review or have come here to find some sort of closure after watching the ending.
To begin with, the movie is well crafted. I am not criticizing it's snail pacing, as it builds up the tension and bass usage for background music tightens up the tension. Nathan (Oscar Issac) is responsible for holding the interest of the audience. Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson) is just another clichÃ©' character and you find it difficult to root for him.
This film totally caches on one aspect - What happens next? The current events offer almost nothing, but raise the same questions which were previously raised by many AI films. Questions like, if an AI is really an AI? Does an AI make decisions for itself solely? Is an AI anti-human? People who have a little idea on AI will know that an AI sure knows how to respond to people, make decisions, doesn't have its own conscience. Its primary purpose is to learn and evolve which is why it is even invented in first place. (If this still hurts your brain think of it this way- A code written to perform will do task A). Yes we have seen what happens in movies when our characters try playing God. Adam and Eve story puppeteer-ed by humans usually doesn't end well.
Moving on to the plot, Caleb has so little to offer to Nathan. Nathan already knows the cunning nature of the AI, but Caleb just is another lab rat who helps Nathan in reinforcing Nathan's beliefs. And moving on to Ava, she is one of her kind (a better version actually ) designed to change the world as we know it and Caleb has to actually figure out if that thing is AI or not.
Performances in this film are great. Oscar Issac truly runs the show. It is because of him the tension even exists, his cool brainiac attitude and dialogues with Caleb put you in a baffling seats as in, you don't know if you are supposed to hate him or get charmed. Ava is well played by Alicia, with much charm and simplicity. Domhnall Gleeson is underused and also we don't tend to like the charter in general because of his insecurity and also he wouldn't do what he is supposed to.
SPOILERS BEGIN HERE To put the movie in a single line - A person(Nathan) who designed an AI (Awa) tests its authenticity by bringing a lab rat (Caleb) who terribly fails at his job meaning the AI actually worked.
But such an expert (Nathan) - Could not program Issac Asimov's three laws into an AI - A robot can never kill a human. Since this is an AI, it did. - Could never instruct his employees properly. The helicopter pilot can't even wait for the Caleb.
Ava - Could easily fix herself, train another robot, control the power of the place, but it cannot re-program the place and escape. - It can only kill the person with a knife, but it will not strangle Nathan by hitting in his balls or strangling him to find her freedom.
I agree that no movie is without sins, but this movie disguises these sins and tries to sell it.
The ending is absurd.
(I apologize for spelling and grammar mistakes in my review)
I hope you enjoyed the great moments of this film! Cheers!
My Rating 6.8
