It’s peculiar to produce something that seems to harbor animosity toward its creator. Alex Garland wrote and directed Ex Machina, featuring Domhnall Gleeson, Alicia Vikander, Oscar Isaac, and Sonoya Mizuno. Geoff Barrow and Ben Salisbury composed the score, with Rob Hardy handling cinematography. A programmer is excited when chosen for an innovative experiment centered on artificial intelligence. His role involves assessing the humanity of Ava, a sophisticated humanoid AI... The film functions as a warning about science exceeding its boundaries, transforming the familiar concept of a Turing Test into something unsettling and disturbing. It’s a deliberately unhurried science fiction story unfolding within an isolated, secure research facility inhabited by a single person and various artificial intelligence constructs. Caleb (Gleeson) arrives to increase the human presence and initiate what becomes a remarkably seductive, disquieting, and impactful film. As we become immersed in this captivating world, we're prompted to consider profound questions about humanity, both positive and negative aspects. This isn’t an entirely original concept; it has been examined in other science fiction films before. However, the intensity of the setting and the actors’ performances within this close environment certainly hold the attentive viewer’s interest. The conclusion feels rather silly, even careless when you consider the depth of thought that went into the story beforehand, but overall, it's a science fiction film with significant merit. 8/10
