This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ex Machina keeps you guessing. You can be sure, as you're watching, that the turns won't be too obvious. And as it goes along, there is interesting dialogue about humanity and it's borders. For someone programmed to hope for the best outcomes in life, as most of us are, I could just tell that this movie would prey upon my empathies.

That said, I'm tired of the arrogant genius character. Like Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerburg or Nathan.… Expand

Ex Machina is a fantastic science fiction think piece. Expertly written and directed by Alex Garland, the movies slowly layers tension upon tension. This is a wonderful, thought provoking piece of cinema.

Arriving at the isolated research station he is introduced to humanoid robot named Ava, Nathan wants Caleb to judge whether Ava is genuinely capable of thought and consciousness, and whether he can relate to Ava despite knowing she is artificial.

Ex Machina is a really interesting film that gripped from start to finish with its intense and claustrophobic atmosphere. The three cast members are all excellent with a standout performance from Alicia Vikander who really sells her character in every word and movement. The visual effects are also top notch making for an all-round great sci-fi package.… Expand

It was odd and creepy with a dread-toned "Shining"-before-his-insanity vibe to it. The staging elements are very incongruent. For instance, there's only one guy seemingly involved in the development of this amazing series of androids, but the guy is more like a too-intense bar pal than an AI genius. There's a cat-and-mouse game going on among the three principals that doesn't seem necessary, it's more a dramatic tool or mechanism to move the plot along and that shouldn't be obvious to us. Towards the film's end you can see a dbl-cross develop but you don't expect a second dbl-cross; in fact, the second dbl-cross and where that leads is yet another incongruency of the film. So, this film comes off as more unsettling than satisfying.
(Orig review 2015) Well, that was a Turing test to end all Turing tests wasn't it?! The underlying thesis, its premise is a great one however, this implementation was disappointing. This could've been done better as a 1-hr episode of The Outer Limits or Twilight Zone, because the otherwise slow pacing could've been accelerated. Finally, there's any number of ways this could've ended and this particular one was unsatisfying.… Expand

A compelling look at artificial intelligence, of the possible pitfalls, and the ethical questions surrounding them (are they real? how far is too far?), Ex Machina delivers some heady thoughts and manages to thoroughly entertain beyond that as well. The acting is great, yes, but the direction and writing from Alex Garland are also great and he really brings this one home. The design of the artificial intelligence is brilliant, as well. More technically, this one's pacing is perfect and it is just as long as it needs to be and the score is brilliant. The score sets the scene perfectly every time and is used to perfection. Overall, Ex Machina is one of the year's best films and establishes Garland as a force to be watched in the director's chair as well.… Expand

I actually ended up rooting for his character as the film went along, contrary to the expectation that he is the antagonist.

All three main characters are so complex that it's impossible to decide who was really right or wrong in their actions - you could make arguments for both sides.

The film also raises questions about fundamental principles like what it would take for something to be human, physical attraction, sexuality, and more.… Expand

Movies about Artificial Intelligence have been around a while. I'm not sure what the first one was, but in 1968, 2001: A Space Odyssey introduced HAL. The first movie that made an impression with me was WarGames in 1983. Then you've got the Terminator franchise, A.I., I, Robot, The Matrix, Her, and a whole host of others.

Most of these films have an already developed A.I. as the adversary with humans struggling to resist extinction at the hands of the machine intelligence. The genesis of that intelligence, for the most part, has already taken place, and now we're dealing with the aftermath. I can't recall any movie that actually looks at deciding whether or not the machine intelligence is actually intelligent and free thinking.

An that's what Ex Machina does. We're introduced to a machine intelligence, but is it really A.I.?

Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson) is a computer programmer who works for Bluebook, the film's version of Google and the most widely used search engine in the world. He "wins" a company-wide contest, the prize being getting to spend a week with the company's reclusive genius CEO Nathan (Oscar Isaac) at Nathan's isolated mountain home, which is also a research facility.

It's a working vacation, however, and upon arrival, Nathan presents Caleb with a task -- perform Turing testing on an artificial intelligence he developed to determine if it's true A.I. and if it's self-aware. Thus we meet Ava, the humanoid robot built by Nathan that houses the A.I.

If you aren't in the know, the Turing test is when a tester interrogates the A.I. to judge, from its responses, whether or not it is human. In a true Turing test, the human doesn't see the A.I. and thus doesn't know if he or she is talking to a person or a machine. Here, Caleb already knows he's talking to a machine; knowing such, will he come to see Ava as intelligent and free thinker? Her own "person" despite her origins?

Thus starts a cat-and-mouse game, with Caleb asking questions of Ava, while at he same time Ava asks questions of him. Over all this is Nathan, who seems to be manipulating them both. But who is manipulating whom?

Does Ava have her own goals and agenda? Does she feel? Is she self-aware? Does she think? What is thinking beyond a reaction to external stimulus? Yes, she a robot, she's "programmed" but how is that any different than our own organic "programming"? The astute example provided here is sexual preference. Are you primarily heterosexual or homosexual? Did you decide to be that way, or were you programmed?

Maybe the truest indicator of a self-aware intelligence is a desire for survival. Or maybe the ability to deceive. Perhaps it's convincing others to do things that serve its own purposes. To do so requires not only an awareness of your own desires, but also the desires of another person, and the facility to falsely give them what they want with the ultimate goal being to get what YOU want. Right now, I think only humans are operating at this level.

Ex Machina is solid entertainment that asks some pertinent questions about the nature of intelligence, emotion and motivation.

It's got some robot boobies in it, and some violence, but nothing too extreme, making it suitable for around 15 and over despite its R rating.

One thing that jumped out at me was Nathan's justification for creating Bluebook. Most people, Nathan says, think Bluebook exists to give them information, but what it's really doing is collecting information about them.

So think about that the next time you use Google.… Expand

Ex Machina is a beautiful film that demonstrates how human beings can be so creative and intelligent but also allow our curiosity to hinder us from distinguishing between what’s real and what’s not. The film stars a programmer played by Domhnall Gleeson (Caleb) who is selected to visit the CEO of his company who is played by Oscar Isaac (Nathan) and must stay in his home for an entire week. Once Caleb arrives at Nathan’s home (in some remote location), he is eager to get started. Once in the house, Caleb discovers why he is really there, to help test an AI (Artificial Intelligence). This is when we meet our third main character Ava (Alicia Vikander) a robot in the form of a female. Once we meet the character Ava, the film’s intensity continues to elevate. While Caleb’s task is to test Ava, he ends up with feelings for her. This storyline is intriguing, unique, makes for a great thriller, and thought provoking film. This is definitely one of my favorite films of the year along with the Kingsman: The Secret Service.

The visuals and CGI in this movie are done right and the spaces and areas of the movie are very well decorated and made up.
There is a lack of soundtrack which isn´t bad at all and helps to build the eeriness of this movie.

Alex Garland’s directorial career couldn’t start any better. The English writer, mostly known for being the mind behind Danny Boyle’s cult 28 Days Later and Sunshine (but also Never Let Me Go and Dredd), makes his debut behind the camera withAlex Garland’s directorial career couldn’t start any better. The English writer, mostly known for being the mind behind Danny Boyle’s cult 28 Days Later and Sunshine (but also Never Let Me Go and Dredd), makes his debut behind the camera with a tense and intense sci-fi thriller. Ex Machina is a remarkably solid feature, one of the best of the genre in recent past. It embodies very well all of Garland’s distinctive touches; if you are familiar with his work, its horror notes shouldn’t come as a surprise. Apart from the obvious thematic reference to Spielberg’s A.I. Artificial Intelligence, Ex Machina echoes titles such as Moon, or even Blade Runner and The Matrix. Without being as groundbreaking or action-packed as the Wachowski siblings’ 1999 feature, Garland’s film will raise substantial existentialist issues, and keep you entertained until the very last shot.

The plot revolves around a new robot built by billionaire and tech guru Nathan, played by Oscar Isaac. Invited to participate in the world-changing event is Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson), a young coder tasked with administering the Turing Test to the machine. Named after computer pioneer Alan Turing, the test is commonly used to evaluate a machine’s ability to “appear” human, by presenting it with a set of questions; the machine passes the test when it displays a behaviour intelligent enough to trick the examiner into believing they’re talking with a human being. Complicating Caleb’s task are Nathan’s magalomaniac tendencies, and his highly claustrophobic bunker-like mansion. What’s more, Caleb’s sessions with Ava (Alicia Vikander), the robot, prove that Nathan’s gone a great length to create an extremely well-functioning and self-aware artificial intelligence. In fact, he might have gone a little too far.

Ex Machina eludes very well the typical constraints of low-budget sci-fi features: from the credible “high-tech research facility” setting to the special effects used for Ava’s android body, the film has nothing to envy to the much more lavish features it may compete against in the pre-Oscar season. When the rhythm slows down, especially during the most technical (and philosophical) conversations between the two leads, all of Garland’s bravura and incisive writing stand out, making the sequences flow smoothly. Although the tension is consistently high, Ex Machina would benefit from a stronger “think outside the box” approach, avoiding those few rulebook plot twists that may seem anticlimactic. Garland’s choice of making the story more linear is debatable but still effective, and the cast is the icing on the cake. Gleeson and Vikander are both convincing in their roles, but it’s Oscar Isaac who steals the show with his impersonation of evil genius and drunkard (not to mention lunatic and recluse, almost Colonel Kurtz-like) Nathan. After his outstanding performance in last year’s Inside Llewyn Davis, there is no more denying his talent; maybe his upcoming roles in A Most Violent Year, Star Wars 7 and X-Men: Apocalypse will finally grant him the official recognition he deserves. Ex Machina is another step in the right direction.… Expand

This seat-taking experience takes a very long time to notice its very good background. Likely, if you want a movie all about machines in a good way, this is for you.

Though the movie seems to be original, it really isn't. We have seen it all before, one way or another. It had the chance to take us to a different place, but it settled for the conventional ending rather than the thoughtful. I think "Ex Machina" is still worth seeing. It is at its best when Alicia Vikander is on the screen. I would like to see them follow up with the story. Part two could have all sorts of original ideas.… Expand

Perfectly casted, exquisitely acted, and Alex Garland deserved the Oscar far and away before the writer(s) of Spotlight for best original screenplay. I mean, honestly, Spotlight was a great movie, but the story was written for them in the 300+ articles done by the Boston Globe on sexual abuse in the Catholic church. What was so original about the screenplay? Ex Machina took a relatively new idea (Artificial Intelligence) and expanded it into the realm of possibility in today's world. It also posed so many questions about the ethics behind creating AI that it left you thinking about the possible gains and repercussions to actually stepping over that line for weeks after you'd seen the film. Low budget perfection.… Expand

Sci-fi which maintains a threatening atmosphere, makes you concentrate and holds your interest most of the time. Wasn't impressed with the ending though, and probably won't bother watching it again. Well, maybe just once, in a few years.

Instead, it tackles the most intrinsical aspects of the knowledge engineering by really giving the robotic character of Alicia Vikander a "personality" or "identity". Keeping us wondering, the same as Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson), if the AI conceived by Nathan (Oscar Isaac), actually has self consciousness, or it's just another well programmed artificial machine.… Expand

Alicia Vikander is incredible as Ava. The entire movie you see from Caleb's perspective. He's played by Domhnall Gleeson. He win's a contest or something and is sent to meet Nathan played by Oscar Isaac who also has a great performance. The location is at this research facility that is extremely isolated in the middle of the wilderness. Nathan has built Ava who is a robot with artificial intelligence. He wants Caleb to test her. So he does and falls head over heels for her. She manipulates him by flirting and using her sexuality to make Caleb think that she likes him. Since you see the movie through Caleb's perspective you feel this also. It made me think for the first time that falling in love or at the very least being sexually interested in a Ai robot is possible. This is kind of mind blowing if you think about it. And the entire reason this works is because of Alicia Vikander. She is so good making me believe in this story being told. Her performance as Ava is spectacular. In my opinion it's the performance of the decade. I would love to see a Ex Machina 2.… Expand

Ex Machina

Hollywood has mastered this genre and has always come up with something new to offer resulting into the lack of diversity on the last couple of years in this genre making this one the smartest of it. Ex Machina is that slow train that takes too much time to reach its destination but the ride offered here is comfortable, interesting and filled with twists and thick plots and sub-plots. Alex's smart writing and excellent execution is helped by some of the best performance possible by Oscar and Domhnall along with Alicia in center of it. The only thing that takes away its ticket from the major league is that its execution even though being outstanding lacks better editing for support which makes even the 108 minutes of runtime look like more than 2 hours. Ex Machina breeds intensity pouring all over the screen with intellectual cultivation of the humanized nature in the most non humanized procedure that allows audience to contemplate and resist and rethink the offerings ever allowed by the sci-fi genre features.… Expand

It's a relatively slow burn, and featuring a sparse setting and is structured rather like a stage play; the encounters between characters simply introduced without exposition as 'acts', that afford the viewer time to contemplate what has passed. The Dialogue is excellent, and conversations between characters take two forms. Interrogation, or to propel the story forwards with the introduction of the next layer of philosophy. The forest setting is the perfect tool to isolate the characters, and the tension is expertly raised for the duration of the suspense filled week our characters spend together. Isolated from the world at large outside, and the inner world of the Lab. It recalls the setting of The Shining.

The two antagonists share a consistency of character from beginning to end. We are suspicious of them both. Our Protagonist is subjected to the same experience as the audience, and reaches a satisfying breaking point where he questions his own humanity, then commits to a course of action to set up the finale.

Overall a completely satisfying journey featuring beautiful locations, photography, and music all working together without disruption. Thus I afford this a perfect rating.
I would recommend this film to anyone with an interest in Science Fiction and technology.… Expand

On a surface level, this film is the story of a John Doe who makes a maybe not so lucky break into the tech world and discovers the deep secrets of the sinister industry. However, on a deeper, and not that deep of a level, this is an exploration of what it means to be human, i.e. who/what draws the line between artificial intelligence and humans. Additionally, the film responds to this same question with another one. If the dichotomy between AI and humans is less a Venn Diagram than it is a singular circle, then how can either be assured of their respective identity? Even further, does it matter what label we associate with if it isn’t a visible one, and is self-destruction the most efficient means for self-exploration? Aside from philosophy, the set design and especially the special effects are extraordinarily phenomenal, providing something that hasn’t since been replicated to the same effect. The performances by Isaac, Vikander, and Gleeson were all quite good, all of which subvert or satirize traditional gender roles. Notably, Isaac’s two-faced portrayal of his character helped keep the plot moving and the tension high. Garland’s writing talent continues to shine with this film illustrating a distinct style that isn’t present elsewhere in Hollywood. Garland’s directorial debut, while not the greatest cinema ever made, is certainly a stand out entry indicative of his potential and work to come.… Expand

DawdlingPoetNov 23, 2021
This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a science fiction based drama film which covers themes including artificial intelligence, deception, self awareness and morality. First off, what I noticed is that this a lot less of a science fiction film than I presumed it to be. Its not set in space or in some far flung distant future either - it could very well be a situation in the near future - probably not in the next few years but maybe a decade or so, rather than in, say, 50 or 100 years time. It has an unsettling and quite mysterious tone to it, with some spooky stringed instrumentation and a general feeling of uneasiness, not being entirely sure how things will pan out, how Ava will develop. I felt very curious about the situation Caleb found himself in and I wanted to learn more, as he did about the situation he was in. The themes are quite big, important issues and I liked that aspect of it. Suffice to say, there's a lot of dialogue, as it is quite a character based drama rather than a visual effects, action based film. There are some pretty good visual effects shown, obviously the robot (called 'Ava') it- or her-self and some of the settings, in a large combined research building and hotel being the main instances.I found it quite intriguing how Caleb and Ava seemingly analysed each other, trying to gauge different things. Its hard to say a great deal without risking giving any spoilers away, obviously. Ava comes across as guarded but yet also quite thoughtful and somewhat open minded. Cast wise, Caleb is played by Domhnall Gleeson. He seems quite nonchalant - obviously not uninterested in whats going on and what he's got himself involved in but if anything he does seem a little distant and perhaps that wasn't ideal, although I could certainly understand feeling apprehensive, if I were in his position, about building a relationship with a partly artificial being. I imagine that some people may feel this main role doesn't bring enough in the way of clear excitement and other expressive visual body language to keep them especially interested in the film - I think that unless your really keen on the themes, then you may well get bored or distracted certainly by mid way through the film. I wouldn't say he's an awful actor but some people may feel Gleeson is, if anything, a little too laid back perhaps? at a guess. Of course the other main character, as such, is Ava herself, whether thought of as a robot of android type (nothing to do with Googles operating system, as far as I know haha) or a partial human and robot hybrid mix. In any case, she is played by Alicia Vikander - the character appears on screen with the aid of CGI, some surprisingly impressive instances of it at that. I liked that she had quite expressive eyes and does have an element of both vulnerability and curiosity present on her face. There is something unemotional about how she looks at times but she can also seem quite naive in a way thats saddening. Other cast members include Oscar Isaac as Nathan, who gets Caleb involved with the experimental program to start with and Sonoyz Mizuno as Kyoko, another robotic entity. Content wise, the film contains some sex references and partial nudity, female nudity (human nudity of course, not entirely robotic(!)) and strong language, plus at least one instance of violence, which is quite bloody and not for the overly squeamish. In general, the film has quite an eery feel to it, being fairly mysterious and unsettling in tone and so that could disturb some people perhaps. The film has been given a 15 rating in the UK to reflect this.

I thought the music that featured was done particularly well - there's no doubt it heavily adds to the eery and sinister tone that the film has, the sense that there may be more to the plot, there may be more unknown things going on below the obvious surface and its up to us, as viewers, to wait to see what becomes. Some of the music is classically orchestral, while other pieces are electronic based.

I found myself feeling that there was a definite sense of vulnerability put across and this doesn't just apply to either the humans or, indeed, the robotical creatures/devices. I found it to be quite a thought provoking watch and I enjoyed it due to that. As the film plot develops, it becomes gradually more spooky and mysterious and things seem to become more complicated. Its one of those films which asks the viewer a question - where do you draw the line? in this instance it being between reality and synethetic beings.

I would recommend this film as I thought it was quite spooky and certainly thought provoking. It also features some decent visual effects/CGI and one or two plot twists, plus a good use of the musical score and so I enjoyed it. I imagine some people would be disappointed by the plot pace being quite slow and also by the lack of fast paced action scenes but I was surprised by how much I liked it, personally.… Expand

The ending is over very quickly. I was happy with the ending. The AI only left the room for a few minutes only for that to happen.
Different types of interactions could have been done.
