A young programmer is selected to participate in a ground-breaking experiment by the reclusive CEO of a company but it turns out uni-magined than he ever thought.
A crackling good entertainment, a brainy science fiction picture executed in a clean, concise style, with a narrative as logical as it is unpredictable.
[Isaac] is superb as a psychopathic Steve Jobs type in Ex Machina, a creepily sexualised but ultimately impressive little sci-fi thriller directed by the British novelist Alex Garland.
Alex Garland's Ex Machina uses a compelling, well-contained story to examine society's growing anxieties, something he's made a habit of doing throughout his career.
Garland's primary concern is his flesh-and-blood characters, even though they are not nearly as showy (or beautiful) as his main attraction, the vulnerable, delicate girl with a heart of steel and wires.
Alex Garland's Ex Machina is a chilling view of the future of AI, brought to captivating life through the performances of Isaac, Gleeson, and Vikander.
