One day the AIs are going to look back on us the same way we look at fossil skeletons on the plains of Africa. An upright ape living in dust with crude language and tools, all set for extinction.
"Ex Machina" is a slow burn thriller retelling of the Pygmalion story that strives to ask the questions we have been asking since science fiction authors first dreamed about the implications of artificial intelligence more than one hundred years ago. Can a robot love? Can a robot hate? Can a robot replace a lover? Can a robot murder?
This is certainly not a film for everyone, and could have been near perfect in the hands of a more skilled director, but it is still worth the watch for anyone who prefers their science fiction thinking instead of exploding.
