Ex Machina Review - 7/10
Ex Machina revolves around the intelligences of A.I. Oscar Isaac plays a character that has created a self aware robot. He owns the biggest search engine in the world and is also one of the smartest men on earth. He handpicks an employee who works for his company to come out to his secluded house in the middle of no where. This man's name is Caleb and he gets to test the robot and see just how smart she is.
Right away, when Caleb first arrives to the house and meets Nathan (Oscar Isaac), you get a sense that this guy may be hiding something. As the plot unfolds and we get to see more of this house and what's hidden inside the walls, you realize this man has a dark secret. Nathan and the robot named Ava, bond quickly and Ava develops feelings for him. This leads to Nathan snooping around the property for other clues.
The climax has a few twists that I enjoyed and the ending works perfectly. It was a good take on today's society and how we use so much technology. I wouldn't be surprised that if in the near future something like this is actually created.
