Ex Machina is an intense thought provoking science fiction thriller that touches on the subject of artificial intelligence, power, and human desire. A small programmer, Caleb, is the winner of a contest where he is supposed to test Ava, a humanoid robot of a reclusive tech genius Nathan.
Caleb receives disturbing revelations of manipulation, consciousness, and control as the Turing style tests are administered to him within an offsite facility. Slick imagery, sparse surroundings and spectral acting lead up to a chilling end as to what exactly it means to be human and who bears the responsibility when creation outsmarts its creator in a future that was created without a check on excess ambition.
