I re-watched Ex Machina last night,
A future flick from 2014. I enjoyed it but not ecstatically.
Basically about a gynoid called Ava, an imprisoned innocent and a megalomaniac, Ex M was an AI vision made when, unlike today, AI wasn't part of everything everywhere.
The film is good to look at: minimal, stark, clean and polished. The inside of the house is a pristine underground white rat maze like you'd see on Grand Designs. Outside it's a shack in a remote lush valley.
SPOILER! I found it awkwardly tense and ultimately a bit depressing, the robot killing it's captor in order to live in the real world, the innocent sacrificed.
Prescient it was and I'm still wondering what would an AI being like Ava do in a world full of humans?
It's probably not long before we find out.
Have you seen Ex Machina?
