Another movie about AI. Compared with Chappie, which was reviewed not long ago, this movie is not lighthearted at all. On the contrary, the tone of the movie is quite dark and the ending is thought-provoking.

Caleb, a programmer, was chosen by the company's boss, Nathan, to come to his far-flung home (actually a super-lab) to take part in a seven-day test to see if Ava, the female robot created by Nathan, had artificial intelligence. Caleb and Ava met and chatted every day, and the two quickly fell in love with each other. When Caleb knew that Ava was just one of the incomplete experiments of Nathan's AI development, Caleb decided to rescue Ava and the two escaped together

... After watching the trailer of Ex Machina, I knew the development of the story, and I expected various endings in advance, but it turned out to be the one I didn't want to see. It is really difficult to judge whether Ava is a successful artificial intelligence. She has thoughts and feelings, but her thoughts and feelings are different from those of human beings. The reason for the final result is that Ava is not human after all? Or is she expecting freedom (like a human being) because she has been confined to a small space by humans? The answer is up to you to decide for yourself.

Ex Machina, a movie worth watching!

    The dancing part is good. Ah, the girl is so beautiful. It turned out that the director was the screenwriter of the Never Let Me Go adaptation by Kazuo Ishiguro-it's really a little fresh and familiar-the editor and the excellent director, looking forward to next year's lost Southland Trilogy.

    There is not one of the most in-depth science fiction films in recent years. After the birth of super artificial intelligence, mankind is estimated to be almost over. This film is talking about another aspect, cleverness is mistaken by cleverness, and all human beings have to die.

Ex Machina quotes

  • Nathan: Man, but what a thing we've shared, huh? Something to tell our grandchildren, right?

    Caleb: After they've signed their NDAs.

    Nathan: [laughs] Yeah, their NDAs... Dude, you crack me up, man.

  • Caleb: Why did you give her sexuality? An AI doesn't need a gender. She could have been a grey box.

    Nathan: Actually I don't think that's true. Can you give an example of consciousness at any level, human or animal, that exists without a sexual dimension?

    Caleb: They have sexuality as an evolutionary reproductive need.

    Nathan: What imperative does a grey box have to interact with another grey box? Can consciousness exist without interaction? Anyway, sexuality is fun, man. If you're gonna exist, why not enjoy it? You want to remove the chance of her falling in love and fucking? And the answer to your real question, you bet she can fuck.

    Caleb: What?

    Nathan: In between her legs, there's an opening, with a concentration of sensors. You engage them in the right way, creates a pleasure response. So if you wanted to screw her, mechanically speaking, you could. And she'd enjoy it.

    Caleb: That wasn't my real question.

    Nathan: Oh, okay. Sorry.
