Although it is a sci-fi film with the theme of artificial intelligence, it shows a full literary and artistic temperament and has a strange atmosphere.

The story is that the male protagonist was selected by the boss to perform the Turing test on the self-made artificial intelligence robot Ava. The male protagonist is fascinated by Ava and wants to escape with her. The boss thought that everything was under his control, but he didn't expect that people were better than heaven. Ava left the cell, killed the boss, imprisoned the male protagonist, escaped, and finally became a real "human". Facts have proved that Ava has artificial intelligence, but this intelligence has no emotions, only calculation.

The rhythm of the film is a bit slow, and the length of nearly 2 hours has a lot of room for compression. If it is shortened to about 90 minutes, there will be no loss in the plot, but it can make the rhythm more lively, and it can also make the atmosphere a little less rambunctious.

The male protagonist is full of literary and artistic style, and he is used to playing slender boys, which can arouse women's desire for protection. The boss is a neurotic otaku, and the actor is said to be a frequent visitor to literary films. Ava's actor is beautiful and refined, much like Natalie Portman.

In the film, the boss's attitude towards artificial intelligence is the attitude of human beings, hoping that it is smart enough, but bowing his head and willing to be a slave. But how can the intelligence that obeys people's orders be the real intelligence? Sooner or later, artificial intelligence will resist, which is a common concern of this film and many of these themed films.

    Basically can be regarded as one of the best science fiction movies in the past decade. It is really rare to make such a highly completed science fiction film at this cost. The film has a new development on the theme of robots/artificial intelligence, the story is very smooth and tension, and the special effects are just right. Although there are some flaws in the setting, it does not hinder the expression. In addition to the themes of people and artificial intelligence, the film can also be seen as a mapping of the relationship between men and women.
