In truth, this story is too philosophical and brain-engaging for many people. That's OK, they have a slew of Transformers movies they can watch instead, but thankfully every once in a while we get an Ex Machina. The screenplay of this movie is excellent and the plot moves along at a brisk pace, maintaining a thick atmosphere of uncertainty and distrust, which really keeps viewers hooked. There's a great deal of character misdirection and plot twists, leaving audiences never quite knowing where they stand or what will happen next. This carries through to the ending, which is pretty brutal. The movie is presented in stages of Caleb's sessions with Ava and with each session the plot escalates and the intricate web of lies is unravelled more.
It keeps viewers engaged and one the edge of their seats despite lack of action sequences. It additionally pauses for some quite beautiful scenes but with the flick of a switch turns abruptly dark.Įx Machina has a very small cast with just 3 main characters. Any other characters are considered extras. Oscar Isaac as the enigmatic CEO Nathan was convincing in his laid-back facade with deep-seeded brutality, Alicia Vikander mastered the role of robot Ava still becoming accustomed to her life and interactions with others, and Domhnall Gleeson was brilliant as a timid employee in the company of his hero, before switching to a cunning and suspicious renegade. Due to the minimal quantity of characters, Director Alex Garland can explore each one more deeply and meticulously.
Some genres intertwined in this masterpiece include thriller, drama, science fiction, romance, and light humour.
