Ex Machina – a second opinion

Originally published by The Movie Court.

A new review from Movie Man Mike.

Ex Machina.  A-.  What does it mean to be sentient?  I think, therefore, I am.  These are questions that are central themes of this film.  The film opens with Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson, known for playing Bill Weasley in the Harry Potter series) having won an special internship to work for the founder of the company he works for, which is a large internet company.  Caleb is whisked off to a remote location, where the reclusive founder, Nathan (Oscar Isaac), reveals that he believes he has developed a sentient android.  Caleb is tasked with testing the android to ascertain whether it is, in fact, sentient.  For Caleb, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  The dynamics that follow  between the very odd founder Nathan, Caleb, and the android are fascinating and surprising.  No spoilers here.  If you are a sci-fi fan, by all means, go see this film.  I, for one, can imagine all sorts of awesome sequels and I do hope that there will be one.  Performances by all the actors are terrific.
