Ex Machina

The film "Ex Machina" explores the power of artificial intelligence and the willingness of human mortality. This film is unique because of the reliance on limited characters to drive the story. There are only three main characters in the film, a mad inventor, a young tester, and Ava the robot. The games played by all characters create a startling drama that asks the question of existence. The film is shot mainly in one location and uses the gorgeous landscape to play off the dramatic encapsulment of all characters. The beauty and fear the film provokes leaves the viewer wanting more, and the seemingly real possibility of AI makes it even scarier.
