It’s worth admiring a movie that attempts to tell a story
of big ideas and deal with philosophical challenges, even if the execution
isn’t what one might consider perfect. If there’s at least a modicum of kill
and effort put into the craft of the storytelling and filmmaking, any missteps
are easy to gloss over. Alex Garand’s Ex
Machina, a science-fiction thriller takes the issue of artificial
intelligence and cuts to the core of meaning behind consciousness and, by
extension, humanity.
