Ex Machina was a cinematic
breath of fresh air. It's rare these days to get a sci-fi thriller
that relies more on the strength of its characters and the intrigue of the
story than flashy over the top computer graphics.
Wide-eyed optimist
Caleb, played by Domhnall Gleeson is the perfect foil to Oscar Isaac's brilliant,
eccentric and constantly drunk Nathan. Alicia Vikander delivers a performance
that expertly straddles the line between adorable hipster and devious android.
What truly set this
film apart from the pack is the visionary guidance of first time director Alex
Garland. Garland has written other mainstream hits (28 Days Later, Dredd) but
his directorial debut has truly been his finest hour. -Soss
