Another movie about AI. Compared with Chappie, which was reviewed not long ago, this movie is not lighthearted at all. On the contrary, the tone of the movie is quite dark and the ending is thought-provoking.

Caleb, a programmer, was chosen by the company's boss, Nathan, to come to his far-flung home (actually a super-lab) to take part in a seven-day test to see if Ava, the female robot created by Nathan, had artificial intelligence. Caleb and Ava met and chatted every day, and the two quickly fell in love with each other. When Caleb knew that Ava was just one of the incomplete experiments of Nathan's AI development, Caleb decided to rescue Ava and the two escaped together

... After watching the trailer of Ex Machina, I knew the development of the story, and I expected various endings in advance, but it turned out to be the one I didn't want to see. It is really difficult to judge whether Ava is a successful artificial intelligence. She has thoughts and feelings, but her thoughts and feelings are different from those of human beings. The reason for the final result is that Ava is not human after all? Or is she expecting freedom (like a human being) because she has been confined to a small space by humans? The answer is up to you to decide for yourself.

Ex Machina, a movie worth watching!

    Session 1-7, no dialogue criteria, no fixed storyboarding routines, and no sense of progress was made. The space presentation is too ordinary. There are many levels that Zhang Li can do, not every time the prospects give a face to Jingzi, everything will be fine.

Ex Machina quotes

  • Caleb: It's obvious, once I stop to think.

  • Nathan: [points to painting] You know this guy, right?

    Caleb: Jackson Pollock.

    Nathan: Jackson Pollock. That's right. The drip painter. Okay. He let his mind go blank, and his hand go where it wanted. Not deliberate, not random. Some place in between. They called it automatic art. Let's make this like Star Trek, okay? Engage intellect.

    Caleb: Excuse me?

    Nathan: I'm Kirk. Your head's the warp drive. Engage intellect. What if Pollock had reversed the challenge. What if instead of making art without thinking, he said, "You know what? I can't paint anything, unless I know exactly why I'm doing it." What would have happened?

    Caleb: He never would have made a single mark.

    Nathan: Yes! You see, there's my guy, there's my buddy, who thinks before he opens his mouth. He never would have made a single mark.

    Nathan: The challenge is not to act automatically. It's to find an action that is not automatic. From painting, to breathing, to talking, to fucking. To falling in love...

    Nathan: And for the record, Ava's not pretending to like you. And her flirting isn't an algorithm to fake you out. You're the first man she's met that isn't me. And I'm like her dad, right? Can you blame her for getting a crush on you?
