Re: Best surprise movie all year!
Good movie (7/10); and reasoning AI may not be to far into the future. Elon Musk is trying to sound an early alarm of potential adverse consequences. Like everything else technology can be both a blessing and a curse.

I had to watch it twice to understand why the AIs acted like they did. It was a nice house.

Re: Best surprise movie all year!
I thought it was a good movie, too. Very thoughtful and a few good twists in there.
And Koko wasn't too bad to look at, either...

Re: Best surprise movie all year!
A budget movie that holds up to multiple viewings.
The underlying sound track is great too, in home theaters with subs. This was the movie that blew a hole in my 100lb sub.
Good times....

Re: Best surprise movie all year!
Watched it last nigh and really liked it. I will have to watch it again though because I have questions. A few scenes I can't figure out, like when he cuts himself. I guess he was just checking to see if he was a machine. Great dialog and twists throughout.
I liked this almost as much as Splice
Ava was hot too

Re: Best surprise movie all year!
We both thought Ex Machina was a top movie 9/10 for us.
This future will happen. Get ready for the pleasure models. Human machine sex industry will be bigger than Google.
The Kama Sutra will certainly be rewritten.
