Customer Ratings & Reviews

The concept of this movie was very interesting; it asks questions about the outcome of man's brilliance and hubris. Quite intriguing. While the pacing of the movie is a bit slow in places, the special and visual effects create a believable (and scary) environment. Really impressive.

This one will twist your mind for sure but it won the oscar for best visual effects...that's enough reason to check it out there but the real question is where is the sequel to this...This movie is what AI wishes it could have been lol.

Though not Sci-Fi as far as set-in-the-future, out-of-this-world, space opera, Ex Machina provides a great story with outstanding special effects. With a couple of twists and a surprise ending that cries for a sequel or even a complete movie or TV series, Ex Machina will keep you thinking and wondering.

Classic sci-fi themes (think Asimov, Niven, Dick) with a bit of Blade Runner mixed in. Beautifully shot, well acted and full of - at least to me, surprises. Absolutely worth a rental, and if you're like me and watch movies more than a couple times, doubly so worth the purchase.

Thoughtful and very well produced. A sci-fi picture which raises some interesting questions about AI and the human thinking behind it. An extended version of the Turing Test ... with immediate implications. Not as fast-paced as Blade Runnner but a great pic nonetheless.

If you want to get a glimpse of what the future might be like you need to watch the movie, Ex Machina. It creates some interesting philosophical questions about how far we should take technology. The movie leaves you feeling intrigued but also afraid of future. The movie is well-done at all levels.

This movie is some what identical to the movie machine but I think the machine was a little better with that being said I did like this movie alot you almost forget your watching a movie because it draws you in you feel like what your watching is real but I didn't like the ending

A very interesting concept for a story. Ava is an amazing character in this movie and the concept of maybe falling in love with something that is not truly human is the question.

I first remember seeing previews for this movie on tv a while back and I thought that it looked interesting from what I saw. Having skipped the movie theatre I watched this at home and I really enjoyed it. I won't spoil the movie for others but if you love sci-fi movies then this movie is for you.

Not sure if this was a take off something already written but it felt new and organic and the talent was fresh. I'm already a fan of the writer/director of this film as well as the other films he's worked on with Danny Boyle, namely Sunshine and 28 Days Later.

Good acting, but with a predictable plot and almost no character development. The actual elements of the Turing test for AI are glossed over and other technical concepts that are essential to the thesis of the film are poorly represented, if at all. It also draws some rather obvious parallels to Google and sort of touches on the dangers of "big data", but, again, treats its audience as if they are not intellectually capable of handling the greater implications of that topic. A decent movie if you want to see decent acting and get your noodle going about the concept of AI in the relatively near future, but don't expect this to teach you anything you didn't know about the technicality, morality, or ethics of AI and the aggregation of data in modern society.

Wonderfully acted sci-fi film that will leave you guessing at who each character truly is and what lengths they will ultimately go to until the stunning, twisty ending. A modern classic of the genre.

This movie was exhilarating! Love the tension that builds and the characters' evolution. not sure if it will be as exciting watching it the 2nd time around because I know what happens, but I haven't seen it in awhile so hopefully it'll be just as good as the first time!

This is an interesting scfi movie exploring AI. There are lots of long discussions between the human protagonist and the artificial entity. This drags sometimes but there is enough action to keep it going. The end may be unsatisfying to some.

4K quality is just impossible to beat on my 4K Samsung TV. This disc has it all....excellent plot, terrific acting, surprising ending, and oustanding clarity, sound, etc. Buy and enjoy....got it for just under 10 bucks.

Ex machina is a well thought out thriller that takes the viewer on a ride for the mind like no other. Its creepy atmosphere and engrossing story is like no other. It makes u choose between the truths/lies of the artificial intelligence and main chars to try and weave the ending.

I already heard great things about this movie and when I got to the store on the day of release, I was browsing and it was also recommended by a BestBuy employee. He wasn't wrong. Great acting, visuals - storyline - acting (no spoilers here). If you like Sci-fi, this will please tremendously.

An uncommonly well-polished sci-fi film made on a low budget that is more creepy than you may anticipate, but powerful enough to leave you speechless at the end. Had to upgrade to 4K.

Ex Machina is a well done intriguing movie. The story line is good and has a few good surprises. Domhnall Gleeson, Oscar Isaac, and Alicia Vikander play their parts well. It is interesting to see one way the world could end up as technology advances.

While following many of the familiar AI, robot and computer tropes found in sci-fi, on the whole, this movie was a huge surprise and the ending threw me. Spoiler alert, the robot in this film is closer to being skynet than the sweet romantic she leads you to believe she is.
