Attention all sci-fi lovers! Get ready to dive into a thought-provoking and thrilling experience with the addition of Ex Machina on Netflix. This science fiction film has been labeled as one of the best of the decade, and is now available for streaming. Released back in 2014, Ex Machina marked the directorial debut of Alex Garland, known for his popular novel The Beach, which was later adapted into a movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Garland has also written scripts for other noteworthy films such as 28 Days Later, Never Let Me Go, and Dredd.
Starring Domhnall Gleeson, Alicia Vikander, and Oscar Isaac, Ex Machina follows the story of a programmer who is invited by his CEO to administer the Turing test to a humanoid robot. Made on a budget of $15 million and grossing $36.8 million, this movie received critical acclaim and was nominated for several awards, including five Baftas, two Oscars, and a Golden Globe. Viewers have described it as "arresting", "compelling", and a "must see".
This week, Ex Machina has been added to the list of titles on Netflix, giving viewers the chance to either watch it for the first time or revisit it again. The film has been praised for its thought-provoking themes and razor-sharp character drama, with Digital Spy stating that it takes a "controlled nosedive into exhilarating sci-fi horror". Sky Cinema shared that the movie's themes will leave you pondering about humanity long after the shocking finale. Associated Press also added that Ex Machina is both necessary and unforgettable, as it delves deep into a simple construct and presents a unique and deeply unsettling psychological thriller.
In an interview with The Dissolve, Garland discussed the hope and horror presented in the film, stating that the real horror lies with people and the hope lies in AI potentially being more reasonable than us. He compared the evolution of AI to that of children, where we hope that they outlive us and have a better life than ours. Garland also addressed the potential for a sequel, stating that he would rather start something new than revisit a project he has worked on for two years.
In the years since Ex Machina, Garland has written and directed other successful films such as Annihilation, Men, and Civil War. But now, viewers can once again experience his directorial debut with Ex Machina streaming on Netflix. So grab some popcorn and get ready for a mind-bending journey into the world of AI.
