      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Ex Machina leans heavier on ideas than effects, but it's still a visually polished piece of work -- and an uncommonly engaging sci-fi feature.

      Adam Kempenaar Filmspotting ...the brilliance of the film is the way we become Garland’s Turing Test subjects. Rated: 4.5/5 Apr 5, 2024 Full Review Kjerstin Johnson Bitch Media I enjoyed watching the small cast of characters conspire with and against one another within the confines of a chillingly beautiful and remote techno-bunker. Jan 27, 2021 Full Review Jason Bailey Flavorwire A crackling good entertainment, a brainy science fiction picture executed in a clean, concise style, with a narrative as logical as it is unpredictable. May 28, 2016 Full Review Wael Khairy The Cairo Scene “Ex Machina” works as a study of what it means to be conscious/human...I’m convinced more than ever that we are in the midst of a British New Wave in science fiction cinema. Jan 3, 2024 Full Review Jordan Brooks Vague Visages A commanding first directorial effort from Alex Garland, Ex Machina is the product of a perfectly-tuned collaborative endeavor, much like the mind of its artificial centerpiece. Aug 3, 2023 Full Review Anton Bitel Projected Figures Presenting itself in heavily gendered terms, this sci-fi makes Nathan’s modernist bunker a prison-house of abusive, objectifying patriarchy from which Ava is bent on escaping.

      Matt Al. Robots. Need I say more? Absolutely loved seeing this in IMAX Laser. Fully packed auditorium. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/28/24 Full Review Tijs v Very good movie although the end left me with a lot of questions. The CGI also looks very good. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/11/24 Full Review Benjamin H While parts of the conclusion didn't entirely work for me and some of its many characteristics could have been explored more, Ex Machina is a truly absorbing, thought-provoking and visually stunning sci-fi thriller that benefits from its rich, daring thematic depth and solid performances. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/09/24 Full Review Michael G This movie is like watching a college lecture on the intersection and potential conflict between science and philosophy. The intellectual concepts are presented very well, but because the dialogue feels like it's only there to express those concepts, the acting doesn't ring true and is either emotionally hollow or overbearing. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/20/24 Full Review Louis B Watching this in 2024 and being closer to a capable AI-system like the movie shows than ever before, its quite scary. I like how Garland only explains and shows the important information and shares other background info via suddle story points. Its just a solid movie with twisted turns and a plot that gives you so much to think about. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/20/24 Full Review Audience Member a thought provoking movie showing the possible course of ai devlopement in the future, packed with suspense. A movie with a premise ahead of its time in some ways and a good watch if you are interested in the overall topic. Ex Machina stands out in this genre.
