The film, with its understated CGI work has the feel of a bigger-budget episode of Black Mirror, asking the fun sci-fi questions on A.I. intertwined with humanity and sentience and survival insticts.
For most of its running time, the film does take its time exploring its themes through the construct of "The Turing Test" as a programmer (Caleb) is brought to a compound of his employer (Nathan) to interview Ava, a robot with the form factor of a female human, with Nathan's A.I. running her "programming". Can Ava pass the test is the central plot.
If you like these types of movies, "Ex Machina" is right up your alley.
I give it 2.75 stars, or a grade of B-.
