Cinema Bytes Review | Ex Machina

Writer/director Alex Garland (screenwriter of “28 Days Later” and “Sunshine”) sets an immediate unsettling tone the moment the film begins, and then never puts you at ease. He’s never allows you to feel comfortable with any of these characters as you continually question what’s really going on with all of them. And that’s just the tone of the film. The real meat of this film comes from all the questions it raises about artificial intelligence.
