Ex Machina Blu-Ray Review | Blu-ray.com
Reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman
There's no deus in Ex Machina, unless you count the seemingly semi-divine intelligence of Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac), a character who might be thought of as something of a cross between internet and computing entrepreneurs like Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs and/or Bill Gates. Bateman is described as a "Mozart" of coding, having invented a search engine called Blue Book when he was still a teen, a search engine which in this film's universe has come to handle well over 90% of internet snark hunts (take that, Google).
