Ex Machina.

Looks really cool, I'm sold. Can't help but make Black Mirror comparisons, especially given the lead actor!

Steve Green · 30 October, 2014, 04:00:32 PM

Yeah, looks great - I think Alex said it would be out in January.

radiator · 30 October, 2014, 04:05:03 PM

I've heard April

radiator · 30 October, 2014, 04:05:27 PM

Maybe different release dates in US/UK

I think the trailer just gave away a big spoiler: Warning, er, possible spoiler!

[spoiler]The boy might also be an android as we see him (for a split second) cutting his arm, probably to see what's under the flesh.
[/spoiler]
The film looks very interesting, hope it is as good as it looks.

You're probably right - I'd had a few.

My favourite Black Mirror episode, too. Same actor, well-spotted

Hearing good things about Ex Machina, sadly it's not out over here until April.

Colin YNWA · 16 January, 2015, 09:06:07 PM

Saw a trailer for this the other day on telly (or some such) and the most astonishing thing. See Ex Machina (normally of course proceeded by dues) is a term I have only ever seen written. I genuinely don't think I've ever heard it said before.

And boy do I pronouce it in my head differently... after all it does mean 'Ghost in the MACHINE' so ya know...

...live and learn huh...

...and yes this is a tangent so what!

It means 'God from the Machine', being a stage direction in classical theatre, when insanely complicated plot complications could only be resolved by having an actor dressed as a god winched down from the heavens to fix things with divine magic.

Hence, deus ex machina plot resolutions.

The Police gave you a bum steer, though there's a distinct lack of god with the title in question.
