Ex Machina.

Picked this up on blu-ray the other day and finally sat down to watch it last night.

Plotwise it's a very simple thriller with lots and lots to think about. Great performances from the three mains and I do love a production that isn't afraid to wring tension and excitement out of loaded conversations  (rather than artificial impediments in a heist scene  or twenty different action things happening at once).

Nathan's explicitly shown god complex was quite a handy way of explaining some of his dumber decisions regarding safety and security.

And loved the clever reversal of the cliche sexy undressing in the two scenes ([spoiler]Ava taking off he clothes to show she is robot not human and then applying the skin at the end)[/spoiler]

Music was also great, scenery (when you see it) was lush - all in all a very handsome, thought provoking film.

Minor niggle: Two atomic bomb references was one too many.

truly outstanding wasn't it, the less is more approach.

the twists,which hit each of us like a hammer, the layering and slow but steady draw to her.

yes intelligent sci-fi at is best.

You know, i've still not seen this. A year later and i've still not watched it, should probably pop down to Fopp and grab a copy before I put it off anymore.

Which is funny because I remember thinking that most blokes building a fully functioning fem-bot would give her much bigger whangers.
