## Description

Available for the first time on 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack comes the Academy Award winning ''Best Visual Effects'' sci fi thriller from the writer of 28 DAYS LATER and DREDD.

Review: Very good - This is a visually stunning movie that will also make you think. The basic premise is that a coder for an internet search engine, (played by Domhnall Gleeson) wins a competition to hang out for a week with the reclusive CEO of the company, (played by Oscar Isaac). In reality, he is there to test an artificially intelligent robot named Ava, (played by Alicia Vikander). There are a lot of themes throughout the movie, including the role of computers and technology in our lives, could computers ever become sentient, and if so, how would humans treat them, and how would they treat humans. It has a pretty nice twist ending, that I will not give away, but it is not necessarily one that you would expect. For those who get the 4k disc, the movie looks and sounds great, as you would expect. The cinematography and location shots from Norway really pop in 4k, especially if you have a large screen TV. The UHD disc has just the movie itself. All the other extras are on the regular blu-ray disc. Those include a 40-minute making-of feature, a panel discussion from the 2015 SXSW festival, then 8 shorter behind the scenes vignettes. A very good amount of material for a movie that clocks in just under two hours. Overall, the movie is well written and very well acted. It does have a lower-budget independent movie feel to it despite there being a lot of CGI. It does have a bit of nudity (mainly toward the end of the movie) but it is not really gratuitous, as well as some violence, again toward the end of the movie. I would say it does earn the R rating, but it is not as hard an R rating that some other movies have where there is a ton of sex and violence just to have sex and violence. Definitely worth checking out.
Review: Almost Perfection - Ex Machina starts off slow but remains compelling from the beginning through to the end, and it managed to prove itself to be easily the most well-written and well thought out story to touch on this subject matter. Chappie was entertaining and sort of sweet, Age of Ultron was exciting, but Ex Machina was the best and most honest exploration of artificial or emergent intelligence I have witnessed on screen. Everything from the introduction of Ava, through the process of getting to know her as she is put through a protean sort of Turing test by a gifted coder, to the intense and chilling (but somehow still understated) climax of the film is insanely captivating. The interactions between the relatively naive Caleb (the programmer) and the erratic and controlling Nathan (his boss and the man who developed Ava) fluctuate between bizarre and somewhat friendly but with an ever present sort of tension that builds as the narrative continues. The true star of the movie is Ava herself, portrayed by Alicia Vikander...and she most certainly shines in her role, showing that it might not be the best idea to strive for human emotional development and sexuality when working towards AI. Elements of the movie definitely take a cue from Bladerunner...questions of identity, what it is to be human, and how far we might go in simulating humanity when creating a new form of life...in addition to exploring all too common human issues like insecurity, desire, and mistrust. I want to say more. I want to discuss specific points in the narrative, but I don't want to include any spoilers. I hope that you'll see it for yourself. There is no doubt in my mind that this is one of the best science fiction movies I will see in a good long while, and I believe you will feel the same if you take the time to watch it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Far Beyond even it's own intel
*by M***S on September 8, 2025*

What's terrific about EX_ this is the timing. The film is perfect (for what it needed to do). We went through a period of 2029-2023 -three years marked by 'freedom losses.' Americans experienced lockdowns, social distancing, and quarantined areas. Yes, this is a few years before Covid: lockdowns, but it was an excellent time for you to lull in a season of oblivion. At that time, most audiences had never chatted with a high-powered chatbot (not a higher power but...) Watching this now, this has depth. I have so many different 'intels', we don't believe our own intelligence is fake. This movie is, was, and will be so far ahead.
