Trailer
Another film about A.I. Looks to be an especially good one though. Sitting at 94 on RT currently.
Limited Release on April 10.
2015 is shaping up to be an epic year for Sci-Fi films.

Alex Garland, writer of 28 Days Later and Sunshine, makes his directorial debut with the stylish and cerebral thriller, EX MACHINA. Caleb Smith (Domhnall Gleeson), a programmer at an internet-search giant, wins a competition to spend a week at the private mountain estate of the company's brilliant and reclusive CEO, Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac). Upon his arrival, Caleb learns that Nathan has chosen him to be the human component in a Turing Test-charging him with evaluating the capabilities, and ultimately the consciousness, of Nathan's latest experiment in artificial intelligence. That experiment is Ava (Alicia Vikander), a breathtaking A.I. whose emotional intelligence proves more sophisticated--and more deceptive--than the two men could have imagined.

I hope the same folks that did the soundtrack for Sunshine are back for this. That shite was INTENSE.

EVA looks to be along the same lines.
Interesting that the Ex Machina's robot is called Eva/Ava as well and its about a female robot with AI
May be a White House Down, Olympus has Fallen debacle.

I googled, wikipedia'd, and imdb'd and I can't find this EVA you speak of.

Whoever this interests has to check out Äkta människor (English title: Real Humans). You're gonna be stuck with subtitles... but it's awesome.

Is this gonna be the same as "the machine" 2013
Posted on 3/5/15 at 12:49 pm to colorchangintiger
I'll definitely be seeing this. Looks a bit similar in vein to Splice without all Oedipus sexy time.

I heard an interview with the director. Strange dude. I want to see it.

Blast from the past. A lot of folks have said great things about this flick, so I finally got around to it last night on Tubi.
Excellent. Lots of difficult themes, and heavy on the Frankenstein vibe. But this was a worthwhile 2 hours, and even more so in light of the current race to AI sentience.
Oscar Isaac is phenomenal in this flick. Plays a smug sociopath very, very well.

The rare 10 year bump. 
One of the best movies this century.

I had no idea this movie was already 10 years ago

ETA: To clarify, Ex Machina was released US in 2015, but premiered in late 2014. Wasn’t trying to be confusing, just a heck of a thread bump.

It’s a benchmark sci-fi movie for those exact reasons. Very underrated

it was a good one for sure. Gives a glimpse how a person can fall for an android even when they know it's an android.

I watched Ex Machina and Whiplash back to back when they came out and I don’t think I’ve hit a run like that before or since.

I think the “person” represents all people and how we’re being sucked into pseudo realities that are and will have real world consequences

I sitll watch this movie on repeat every year or two.
Its great. Really was one of the best movies of the decade and dove head first into the possibilities of the future. Really pushed the scifi genre into a new dimension, specifically focuses on the minpulation part of a human which is emotion.
It was brilliant, film.

“the minpulation part of a human which is emotion.”
This is what I love about the movie. It’s easy to see Ava as the villain or the antagonistic force of the movie. You could also say it’s Nathan who’s the villain but Ava is just a mirror that shows all of Caleb’s modern insecurities and weaknesses. She’s just a machine although highly advanced but can only manipulate Caleb because he allows her to. Even though he knows what she is he ignores common sense and gives in to convenience, vanity, comfort, misplaced sympathy and it’s both his and Nathan’s undoing. Nathan prior to Caleb has no problem among the machines because he sees them clearly. His fault is his isolation from humanity causing him to overlook the danger Caleb presents because of how he views Caleb from afar. It’s brilliant
