MOVIES & TV - CLASSIC to CURRENT

Yesterday I watched a fascinating movie, Ex Machina.  Although it was released a decade ago it is about AI, making it about a current subject, especially since I see so much being done in China about robotics, including humanoid robotics. 

For me the movie had a surprise ending, as I had personally predicted something quite different.  I have posted links to two different articles about the movie that differ not about the theme or plot, but in the way the movie is described, with the Roger Ebert organization describing it in a more literary way, while TheCinemaholic article spills the beans in a more common manner.

Read both articles, and watch the movie, it's different in many ways from the usual.

Ex Machina incorporates a lot of robot story themes from pulp science fiction.  The plot is somewhat predictable but the quality of the acting and story telling pushes that well into the background.  The special effects are fantastic, too.  Ex Machina is certainly worth watching if you can find it.

If you liked Ex Machina then you might be interested in directed by Steven Spielberg and released in 2001.  Another one to check out  is directed by Wally Pfister and released in 2014 (the same year as Ex Machina).

Unfortunately I did something a while ago when I was on IMDb that totally screwed up my access to it.  It even prevents me from sending them a message about the problem so I can't open properly the links you provided.  I just get the right article, but the screen is very dark and jumbled and nothing opens that I click.
