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. Click HERE to check availability at your local CJRL branch.
