In \u201cEx Machina,\u201d Alex Garland\u2019s slyly spooky futuristic shocker about old and new desires, the female in question is a robot called Ava, a name suggestive of both Adam and Eve. Ava has a serene humanoid face and the expressive hands and feet of a dancer, but also the transparent figure of a visible woman anatomy model. Beautiful and smart, sleek and stacked, Ava is at once decidedly unsettling and safely under lock and key, which makes her an ideal posthuman female.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"> By Robin Lindsay &#8211; New York Times<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">They\u2019ve been giant and deadly; they\u2019ve been chatty and contemplative; they\u2019ve been acrobatic and futuristic. Robots in movies have served all kinds of functions in becoming an important part of the cinema landscape. So when filmmakers place a robot at the center of their work, the way it looks and behaves compared with those that have come before must be considered.

Garland\u2019s science-fiction chamber piece \u2013 his first film as director, and fifth as screenwriter, after 28 Days Later, Sunshine, Never Let Me Go and Dredd \u2013 starts from the premise that no one knows us better than our internet browsers, then turns that queasy intimacy inside out. Ex Machina whips up the same kind of existential terror Mary Shelley harnessed almost exactly 200 years ago in Frankenstein, but for a time in which the flow of information holds the same world-conquering potential that the flow of electricity once did. \u00a0By Robbie Collin &#8211; The Telegraph<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Shrewdly imagined and persuasively made, &#8220;Ex Machina&#8221; is a spooky piece of speculative fiction that&#8217;s completely plausible, capable of both thinking big thoughts and providing pulp thrills. But even saying that doesn&#8217;t do this quietly unnerving film full justice.
