Ex Machina: Isn’t it strange to create something that hates you?

???? ON THE TUBE TONIGHT-
(all times CLT)

Isn’t it strange to create something that hates you? Ex Machina is a suspenseful and dramatic science fiction film that follows Caleb Smith, a programmer at the world’s largest internet company. He wins an office competition to spend a week with the company’s CEO, Nathan Bateman, at his lavish (but isolated) mansion. When Caleb arrives, he discovers that the competition was actually a selection process for an employee to participate in a strange experiment to assess the human qualities of Ava, the world’s first designed AI humanoid robot. The assessment is meant to determine if she can communicate with people, and more importantly, if he would be able to accept dealing with her despite knowing she’s a machine. The movie is directed by Alex Garland and stars Domhnall Gleeson, Alicia Vikander, Sonoya Mizuno and Oscar Isaac. You can watch it on Amazon Prime.
