Ex Machina

Ex Machina was a really weird movie. I always felt like the Nathan was going to kill Caleb at the last day of the Turing test. I thought the location where the movie took place was very odd because it was a building in the middle of nowhere. I also thought that a person falling in love with a machine was very strange. The movie was really just about an AI named Ava trying to escape her creator by using the feeling love against humans. Her creator named Nathan Bateman was trying to enhance his AI but upgrading Ava would erase her. In order to upgrade Ava he used a person from his company named Caleb Smith to do a special AI test called the Turing test. Caleb bonded with Ava and fell in love over the week of the testing. I found it interesting that Ava betrayed Caleb at the end when she locked him in the security room and left for the helicopter that was supposed to pick up Caleb at the end of the Turing test. I know that Ava wanted to see the world but she doesn’t really have any place to go. The only place she can stay is the house she was being held in. In the end, this movie portrays the fear of artificial intelligence. In the movie Nathan keeps Ava locked in one room which shows he is afraid of her. Also Nathan is stabbed to death by his AI helper and Ava. Caleb is locked in the security room and will eventually starve to death which in my opinion comes from the idea of artificial intelligence taking over the world.
