EX_MACHINA what is there to say about this movie? Well the main story was very very good and I enjoyed most of it at least and there was a lot of twists but we will get to that! It starts off by a computer programmer winning a trip to a secret laboratory to test the AI there where we meet the other main character who has a weird thing for robots apparently. We then see the two characters' growing attraction towards each other, yes between robot and human something we have not really seen before in a movie especially a love story. This storyline was well driven and kept me entertained throughout the whole movie. Until the end when the movie says NOPE we don't care about your feelings so we are going to throw in a twist. I honestly thought it was an m night shyamalan movie but nope it was an Alex Garland who in all fairness has made some really good movies eg 28 Days Later. The only good thing about this movie was the casting cause damn I have never been so attracted to a robot in my life! Alicia Vikander did an amazing job if you know what I am saying! 3* would recommend but trust me you will be annoyed
