EX MACHINA-Excellent Sci-Fi Movie on Artificial Intelligence

I ROBOT did a major disservice to the sci-fi genre of artificial intelligence (A/I.)  Redemption is made on an exceptional level in EX MACHINA.  This sic-fi cinematic achievement probes the pros & cons of A/I and it's relationship to mankind.  It's also a suspenseful 3 way chess match.  British dir. Alex Gorland (The Beach) makes a really intelligent film that philosophizes on humanity while driving a credulous & tension wrought film.  It's also programed with a lot of emotion, empathy & sexuality.   Nathan (Domhnall Gleeson, "About Time") wins the lottery to spend a week with the founder of a high tech co. in his private, remote residence.  (Be careful what you wish for…)  The brilliant/mad scientist, Caleb, played by Oscar Isaac ("Llewyn Davis") is cunning & ruthless.  Nathan is taken by helicopter & abandoned on the isolated, expansive estate of Caleb.  The idyllic terrain, complete with waterfalls are subterfuge for the underground residence which is both paradise & prison.  Nathan's reluctance to remain gives way to temptation.  He desires to be privy to the A/I creation smarmy & swarthy Caleb promises.  Ava (Alicia Wikander, an angelic beauty) is introduced to Nathan who becomes instantly &  totally infatuated.  This haunting spin on Frankenstein or Adam & Eve is eerily prescient.  EX MACHINA is the real deal; sci-fi at its finest.
