Ex-Machine, while well-made, was mostly 'bleh'.
It's not the ground-breaking thought-provoking movie I was promised it was.
It asked all the regular questions you'd expect a movie about AI to ask, without REALLY posing any new ones or answering any of the old ones.
If anything... a lot of it seemed stupid. You'd think a person smart enough to create an AI would be smart enough to program it not to want to escape, and of course smart enough not to provoke it to do so just for kicks. He really didn't need whatshisname there, it all seemed kinda pointless.
