Ex Machina (a good, short review of a bad, long movie)

Trending now on Amazon Prime, the science fiction film, Ex Machina, directed by Alex Gardner and starring Domhnall Gleason, Alicia Vikander and Oscar Isaac is severely overrated by viewers who probably don't recognize the obvious Artificial Intelligence tropes and worn out rebel computer memes that date way back to Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. Not only is the simplistic use of vertical line, compartmentalized imagery so insulting, but the overtly feminist theme of men-always-do-things-to-women is beyond boring and not worth the time sitting through all the two dimensional performances by every actor in this travesty of a film. Even Gleason's character who is set up to 'save' these poor, wretched female robots who are man handled by the stereotyped, computer mad genius, Oscar Isaac as Nathan, will clue you in as to why this very badly slapped together composite of worn out  patterns doesn't work. If you've never experienced  a science fiction movie that deals with artificial intelligence before, than you might like Ex Machina. But if you've watched one badly behaving robot and unoriginal director giving and taking life on the screen, you've seen them all so keep looking for the singularity somewhere else because it's not in this film.
