Ex Machina

I could not recommend this sci-fi drama more: 2015's Ex Machina

It's about the winner of a huge corporation's in house sweepstakes, who finally gets to meet the elusive CEO and see whether or not he's actually created AI (artificial intelligence).

Let me digress to, perhaps, the creepy part of my opening sentence.Yes, it's a drama.With even less action than Blade Runner. No Michael Bay explosions. No John Woo super slo-mo bullets. No Lucas muppets. No Spielberg's kids on bmx bikes...

But that is exactly the point of this movie! It's talky and unravels slowly at first, then grows - bit by suspenseful bit into something a lot better than Scott, Bay, Woo, etc.

This is more Asimov. More a game of Chess rather than Asteroids! 

And it ROCKS!!
