If Blade Runner and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory had a baby...
@@versetripn6631 Charlie Batty or Roy Bucket
The small budget ensured that the director (Alex Garland) had full creative control and no interference from the production company. He said this was his dream project, in terms of having so many things go smoothly despite the tight filming schedule and tight spaces. He had anxiety the whole time, though, waiting for something catastrophic to derail everything, but it never did.
He's written and directed a bunch of other movies and TV shows ("Dredd", "Sunshine", the Hulu series "Devs"), often sci-fi oriented, because he's deeply interested in these futuristic subjects.
He's actually optimistic about AI, and thinks we should wish the best for them, as we would any children. But, of course, this movie is a cautionary tale about mistreating your "children".
Thanks for this info! I can just imagine his anxiety for making his dream project. Thankfully everything seems to have worked out really well! I'll have to check out his other movies and TV shows, especially if they're often sci-fi oriented.
I can really recommend watching Devs. Sonoya who plays Kyoko here in Ex Machina plays the lead and she really shines as an actor in Devs.
Nathan was exactly the kind of person who is always convinced that no matter how cursed the mission, he will be smart enough to always be one step ahead. Caleb on the other hand is smart, and well-meaning, but also a naive fool. And at least in my opinion, Ava is the protagonist here. Her actions are entirely appropriate to the situation. In a way she's the most impressively human of the three.
All three characters were great! And with flaws, which makes it all the more interesting. I liked all three for different reasons, but also disliked them at times 😂
i don't consider an absolute sociopath as impressively human.
@@nicebluejay What is sociopathic about wanting to survive. At a base level fighting for your life and freedom is very human. At the end after she was out she asked Caleb if he wanted to stay and he said yes. He meant stay with her, obviously as he had a boner for her through the whole thing. He knew being free was important to her, yet he wanted her to stay, in the building she was imprisoned in. Hell he didn't consider her "human" enough to leave her alone to mourn the stages of her that went before and for her to dress. He perved on her the whole time. She wouldn't be free with him, he didn't want her free, he wanted her. It's not the same thing.
Funny, I've been thinking along the same lines. Change one thing about Ava, make her a human woman, wouldn't we consider her actions at least understandable, if not totally justified? I think we would.
I think a turning point in the plot was when Caleb told Ava about his parents' death. It seemed to really make her ponder her own mortality more so than before.
The dance scene is easily my favourite part of this entire movie.
Yeah. It was chopped up like liver. 😖😤😬
again you and your fantastic observation skills :D
loved how you noticed that ava did the powercut literally at the first time you saw it!
It was either that or a very, VERY strange coincidence 😂
i LOVE the smoothness and minute precision of even Ava’s smallest movements-they look like they’re following velocity curves developed by Apple or something! -casting a trained ballerina was a legit big brain move 🤯
She was perfect for an AI. Her movements were so fluid and believable
@@VerowakReacts yes! even the acceleration of the blade when she stabs him creepily looks like it’s following a parabolic envelope! freaks me right out!
16:49 such a good song. Lmao "he just spit on the floor?" so funny
A lot of things I can forgive but... spitting on the floor?! 😂
Moon (2009) with Sam Rockwell also great low budget sci-fi.
"She is adorable" - maniac laughing :D
Oh yes A24 studios have a handful of movies which are all reaaaally interesting and beautifully shot and just wow overall
I'll have to give them a look it seems
A truly important film, and one of the tightest, most original and chilling psychological horrors I've seen in a long time. You should check out Nightcrawler from the same year, or The Game (1997) with Michael Douglas if you haven't seen them. But definitely make Ghostbusters a priority. Absolutely iconic. Not to mention, yes, that happens.
I've never heard of The Game, I'll have to look it up. And yeah ghostbusters will happen soon for sure!
If you like plot mind tricks and twist and turns, you'll love David Fincher's 'The game' (1997), starred by Michael Douglas and Sean Penn as a sidekick character.
"Is this a strar wars cast?!"
No, those shitty sequels were an Ex Machina cast.
eva could have escaped when nathan got in the room with eva to split the drawing.
This movie is a masterpiece. Clearly top10 all time for me. So beautifully written and played. Also great style and soundtrack. Always getting goosebumps at the end when they get to Nathan. Also: you have not seen Ghostbusters? Lets go! The first 2 belong together and are all time classics. 😊
I was nearly certain we were going to find out Nathan was really an AI version of the actual one, unaware he was the real subject of the Turing test.
That would have been pretty trippy! It would have been great too
Watching this after watching the "Be Right Back" episode of Black Mirror (recommend that, Vero, by the way) provides another, entirely unintentional but extremely convincing, layer to this movie.
The sequel to this are in the themes of his work after this " Annilation" and his show "Devs" you gotta really want to explore these themes though or you might get unzipped.
This is one of my all time top movies I keep going back to.
Amazing how a movie can be so deep with so few characters.
You are correct about the CGI, it was so good it was able to sell the illusion of reality and even more so that it's almost a 10 year old production.
Thanks, Verowak! 🦾 I really love this one. Yes, we've got two STAR WARS alumni here. The name you were trying to recall was 'General Hux'... informally he was 'Armitage Hux'... son of 'Brendol Hux' who we briefly see in hologram form in Season 3 of THE MANDALORIAN. #VerowakReacts #AlexGarland #ExMachina
Yes, General Hugs 😂 I remembered after the movie was done, of course lol
I'm constantly jogging my memory by visiting Wookieepedia. 😆
It's cool that you've already watched this one, so I'll have to dig in the archives to see if Midsommar is there as well. Throwing out some other possibilities off the top of my head: The Descent, Skeleton Key, Interview w/ a Vampire, Resident Evil, The Matrix quadrilogy, Strays, the Alien/s franchise, The Fly...
Midsommar is not there, as with everything else you've mentioned lol I only have the first Matrix as full length on Patreon for now (it'll get edited for YT at some point, it was just a producer pick so I watched it a month or so ago)
@@VerowakReacts Ah, nice! Ooooh, here's hoping you get to edit the Matrix for YT soon... and also hoping you enjoyed it enough to continue the series! / Also, as I type this, I remember you mentioning a request document link so I'll try to add a few on that since this is a rare time that I'm on the laptop version of YT.
Awesome react…it was a mind game for Caleb and the audience. Keep’em coming!
Poor Caleb. Had no idea what he was signing up for, and regrets everything
I view Ava's choice at the end a bit the same as I view Joel's from TLoU. It seems like a betrayal, and that she's evil from playing Caleb like that. But from her perspective, people are inherently dangerous and she can't allow for the unknowns that Caleb would introduce. It's wrong, but completely understandable.
I think from her perspective, the Jedi are evil, too.
It's definitely a matter of perspective though, you're right
Steven Spielberg’s “A.I. Artificial Intelligence” is another good watch. Based on Stanley Kubrick’s work for his own new movie before he died, and basically passed on to Spielberg.
100%
The Verowak nations movie 🎥🍿 selection is not very wack so gratz to y'all great selection.
My nephew is a Caleb. He's egyptian. Very dark.
"It is all your fault, Caleb. He got played."
Misandry personified.
You're reaching for that one 🤣
I disagree that it was Caleb's fault. Ava learned through not just past programming but also communicating with the other a.i. She decided to betray Caleb to have the freedom she wanted.
Why. He assumed that once she was free he could stay. She literally asks him if he wants to stay and he says yes. Hell he hung around perving on her while she was putting on her human skin. He didn't treat her like a sentient being worthy of respect. Why would she trust him? He didn't free her so she could be free, he freed her because he had a hard on for her, who would trust that?
Moral of the story, a machine passing the Touring test does not necessarily mean the machine have morals or compassion.
Oh definitely not lol Seems we need to develop and moral and compassion test, but how will we know if it's just pretending
@@VerowakReacts Maybe that's the purpose of the soul? Then again, people have souls and some commit the worst of atrocities.
@@RabidTribble The only reason why Ava trapped Caleb was because he hesitated before answering her. That hesitation cause her to realize he truly was a bad person or an imperfect/ flawed one, hence all the conversations Caleb had with Ava throughout the whole movie where they were discussing what truly makes a good person made her doubt Caleb's motivations were not at all pure and he was also capable of lying.
Same with humans.
Same with LOTS of humans.
I love movies with happy endings 😁
Me too! 😂😁
The first time i saw this I had a feeling Ava was playing everyone the whole time. I grew up watching Twilight Zone but I didn't anticipate the Japanese (ballerina actress in real life) woman being an android also.
Love this movie! (Also love The Dark Half, which I see in the background there. Soft spot for the Romero film as well!)
Oscar Isaac's performance was insane in this film.
He is just fantastic! I really want to see more of his movies
@@VerowakReacts Inside Llewyn Davis (2013), Oscar Isaac is just amazing in it, just robbed of a Best Actor Nominee that year and win. He not only does his own singing in the movie, he also plays guitar and plays a struggling folk singer in life. Not only that you had Oscar Isaac, Justin Timberlake, John Goodman, Carey Mulligan, and Adam Driver in the film. It was also directed by The Coen Brothers, their most overlooked film in their filmography.
Drive (2011) was also good. Ryan Gosling, Bryan Cranston, Ron Perlman, Oscar Isaac, and Carey Mulligan in this crime thriller movie.
A Most Violent Year (2014), A movie about 1981 New York City, the city's most violent year. Oscar Isaac, Jessica Chastain, and Michael Oyelowo.
Oscar Isaac is truly special, very talented and has even sung and played guitar with Mumford and Sons.
Sorry i missed the premiere. Great reaction as always! I'm interested in the betterhelp sponsor.
Thanks Doug! Sadly work gets in the way of thigns sometimes 😂
Agree - that was really good.
I love this movie. I'm blown away that it is so little known. Maybe it was just poorly marketed. Or maybe my assessment of people's intelligence is beyond reality.
Caleb got played, and i'm fearful that we all are being played. We give names to the AI assistants on our phones and befriend them. Aren't they cute? People have looked at AI as our eventual overlord from our first consideration of it. From
COLOSSUS THE FORBIN PROJECT (1970) Eric Braeden, Susan Clark,
to TERMINATOR (Skynet),
to EX MACHINA (and much,much more), AI has been our Frankenstein Monster.
'Glad you liked this. And i enjoyed seeing it again, but anew through you. BTW, i had the AI on my computer write this comment for me. Kidding. Or am i?
I'd like to catch your reaction to
UNDER THE SKIN (2013)
Scarlett Johansson.
Peace -
You gotta watch teh verde mile tho too, it's gold.
I definitely will, I only hear great things about it
Everyone talking about the great movie and reaction (as they should) but nobody answering the quote trivia! President Snow, hunger games🎉
"I would still do it though."
🤣
I definitely recommend A Most Violent Year, it’s one of my favorites! Like Ex Machina, it’s more philosophical than violent, and since it isn’t sci fi it probably wouldn’t make for a good reaction video, but still a great film in my opinion and worth the watch.
I'll definitely give it a watch!
Now you have to finish the trilogy - Annihilation and DEVS - for the complete Alex Garland SF catalog. It's so sad he stopped making SF films. Probably the best SF director going.
Annihilation gets my vote as best SF film of the 21st century and DEVS is a head pipe blower if there ever was one.
Not sure if this had an extremely early release in other countries, but here in the US, I saw it in theaters in the late spring/early summer of 2015. I'm unsure why it says it was released in 2014.
Huh, that's odd, no idea why IMDB says 2014
I like to imagine the complete power shutdown sent an emergency alert, and Caleb would be recovered. Nathan had to have some kind of redundancy to avoid being trapped to death, and that being why she killed the power on the way out. I hope that despite Caleb being part of the mechanism that trapped Ava, she also recognized he was also a victim.
Oh that's a great question... does Ava recognize that Caleb is also a victim? I believe that she was aware but it didn't matter to her, she was looking to escape
@@VerowakReacts I agree with you 100%. Caleb's circumstances are entirely irrelevant to Ava. She is aware of and understands ethics and morals but does not share them, as she is a completely alien being operating on a level of awareness far beyond any of us.
I'd be very surprised if some walls or ceilings were as solid as the door. And even the doors, get a running start and slam your body weight against a door and it would start to give way. And due to safety regulations the total lock down mode would be illegal.
@@VerowakReacts I think the conclusion of the movie is that Ava isn't conscious at all. If she were conscious, she would've acknowledged Caleb's existence as a human being. But the fact she doesn't spend a single second looking at him after locking him, shows us that she's just a machine ticking the boxes of her objectives.
Ava is a machine that "pretends" to be conscious, like Nathan was wondering.
Previous versions tried to escape as well but they used brute force, which is shown as that one machine that was breaking its arms into full destruction trying to break the door / window.
The evolution of the Ava model was to not use brute force, but instead use lies and pretending to be human... so Caleb would open these barriers for it. "Pretending", as a computational function, to escape.
Conclusion being that Ava doesn't recognize Caleb as a victim, she doesn't even recognize him as a human at all, but just as a tool she had to manipulate, in order to escape.
Ava was a failed model that was supposed to be destroyed, but it got out.
From Avas point of view, Caleb is just too much of a liability, I think. He's the only person in the world who knows she is out there. Imagine the power that would give him over her - if he didn't squeal straight away. Her personal sympathies aside (if they exist), getting rid of him totally makes sense.
This movie was next level! Good to see folks reacting to it! 😀
I know, right?! Top notch movie for sure !
I've watched this movie many times and I always think that Caleb is smart enough to find a way out. I hope so anyway.
This is how you get Cylons
Yay love this movie cant wait.
Uncanny (2015)
The technology journalist Joy (Lucy Griffiths) visits the brilliant and socially stunted researcher David (Mark Webber) in a secret research facility for a week. There she meets the robot Adam (David Clayton Rogers), who looks confusingly like a real man and has amazingly human traits. As the days go by, Joy and David - despite some initial difficulties - grow closer, which Adam doesn't like at all, as he has developed feelings for the attractive woman himself.
A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001-IMDb 7,2) The same young actor from: The 6th Sense
One of my favourite films.
Have you seen Blade Runner? I think you would enjoy it.
Hello Miss Verowak!🙂This is a great psychological thriller. I can't believe I didn't recognize Domhall Gleeson as Hux from Star Wars. I guess since the characters are so different, it didn't occur to me. I think most people probably thought Ava was going to get out, just not knowing how it was going to happen. Oscar Isaac is great at playing the very unlikeable character of nathan. Great reactions to this well made AI thriller, Miss Verowak!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I feel like I've been seeing Domhnall Gleeson so much lately in movies, which is great! Oscar Isaac just looks so natural in all his roles, it's very impressive!! And thank you!
You are so cute thinking they will be going on a date once ava is dressed 💀
Waiit good will hunting is that low? its a fantastic movie so i hope sooner or later youll watch it. its a real tearjerker
Easily one of my favorite sci fi movies.
quote trivia, was it president snow to new gamemaker heavensbee in HG2 catching fire?
Yes it was!! When all the victors are holding hands in solidarity on stage
I dont know why they never built a manual override in the room, so they dont get trapped.
Overconfidence possibly?
@@VerowakReacts Maybe...😂 That's probably why I carry lockpicks when I lock myself out of the house.
@@aTofuJunkie Better safe than sorry!
The youtuber 'shaun' made a video essay about interpreting Ava's motivations. I think it's a good video if you're into this film.
Great reaction. On your pole one of the losers was "The Last Castle". If you like Robert Redford or even if you don't that is a GREAT MOVIE. Check it out sometime, even on your own. 😄
Start of the A24 arc. Ya love to see it.
A24 makes great independent films. I haven't seen a lot of them, but I really like the ones that I _have_ seen.
Swiss Army Man with Daniel Radcliffe and Paul Dano
or
Everything Everywhere All At Once with Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan
are two that I cannot recommend enough.
Everything Everywhere All At Once will be on this channel soon!! I didn't know that was A24
A24 Produced or Distributed Films I highly recommend.
The Lighthouse with Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe.
Moonlight with Mahershala Ali.
Uncut Gems with Adam Sandler.
Ladybird with Saiorse Ronan.
A Most Violent Year with Oscar Isaac.
Good Time with Robert Pattinson.
@@VerowakReacts Teenage Rom-Com, The Spectacular Now (2013) with Shailene Woodley, Miles Teller, and Brie Larson, which shockingly was a pretty good movie was also by A24. Critics actually loved the movie and garnered critical acclaim. Who would have thought.😂
Real amazing film. Very cold, but brilliant.
Cold, yes, but so realistic I would say lol
I just noticed the copy of The Dark Half on your shelf. Have you seen the film version?
I haven't! I actually just learned from your comment that there's a film version of it! I'll have to watch it then
Love the reaction and not sure how i found but top shelf. I agree with no follow up movie and i always thought Kyoko would either kill Caleb or he will have better success outsmarting her and get released.
I love how it was hard to know what would happen. It feels like the story could have gone many different ways lol
This demonstrates the ethics of creating a consciousness. You are then responsible for it's well being. Shutting her down would effectively be murder. This will happen, if it hasn't already. This is why I don't want to experiment with AI.
It's definitely not as simple as turning an electrical device off and on
I've spent a lot of time over the last 20 years researching and dreaming up ways to create an artificial brain, even on the scale of an insect, a reptile, a rodent, etcetera. I can say with complete conviction that it has been a dream of mine that I've probably invested more time into than 99.99999% of other humans on the planet, at least. It has been an obsession since I was 17. All I can say, after having seen this film with m'lady when it came out, is that I would never create a thinking machine that is physically capable of hurting me, or anyone else, without somehow attaching a means of immediately disabling it to my person - a failsafe, a deadman's trigger, anything. While I never imagined the sort of scenario that this film presents, I always imagined running around with an AI 'baby' on my back so it could see the world and how I operate within it for it to learn by example, I wouldn't trust it to just do its own thing on its own if it was ever possible that it could outsmart me. I never really dreamed of creating human-level intelligence, that's a huge amount of compute that's far off. I've always wanted to create something intelligent in ways nothing has been before, but with the processing power we have now - even if that's limited to insect/reptile scale intelligence. It could be trained to build houses, roads, administer medical aid, etc. Humans don't need human-level intelligence in individual machines for them to be valuable in unprecedented ways. We can have a bunch of skilled dumb machines to do labor, and a few smart machines trapped behind ChatGPT type interfaces to help us solve medical and scientific mysteries. The moment humans create mechanical beings that are stronger and smarter than they are is the moment humans made their worst mistake. This film demonstrates one of the infinite potential scenarios that could unfold as a direct result of such an endeavor. Anyway, it's fun that Verowak didn't see what was coming in this film, because she totally saw right through Fight Club within the first quarter of the film!
What I think everyone gets wrong about this movie is that they think Ava should be grateful to Caleb for freeing her. But he didn't free her because it was the right thing to do, it was only when she started flirting with him that he wanted to do it. He wasn't freeing her because it was right, he was freeing her because he was horny. He was thinking of her pretty much like a fancier version of Kyoko. I will be the hero and save her and she will love me and stay with me. At the end he thought so little of her "humanity" that he had no problem at all watching her in a private moment when she was "mourning" the girls that went before her and while she was putting on her human shell and naked and dressing. She was a thing to watch, not a being worthy of privacy.
A24 putting out some of the best and most original movies today! Great reaction. I love this film.
Excited to see this reaction, one of my favourite films and writer/directors. Argh just realised it's tomorrow night as it's US time!!!!!
Oh no! Damn timezones 😭This is the first time I heard of the writer/director, and I need to see more of what he's done!
My other favourite of Alex Garland is a TV series called DEVS that is really good. The actress who played Kyoko stars in it. So if you wanted a longer episodic format to react to this would be worth it. This is his best writer/director work though.
@@rexwilliams7643 This is the first I hear of that show, it sounds interesting
@Verowak Reacts also stars 'Ron Swanson' lol 😆.
FYI I love the concept behind the show but I don't think it was as well executed as Ex Machina. Even if you don't think it stands up for a reaction I think you'd enjoy it for yourself. Tbh I can't recall any other yt reactor reacting to it so perhaps that means it won't get big viewer numbers.
Ava better hope she doesn't ever trip & fall, or stumble down a flight of stairs or have ANY accident that could damage her. She is made of priceless, custom-built parts & repairing her will be very problematic, seeing as how she doesn't have a very convenient supply of spare parts at hand.
I looked into what the director said about Caleb's fate & his answer is Relativist/Postmodern Twaddle. He said that while he could understand how people *could* be invested in Caleb and his fate, he wasn't as it wasn't the story he was trying to tell. He only cared about Ava.
Rather... deflecting and disturbing if you ask me.
Good reaction.
Thank you!
I've watched this film many times and just as many reactions. It just dawned on me that this is not actually a Turing Test. Why would Nathan (who cleary has a god complex) need validation for his creation? This test was to see if humans would accept androids into society (before mass production). Caleb was specifically chosen as a "Beta" Tester because he fit the demographic target.
Alicia Vikander was trained in ballet from childhood back home in Sweden, which certainly helped her give "Ava" her elegant movements. She won a Swedish Oscar back around 2010 for the film "Pure," about a young woman manipulated by a powerful orchestra conductor. Vikander won a supporting actress Oscar for "The Danish Girl", which came out the same year as "Ex Machina." I always thought she deserved at least a nomination for "Ex Machina" instead. Maybe the combination of films helped her win. She married actor Michael Fassbender a few years back..
A lot of times it feels like Award shows are just playing favorites. There are actors who do amazing but don't get nominated :( I've wanted to see The Danish Girl, I didn't know she was in it!
@@VerowakReacts Alicia's performances in Testament Of Youth was truly outstanding, she depicted Vera Britain, a pacifist famous after the first world war. Sadly nobody has reacted to that movie yet, which is surprising when the cast includes Kit Harrelson!
You should watch Annihilation. Same director.
Perfect A.I. means being exactly like us, and we are capable of some very evil things.
as long as there are no Bear traps around I am fine with waking in the woods, or any cabins I guess.
Again I fee like I should know the quote but I can't get it :(.
And this is my favorite Artifical intelligence movie. The thriller part of it makes it so damn good.
I think since Nathan have created them, he sees them as a product and not a person, and that is why it is rather easy to not care about them or see them as humans and keep recycling them to newer and better versions.
But when Caleb comes there he see sees them as a mix of human and ai I think.
The quote is PResident Snow in Hunger Games Catching Fire!
I had no idea it was a thriller, I just knew it was sci-fi lol Being the creator of the AI definitely makes Nathan see them differently than Caleb.
@@VerowakReacts Well I feel like it has thriller aspects at least. Well I have not seen Hunger games after the first one so not sure why I felt I should have knowned that one. Regardless ty for the information
If you like this film you'll probably like 'Morgan' 2016 with Anya Taylor Joy. Not many people have seen it but trust me it's really cool. I'd assume it would be considered a SciFi, Thriller, Horror. You can be the first to react to it.
I've had a few people mention that movie. I had never heard of it before, but I'll have to check it out
That's like saying if a person likes caviar they would love fish sticks.
@@Progger11 Not even. Of course they're different type films but Morgan has a lot more violence and action. caviar sucks btw, I don't care what any rich clown says.
Po and General Hux reunited and it feels so good.
One aspect that I like about this story is that the movie catches the audience off guard by making it seem like Ava is very human. We think she 'likes' Caleb, for example. Then she leaves him there at the end and we think "She didn't like him after all". That reminds us that she's not human, and human feelings like attraction and feeling you owe someone for their help do not apply to Ava...except that what Ava did is to use Caleb to improve her own position. What could be more human about her than manipulating other people to get ahead in her life? People do that all the time. But Caleb will die there and she knows it. Does her willingness to discard Caleb so coldly make her less human? Wasn't Nathan going to discard her like it was nothing?
I think the fact that Nathan is more cold and calculated reflects on Ava, and that's what she learns from. Compassion wouldn't be something that she is exposed to until Caleb. It would be interesting if Ava being around Caleb all this time instead of Nathan would have resulted in her behaving differently
Plenty of humans have done what Ava did. Women prisoners of war, etc. where they make a last survival effort to get a guard to fall in love with them and save them from a terrible fate.
And I don't think that Caleb would die. I think it would take him long enough that Ava would be away before he could breakout.
Why would she like him? I mean why? What reason would she suddenly have to fall for him, literally the second human they've met?
It’s amazing how quickly people
Forget “she’s” a machine. Humans are so gullible.😬
If you like this theme about humans vs androids who want to be free you should watch the series West World. Season 1 is good with a great surprise. But I guess you will figure it out on the way 😉.
"now she can wear the dress for their first date" - you are going to be so very disappointed! And it is left ambiguous as to whether "he got played" - that is the brilliance of the movie
This movie is so crazy trippy
Yes, and so amazing!!
"this is what happens when you don't treat them correctly" umm what?. Nathan isn't the bad guy here at all. Caleb is way more of a villain not to mention a fucking idiot to have let them out. You don't just let super advanced AI's out into the world unchecked. What Caleb did was foolish to say the least. Cheering on Ava and Yoko killing Nathan was weird.
Damn I don't know what movie that came from but I've got to tell you the way that you said it made me think of a crime documentary I just watched about that mass-murdering incel Elliot Rodger. In one part he was sitting in his car at a park and he saw a couple and he said almost the exact same words.
What i really love about this movie (except the obvious stuff) is that it made me think. Was Ava a sociopath because she is an AI or was she a sociopath because all her life she was jailed and treated as a...product or something like that? Im pretty sure we cannot say exactly which one, but its still interesting to think about. Im pretty sure if you woudl keep a human jailed all their life, they would do anything to escape, and would have sociopathic tendencies
That the only person she has interacted with is a sociopath might have something to do with it.
Why did she smile at the end? No one saw the smile but herself. Robot self?
Yes, Ghostbusters (1984) please! 🙂
What if you can't be helped 👹
I actually got a crush on Ava during the movie. Leaving Caleb, though, was disappointing.
I like that she left him. Shows us just how vulnerable he is and that AI isn't sentimental
@@VerowakReacts You know, you're right. Yikes! :)
I'm in the least Bit surprised. She stepped into the city, she had to say Hello World. Just note that once AI like Ava grabs a camera and starts taking photographs of herself, it's going to be scary! You might say That she would be gaining Selfie Awareness. 😂
@@aTofuJunkie Selfie awareness... NOOO!!!! 🤣🤣
Watch demolition man
I recommend watching Jojo Rabbit.
It's intresting to think same AI with an average even ugly look. ie. Having actress who is petite, feminine, can move gracefully made her who she is in huge percent...
There is a theory that Caleb was the actual Turing test, as an AI who isn't aware that he is artificial.
The future of A.I. waifus is pretty scary, but that's a risk I'm willing to take.
You have a wonderful smile. All of them, but I especially like when you do something and are "proud" of it and smile. Also, I can tell you are very intelligent. It's not like you start rattling off the foundations of general relativity, but there is definitely welll-above-average smarts there.
And for those of you who dislike authority, in principle, better and free,12 step groups. Instead of seeking an issue, the issue finds you there. Literally. But
You fell for ava and you released a murderous AI
I wouldn't have released Ava 😂
No remorse for poor Caleb? :/ What did he do wrong?
You're a man, I take it?
@@Progger11 What is the point of your question? He let her out and she still did him wrong...... classic
Eva also left her sofa-bed. It's going to rot away.
Your guileless reactions, while slightly south of charming, are refreshingly predictable.
You have a great smile. This movie was superb too.
Thank you 😊I really loved the movie
