Release Date: April 10, 2015 Studio: A24 Director: Alex Garland Screenwriter: Alex Garland Starring: Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson, Alicia Vikander Genre: Sci-Fi, Thriller Website: meet-ava.com/Plot Summary: Alex Garland, writer of "28 Days Later" and "Sunshine," makes his directorial debut with the stylish and cerebral thriller, "Ex Machina." Caleb Smith (Domhnall Gleeson), a programmer at an internet-search giant, wins a competition to spend a week at the private mountain estate of the company's brilliant and reclusive CEO, Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac). Upon his arrival, Caleb learns that Nathan has chosen him to be the human component in a Turing Test - charging him with evaluating the capabilities, and ultimately the consciousness, of Nathan’s latest experiment in artificial intelligence. That experiment is Ava (Alicia Vikander), a breathtaking A.I. whose emotional intelligence proves more sophisticated, seductive--and more deceptive--than the two men could have imagined.

100% and an 8.3/10 rating on RT after 12 reviews (3 top critics).
It also received 4/5 stars from Empire, which hasn't been counted yet.
Hopefully I'll be seeing this some time next week.
