CONTAINS SPOILERS ! This is a Special Podcast film review with Sonja-The Squeamer -Hammer as she checks out this latest sci-fi-android-A.I-robot movie from Alex Garland ( writer of movies such as 28 Days Later and Sunshine) with his movie debut where he portrays the philosophy of Artificial Intelligence in a very human way ( and gender specific way).

‘ It’s a deft, thought-provoking piece of filmmaking that asks tough questions about technology, gender, and — like some of the very best science fiction — the inherent deficiencies in human nature itself. At the center of it all is the relationship between two characters: a shy programmer named Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson) and a robot named Ava (Alicia Vikander), who may represent the first example of truly sentient artificial intelligence.’ theverge.com

What does The Squeamer think? What is it REALLY about ? And what NEXT for humanity and sharing the world we inhabit with A.I?

How does this movie rate with this theme?

Listen to the Podcast and dare to find out..and YES It DOES contain SPOILERS!!

Ex_Machina stars: Domhall Gleeson, Oscar Isaac, Sonoya Mizuno and Alicia Vikander.
