The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Ex Machina (2015)

Starring: Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson, Alicia Vikander, Sonoya MIzuno
Director: Alex Garland

Premise:
A worker is chosen to spend time at the retreat of his boss, an millionaire genius recluse. It becomes apparent he is there to evaluate the latest invention... artificial intelligence.

My Take:
I have always enjoyed Alex Garland's work as a novelist. As a first time director he shows great command in this interesting tale. It's slow moving and ramps up on the twisted side the longer the movie goes on.

Rating: So Good

Watched: Netflix DVD
