Ex Machina

A coder wins a week at his boss’s house and is asked to test whether a robot can pass for a person. Garland keeps the test in glass rooms and cuts the outside world down to a helicopter and a waterfall. Oscar Isaac’s Nathan is hosting and grading at once. Alicia Vikander’s Ava learns the room faster than the test allows. Domhnall Gleeson thinks he is the examiner. The A24 trailer shows the face pulling away from the machine. The session notes are the plot.
