Ex Machina and Creative Control Blog Post

I had to watch this film seven times to understand the beginning. Just kidding, I use mild attentiveness when watching it the first time. Regardless of the amount of times viewed, Ex Machina (Alex Garland 2015) is a simply ridiculous film. This film is a anthropologically enhanced version of Avatar on cocaine. Alright, once again, just kidding. Partially. Ex Machina delves into a genre of film that is sometimes hard to take seriously. Most robot films are either animated (Wall-E) or just went with the big explosions and "get to the choppa". This film takes on the outer edges of the reality of human and robot interactions, and does it quite well honestly.

Creative Control. Is this the name of the film or the name of an required IB course? Just kidding (sips tea). But on a more serious note, this film is so interesting to me because it takes a more serious and sad tone to an all too real idea. The over development and intrusion of technology on human lives. This film made me incredulous to Apple. Just kidding. But it did have a significant effect on my not only as an audience member, but as a member of society who looks from his Iphone, only to see 100 other people on their Iphones. A bit scary in retrospect.
