Ex Machina

Our local theater at the Mahoning Mall has been booking some very interesting movies lately.  On Saturday night we saw Ex Machina, a film built on the Turing Test.  Alan Turing in 1950 said we would have created artificial intelligence if a human interacting with a computer or a machine would not be able to tell that he or she was interacting with a machine.

In the film a very rich computer company founder has developed a robot he calls Eva.  He brings in a young employee of his company to determine if the robot passes the test.  

I certainly won’t tell you the ending, which might not come as too much of a surprise if you remember Mary Shelley and Frankenstein’s monster.  I do urge you to see the movie.

As a bonus,the film contains a very funny dance routine.  

If you do not like this film, I will refund your ticket price.*
