Before Civil War and Annihilation, Alex Garland unleashed Ex Machina on the world. The writer/director takes pages from the likes of The Terminator, Westworld, and, even in a small way, Frankenstein. The idea of one's creation becoming sentient has been a benchmark of sci-fi and horror films since their inception. With Ex Machina, Garland molds the themes of playing God, exploitation of women, and humanity's eventual demise into a 108-minute mission around the greatest fears of humankind regarding A.I. It's both a confrontation with reality and a plea that it's not too late to turn back.
