Is it immoral to fall in love with a machine? If not, Vikander's nuts and bolts are welcome at my pad.
Domhnall Gleeson (yep, Brendan's kid) wins a company contest to spend a week with reclusive CEO at his very remote retreat. Once there he learns he will help to test the latest AI advancements as represented by Alicia Vikander. Nathan (Issac) leads Gleeson through a week of confusion and thought provoking encounters with a machine he becomes attached to. As Gleeson gets emotionally closer to Vikander she reciprocates in kind and become anxious to escape Nathan and his life or death power over her.
Gleeson, IMO, outshines Issac in this one. Issac is showing signs of Pacino Syndrome because you have no doubt who he is. Vikander plays the best, most naively seductive robot to date. Take me away.
Not too predictable, well drawn characters, and an ending that will not surprise so much as amuse.
The sci-fi guys must see this and it's a good movie for anyone looking to break the awful monotony of chick flicks and mindless comedies we have been bombarded with these days.
