"This movie is such a strange little treasure. It is brilliantly bizarre, from the main conceit to the fact that Cameron Diaz (at her very best; I miss her) plays a terribly coiffed chimpanzee enthusiast. Admit it, right now you’re thinking about that scene where John Malkovich enters the portal into his own brain, and all anyone can say is the word “Malkovich.” A masterpiece of unapologetic, creative weirdness."

"Scandinavian cinema has, I admit, obsessed me for most of my career as a critic. But all credit to Criterion for giving this bizarre and seductive silent film from 1922 the same loving attention as they would a new release by Richard Linklater or Mike Leigh. For extra value, the DVD includes an abridged version of the movie issued in 1968, with a sly offscreen narration by William S. Burroughs."

This is no Ex Machina
Ex Machina is a great film, and I'd expected lots from this new film from Alex Garland, but sadly it doesn't live up to expectations.

The basic plot starts off well and even when they first venture into the shimmer, it's intriguing and actually pretty bizarre and interesting. It's just a shame that it soon turns into just plain old bizarre and is far too slow paced, going so far as being boring in parts.


Oscar Isaac is vastly underused in this, and the rest of the cast too either have little to work with or just arent very good. And the ending is just ridiculously bonkers with a very odd soundtrack that really doesn't fit with the scene. There's a lot that isn't elaborated on either but apparently is in the book, and the endings are completely different too.


This had potential but sadly really missed the mark.

Yeah I wasnt impressed. Ive also heard that the reason it went straight to Netflix is because the test screenings went very badly... But you never know, you might enjoy it!
