A thriller set against the backdrop of artificial intelligence, Ex Machina was the first film directed by future Civil War film director Alex Garland. It was a critical failure in theaters at the time, but it is still one of the best sci-fi films of the 2000s!

When he wins a competition to spend a week at a remote mountain location owned by Nathan, his company's sole CEO, he discovers that he will actually have to participate in a strange and wonderful experiment in which he will have to interact with the former.

Danny Boyle's favorite screenwriter, for whom he wrote the scripts for The Beach, the hugely effective (and beloved!) 28 Days Later, and the phenomenal Sunshine (which we find still underrated), Alex Garland has deftly crossed a directorial milestone. Signing his first feature film in 2015: Ex Machina.

A specialist who worked in the field of artificial intelligence in the 1980s, when mainstream thinking held that a machine could be programmed to mimic human intelligence using a pre-defined set of conditions. It is also a book by the robotics scientist who inspired the film.

It's an understatement to say that this debut film from the future Civil War director completely missed its audience upon its release. In France, it did not even attract 70,000 spectators. Although the work has gained a reputation among moviegoers over the years, there are still a fair number of people to proselytize about this nugget.
