If sentient robots with questionable morals are your bag, chances are your attention has been turned to this summer's Avengers: Age of Ultron. But for those looking for something a bit less superhero-y that tackles a number of themes related to the use of artificial intelligence, Alex Garland's directorial debut Ex Machina may be the way to go.
A new trailer for the film opens up a number of questions, while still appearing to be a gripping, nuanced thriller. Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Domhnall Gleeson and Oscar Isaac lead the film which centers on a lonely computer programmer recruited by his company's eccentric CEO to take part in testing his new creation. It turns out to be a highly advanced artificial intelligence named Ava (Alicia Vikander), a cyborg in the form of a woman.
Ex Machina hit SXSW this week and will open in theaters on April 10th.
