Alex Garland’s Ex Machina is a beautiful psychological science fiction drama. In it, Garland explores the themes of humanity, the natural world, and evolution. The film is about a Turing test that will determine the consciousness of an AI, and it forces us to examine our own consciousness at the same time. We do not know what our own consciousness is.
