    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Director Alex Garland has described the future presented in the film as "ten minutes from now," meaning, "If somebody like Google or Apple announced tomorrow that they had made Ava, we would all be surprised, but we wouldn't be that surprised."
    • Goofs
      When Ava and Kyoko meet in the corridor, there are masks on the wall. At the end of the scene, the masks are gone.
    • Quotes

      Nathan: One day the AIs are going to look back on us the same way we look at fossil skeletons on the plains of Africa. An upright ape living in dust with crude language and tools, all set for extinction.

      Caleb: I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.

      Nathan: There you go again, Mr. Quotable.

      Caleb: There you go again. It's not my quote. It's what Oppenheimer said after he made

      Nathan, Caleb: The atomic bomb.

      Nathan: Yeah, I know what it is, dude.

    • Crazy credits
      The end credits starts with a single dot in the background which then grows and various patterns emerge from it.
    • Alternate versions
      The alternatively censored cut released in China featured frequent blurs of nudity and, on occasion, violence. One scene towards the end also seemed to be zoomed for no apparent reason.

    8/10
    Not what I expected...
    This is a story that explores a wide range of topics including philosophy, psychology, theories about the future/mankind, and more! The twists/turns in this movie are done really well and the ending defied my expectations. While it was a bit slow a few times, I thought that it was ultimately worth going through. At times it was creepy and makes you feel uncomfortable yet at other times it was beautiful and had impressive acting as well. All 3-4 of the main cast did great!! I loved the music in the more intense scenes as well, and whatever sound effects they used that weren't quite music but worked well subtly enhancing the mood. It was a modern-day Blade Runner!
