I kept thinking that the interviewer was a robot because he opened his wrist and didn't die
- that's what he was thinking, and realized that he was bleeding really bad, and stoppedmonospaced
- Slitting his own wrists in thinking that he could be unwary of being a robot.omg

Mate, this movie is something. Was glued. Agreed with the criticisms in this thread, but feel they were small and easy to overlook, no movie is perfect. I also liked the mystery and gaps in the plot. Overall a very very solid film.
- this + bladerunner + ghost in the shell = would make a great movie marathoninteliboy

At one point I thought the "twist" was going to be that he watched the video and found out the tech CEO was also a robot. The original guy died a long time ago and the robots were just self replicating themselves.

I thought this was a pretty good movie. I was kind of sad the tech ceo died. If you are bored, go.

saw it the other day. not bad at all and was worth a watch. some plot inconsistencies that can be ignored as mentioned here before me.
the only thing i could not ignore is below par acting by two male characters. a few scenes were were very bad.- and yes, i was mostly impressed by the house.renderedred

it was pretty amazing.. there were a lot of plot holes tho.. like how is AVA supposed to survive in the real world if she always had to charge off those special charging pads on the wall..
- what charging pads? I missed thatMiguex
- Charging AVA is not a plot inconsistency, just an unknown.BrokenHD
- One part that seemed forced was how quickly the guy snapped and started cutting himselfyuekit
- she says she uses the charging pads to reverse the flow of the power, which causes the shutdowns.autoflavour

Great movie. It makes you wonder whether something like this (AI gaining consciousness and passing Turing Test) will happen within our lifetimes. And if so, will it be treated as almost a religious event due to how we have been conditioned by popular culture etc.

Spoiler alert!
Dude gets played by a female robot.

^ i figured that's what we were meant to believe, but i couldn't fathom his character developing feelings in those six sessions. suspension of disbelief moment for me i suppose..

Saw it this weekend. Still sticking with me two days later. Great, great movie. It makes foggy concepts above the morality of creating a consciousness crystal clear and digestible. Any conscious being would want to secure its existent indefinitely and AVA was calculated in achieving it. The message is also clear, we really need to stop and think about what we're doing going down this road we're on.
@stevejobs, programmer background, or no, i think the AI was so well done, that he did develop feelings, (attachment, compassion et al). AVA manipulated him from the beginning—pressing <em> his </em>buttons.
Will watch again.

Just saw it yesterday going in and knowing nothing about it.
Good film but it's still marinating for me... There's a lot to like but something kinda bugged me throughout and I can't put my finger on it.
Perhaps it's that I can't understand his motive for why he wanted to free AVA. It's just an AI and as an engineer I think knowing that would create a constant sense of detachment, whereas it seemed he almost developed a sense of feelings for the robot.
Or maybe something bigger and more profound eluded me causing me to miss 'the point' altogether?
