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

Finally saw it (thanks Amazon for finally renting it). It was a very good movie and keep thinking about it, but I can't get over the holes.
- Such smart guys and they can't think that there's a chance of manipulation?
- Cards to get into rooms? Best tech in the world and anyone can get into any room and do anything?
- No security for Ava? He already knew they'd go crazy trying to get out and yet just a simple door is the only security?
- Such an advanced place and no detection of the power surges?Loved the movie, the mood, the pace, the subtleties, but man, it drives me crazy when there are such blatant holes in an otherwise fascinating take on AI.
- Very cool. I didn't think it would be available yet.CyBrainX

Mechanically speaking, in between her legs was an opening with a concentration of many sensors. Engage them the right way, would create a pleasure response she would enjoy. Thoughts?

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.

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

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?

I enjoyed it, 3/5

Although it has some basic modernist concepts that have been done to death in the sci-fi world, I felt the film was well crafted and entertaining.

No but do want to see it.
A lot of films based around these themes at the moment.

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.

^ 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..
