As a person I am usually against being politically correct because people become extremely sensitive to certain issues. Even then I must admit my hypocrisy when certain issues are expressed in the most inane and simple ways just to sell a ticket. This is not something unusual for Hollywood, many of their films have no sense of true empathy for characters that can be considered “other”.

The role of technology in the 21st century is one of the most important topics of our time, and has been reflected in many of our current films. Movies such as Her, Wall-E, Minority Report, and The Matrix all delve into the possibilities of technology-obsessed society, and Ex Machina is no exception. Caleb, a young computer programmer, ventures deep into the forest to participate in a study of the human qualities of the incredibly life-like robot, Ava.
