Had the pleasure of seeing this 2015 Sci-Fi/Drama over a week ago now and it’s still fresh in my mind as I’m sure it left lasting impression on all those who saw it. There’s a lot of buzz on this film written and directed by English Alex Garland (The Beach, 28 Days Later); it’s still in the cinemas but has already been nominated for a number of awards.
Starring Irish Domhnall Gleeson, Swedish Alicia Vikander and Guatemalan-American Oscar Isaac, this story was simplistic enough but held bounds and bounds of symbolism, philosophy and thought-provoking material. A wonderful yet eerie experiment gone sensationally wrong when interacting with a beautiful and intelligent robot woman.
Rated R for graphic nudity, language, sexual references and some violence it’s not suitable for the little ones; however a thrilling and un-obscene intellectual ride for those willing to be provoked. A run-time of 108 minutes and an estimated budget of 11 million pounds; it’s still making buzz and has already grossed $17 million USD back.
A disturbing and intense ride you wish didn’t end when it did - remarkable from start to finish.
