Ex Machana

Strengths: Acting, Setting, Robot Desigin, Nudity, Intimacy and Dark Tone

Weaknesses: PLOT PLOT PLOT... This is obviously a little early after release to discuss spoilers, but you didn't roll your eyes at the convince of the whole "I did it LAST night" reveal?
Also Ava claims to start the outages by overloading the circuits with a spike of of electricity when she charges, yet multiple times the outages happen when she is sitting being interviewed. This led me to believe that there might yet be another explanation, but no, it's just poor writing.

You just listed 6 great things about it, one thing that was overlooked by the writers, and one thing that you personally felt it was cheesy.

So yes, I'm going to stick with my evaluation that it is great.

What if I told you Pitch Perfect 2 relies on a lot of racist jokes to get laughs?

I would totally believe that you saw Pitch Perfect on opening night.

I couldn't help but think it was a long episode of Black Mirror. It probably has something to do with the fact that the redhead actually starred in one of the Black Mirror episodes, but the plot line fits in perfectly with that show.

Did anyone else feel that way?

Well the first one relied on just a bunch of people barfing to get laughs so I would believe you instantly.

They took the South Park approach and make fun of every race so it's really not racist.

there's one thing about ex mac that really bothered me at the end.

also my theater lost power when ava was putting on a dress and they didn't rewind when the movies started back up so i missed like probably like 5min right there

Stevesie60 · « **Reply #5744 on:** May 17, 2015, 02:56:59 AM »

If I'm remembering correctly, that's a pretty critical part to miss.

How was the movie still playing if the power was out? That makes no sense.

Backup power

I get that, but why did the backup power only work on some machines?

My assumption is the reel kept going but the projector didn't. I don't know TownieCat but I guess you'll just have to take my word for it
