Honest Trailer: Ex Machina



Screen Junkies jumps ten years back in time for an Honest Trailer about the 2014 Ex Machina. It was writer and director Alex Garland's first film, exploring the subject of artificial intelligence and frankly, artificial people. It starred Domhnall Gleeson and Oscar Isaac just before they became forever associated with Star Wars, although you might not even recognize them in this film if you haven't seen it. I recall thinking the movie was about a man falling in love with an android, but it's a bit more complicated than that. When you mix in emotions, artificial intelligence can prove to be much smarter than flesh-and-blood people. This Honest Trailer leaves you with the idea that Screen Junkies actually liked the movie, even though they found plenty to poke fun at.
