Ex Machina (2014)
Artificial Intelligence for dummies
Well, admittedly I have watched this movie with interest and found it quite intriguing and well directed. The idea is fascinating and you struggle to understand who is the good and who is the bad. THe plot is solid and give a good performance. However,my vote is just a 6 as this movie in my opinion fails to shows the reality of artificial intelligence and at the end leaves you with little, just a predictable story and a very simplified version of AI, which may be far away from the "future" reality.. I have read plenty of books about this subject and I imagine AI in a completely different way. If you want to watch a movie about AI, I would strongly recommend "Trascendece"-
Solstice (2008)
Believe me, don't waste your time
I generally give a go to horror movies which scores 5 or higher on IMDb and this was one of those movies. However I am very much disappointed and surprised of the high rating.
I will keep it short, since there is very little to tell. This is not an horror movie, it is a mystery talking about a group of teenagers spending a few days in a house in the wood.
There is really nothing impressive, storyline is boring and predictable, there is no gore or scaring scenes, just the acting is pretty decent.
Believe me, do not waste your time, you are about to watch another boring and predictable mystery movies with a very poor and predictable story.
3/10
Gravity (2013)
Incredible on a big screen, just good at home
I will start by saying that this movie does not deserve a 8.7 rating. Really it does not.
Visually it deserves a 9. The movie is visually stunning and Alfonso Cuaron really knows where to put his camera. You will be amazed watching this movie in a 3d cinema. Incredible space views of the Earth and special effects probably make this movie the best space sci-fi ever produced.
However, the writing is quite predictable..Yes, we cannot put this movie in the same league of Fight Club, Schindler's List or Forrest Gump as current IMDb s rating is suggesting. This will be an easily forgettable movie, starts well, slow down to a point where you will start to be bored in the middle of the movie.
To conclude, I think this movie deserves a 7 out of 10. 9 visually and 6 for the writing.
