......via NETFLIX and found it to be intelligent, thought provoking, nuanced and entertaining sci fi cinema.

I predicted (and then noted) some similarities to the 2013 Joaquin Phoenix/Scarlett Johansson film and wondered if this might prove to be a "fleshing out" of the disembodied female A.I. consciousness in "Her."
Some nice, naked, female flesh did appear on screen, but I've decided "Ex Machina" reminded me more of 1956's "Forbidden Planet" {a re-imagining of Shakespeare's "The Tempest"} with a more modern and seductive robot than Robby and its own Monster(s) from the Id.
"Her" was my favorite film from it's movie year and it won Best Original Screenplay.
I didn't like "Ex Machina" as much.
IMHO, its acting wasn't as excellent and the story, as I mentioned, was somewhat derivative.
But I liked and enjoyed the flick.
And if you dig it even more, that's cool.
Any thoughts?
