In 2014, Ex Machina showed us an AI so human it could manipulate, charm, and outthink the people who built her 💀 Back then it felt like sci-fi. A cool “what if.” Now? We’re living it. The conversations that film was having over a decade ago are the exact conversations we’re having about AI right now. That’s what great science fiction does. It doesn’t predict the future to scare us, it holds up a mirror and asks: are we ready for what we’re building? 🎬 Ex Machina hits so different in 2025. If you haven’t watched it (or haven’t rewatched it lately), now’s the time. Follow along if you love films that make you think, I break down the movies that stay with us 🫶 #exmachina #ai #filmanalysis #substackwriter #oscarisaac
