Ex Machina is Coming to Tubi and it Will Mess With You
One of the smartest sci-fi films of the last decade is almost here, and it has only gotten more relevant.
Remind MeThere is a version of this story that is just a thriller about a robot. Ex Machina is not that version. What Alex Garland built in 2013 is a film that gets under your skin slowly and deliberately, using a deceptively simple setup to ask questions that do not have clean answers. The kind of film you finish and then sit with for a while.
A programmer named Caleb is invited to a remote research facility to meet Ava, an artificial intelligence housed in a body that makes no attempt to hide what she is. The experiment is supposed to be straightforward. It is not straightforward. What unfolds across a handful of days in that isolated space is one of the most tightly constructed psychological puzzles in recent sci-fi.
Ex Machina arrives on Tubi soon. If you have not seen it, this is the moment to fix that. If you have, you already know why it is worth a second look.
Cast
Alicia Vikander
Vikander plays Ava with a precision that is genuinely unsettling. She moves like someone who has studied human behavior from the outside, and every small gesture lands. It is the kind of performance that makes you forget you are watching someone act.
Domhnall Gleeson
Gleeson plays Caleb, the programmer brought in to evaluate Ava, and he carries the audience's perspective the whole way through. His mix of curiosity, unease, and growing attachment makes every scene feel grounded even as things get stranger around him.
Oscar Isaac
Isaac plays Nathan, the reclusive genius who built Ava and controls everything about this situation. He is charming and deeply uncomfortable in equal measure. The tension between his warmth and his authority runs through the entire film.
Sonoya Mizuno
Mizuno plays Kyoko, Nathan's assistant, in a role that says very little but communicates a great deal. Her presence in the film is quiet and precise, and the scenes she is in carry a specific kind of weight that only becomes clear later.
“Isn't it strange, to create something that might be your superior?”
Sneak Peek
Why you Should Watch
Ex Machina works because it never lets you settle. Every scene is constructed to make you question what you are being shown and who you are supposed to trust. Garland keeps the film in an almost constant state of low-level dread without ever tipping into chaos. It is a film that respects your intelligence and then uses that against you.
This is for anyone who wants their sci-fi to have real weight behind it. It is not interested in spectacle for its own sake. It earned its BAFTA for Best British Film and its Oscar for Visual Effects, and both feel right once you have seen it. Coming soon to Tubi.
