“IT’S a rare thing to see a movie about science that takes no prisoners intellectually. (This film)…<\/i> is just that: a stylish, spare and cerebral psycho-techno-thriller, which gives a much-needed shot in the arm for smart science fiction” – Anil Seth, New Scientist<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In this scientifically scrupulous tour-de-force, Nathan, creative genius behind artificially intelligent robot Ava, selects young programmer, Caleb, to becomes the human component in a ‘Turing Test’ to evaluate the human capabilities of the breathtakingly beautiful Ava. The tense twists and turns of the plot centre on their relationship and the age-old question: what is consciousness?<\/p>\n
