Nine Movies you watch this April


Among the current crop of films about artificial intelligence (Big Hero 6, Chappie), this is a robot movie that can think for itself: according to geneticist Adam Rutherford, who acted as scientific adviser, “it’s a straight, creepy thriller, and yet it treats these very important philosophical questions”. With a cast including Oscar Isaac (A Most Violent Year) and with Alex Garland (The Beach, 28 Days Later) at the helm, it’s drawn praise as “an intriguingly stripped-down sci-fi thriller about artificial intelligence that’s fully attuned to its more blockbuster elements yet pleasingly cerebral at the same time”. Seasoned screenwriter Garland makes his directorial debut with a story about a reclusive billionaire (played by Isaac) attempting to create a sentient machine. It takes the form of Ava, half-naked and beautiful – which has prompted debate over whether Garland is offering up feminist science fiction or an exercise in objectification. Gender politics aside, Ex Machina moves the genre forward: Forbes called it “one of the best science-fiction movies in years”. Released 10 April in the US, 16 April in Italy and 23 April in Germany.
