    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The location of the house in the movie is the Juvet Landscape Hotel in Norway.
    • Goofs
      When Ava and Kyoko meet in the corridor, there are masks on the wall. At the end of the scene, the masks are gone. Correction: The camera angle is not a reverse shot along the same corridor with the masks. The camera has moved to where Kyoto is standing, turned 90 degrees right and is looking down the corridor she came from. When Nathan finds them, he is looking from the other end of the corridor where Kyoto came from.
    • Quotes

      Nathan: One day the AIs are going to look back on us the same way we look at fossil skeletons on the plains of Africa. An upright ape living in dust with crude language and tools, all set for extinction.

      Caleb: I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.

      Nathan: There you go again, Mr. Quotable.

      Caleb: There you go again. It's not my quote. It's what Oppenheimer said after he made...

      Nathan, Caleb: ...the atomic bomb.

      Nathan: Yeah, I know what it is, dude.

    • Crazy credits
      The end credits starts with a single dot in the background which then grows and various patterns emerge from it.
    • Alternate versions
      The alternatively censored cut released in China featured frequent blurs of nudity and, on occasion, violence. One scene towards the end also seemed to be zoomed for no apparent reason.

    Humans and their opinions

    I don't often feel the need to review films on here, but after I have seen a film I like to see other peoples opinions, as I find it interesting, although very annoying too. It shouldn't annoy me I guess, but when thoughtless, nonsense, throwaway films are given 10 stars, and films that have a lot of thought and effort put into them are picked apart and given low ratings by idiots I get wound up. Anyway, I loved this film. Watched it last night on DVD. It has depth and darkness and leaves you with something, as great writers and directors can only seen to do occasionally. It is very atmospheric, with a great soundtrack, great performances by each actor. If you like action films, why do you go to see this? Reviews are always available online here. It is pretty obvious that this film is meant to be intelligent and thought provoking, rather than all-action Hollywood. If you have a short attention span then you will probably not like this film. Give it a chance and get drawn in... it's great.
