How A Low Budget Sci-Fi Movie Revolutionized Visual Effects 

@@ijmad Same composers too

Came here to recommend Devs also. What Garland does for Robotics in Ex Machina, Devs does with Quantum reality.

@@ijmad GAWD. Devs is the best show I’ve seen in a minute

Several of those are directed by Danny Boyle as well. They made for a terrific team together.

Dredd as well

She has a very distinctive voice. A few years back, she narrated a documentary on Ingrid Bergman in her native language (Swedish) which I think fit perfectly as well.

@@Jonteponte71 What a fantastic voice for narration!

He doesn't mention technologies used. He talks about greenscreen not being used but greenscreen was never an option for these setups.

Devs is almost certainly his greatest work and it's a tragedy how few people have watched it. It's also probably Nick Offermans best performance, The Last Of Us included

Oh, I loved DEVS. I didn’t know that was also Garland’s work.

Had no idea Devs was from the same guy. Though they just copied this movie 😂

It sounds like a lot of real-life girls, sadly.

Calm down. It's CGI-driven SCIENCE FICTION.

It already has, we just haven't realized it yet.

Also Avengers 2 & Jurassic World

Star Wars VII should have easily won, no doubt. Besides, winning Oscars nowadays doesn't mean much. So biased and unprofessional.

1. Oscar is overrated. Just like Ex Machina and Sunshine. 2. Mad Max is not on my favourites list, not a movie I'll waste my time re-watching but... It's orders of magnitude better than Ex Machina and Sunshine combined both in terms of storytelling and visual effects. The latter two movies are on my "I wish I didn't know they existed" list. Mad Max tells a good consistent story with astonishing live stunt work. Ex Machina and Sunshine are giant plotholes wrapped in commonplace CGI.

That’s honestly not saying much. Computers hands-down are going to make things look spectacular. But when it comes to people like Christopher Nolan, George Miller, Stanley Kubrick and John Carpenter all are on the Mt. Rushmore of Practical effects and I will honestly watch any of their movies versus movies that are 90% CGI. Because I know that they put in the time the effort and the quality of what I am spending my money on to see those type of movies.

@@Kritacul Nolan has gone completely crazy. He uses practical effects as a gimmick because he knows his fans love saying "Oh no way, he didn't used CGI for this!".

This wasn't "artificial sentience", it was a highly skilled actor performing a convincing impersonation of an automaton, enhanced by brute-force CGI.

@@QuicksilverSG Yes I am aware that the movie was fiction. My point is that I believe it is one of the most accurate portrayals of artificial sentience, particularly in the way it ended.

The books were even better!

Underrated no, it was well rated. But it was surely underachieving.

I'd say after. I like to immerse myself in the rawness of a film before I listen to critics. Especially for your impression in a class, you can compare and contrast your thoughts the first time, and after a second.

I would watch the movie first! Then take a look at the video

Definitely after

Arguably, you could do it either way, since there isn't anything *super* spoilery in this video, but I agree with what others have said that it's better to watch the review video after, so everything feels fresh while you're watching the movie.

I think you mean overrated.

@HOMEN no I clearly meant UNDER hence why I wrote it that way.

@@rogueprince1341 Oh? Shame

Worse than that. It's more a watered down "Robocop" than it was the 1995 film (Which, yes, I know isn't completely faithful to the original manga and that it has some elements from Stand Alone Complex, but it's clearly cribbing more from the 95' film than anything.). Any of the intriguing ideas that come up in that film is pretty much done away with, and the one interesting idea the film had about the Major having once been a female asian runaway that was changed into a white woman more comes off as a meta joke to defend itself about the casting rather than anything it wants to actually talk about.

I think his chronic drinking shows that maybe he's depressed, and might want to kill himself? Might be a stretch, but it could imply him wanting to be killed by his servant, thus making it part of a plan.

You are so dumb you need the filmmaker to explain everything to you. Alex has some respect for his audience’s intelligence. Clearly he underestimated yours

I think it actually depicts big CEOs very accurately: they have the brains but disregulated emotionality, vanity, pride and often fall for the need to be admired... Coff, coff Elon Musk coff, coff

@@atuvera9021 what!? that guy may a robot with a super advance AI, he should not be that dumb and Elon Musk, made billions he has the power and influence of a country, what power and influence do you have?

​@@rafresendenrafresenden.1644 Musk has influence, he has skills, he has money, but he lacks self awareness. Besides, we are talking about a fictional character based on archetypes of the mad scientist. I've said what i've said. Deal with it.

Because they will have their own original idea but marved doesn't want that they just want puppets.

@@nothingspecial3131 huh????

"cis programmer, Caleb". Cis is shorthand for cisgender, which means your gender matches your anatomy.

@@xVancha I don't think he's saying "cis", but rather "sys" as in system. Sys programmers and sys admins are common shorthands in the tech space.

Mhm

Lol

Name one

One, that the AI creator, the billionaire dude was such a drunk. With you on this.

Being drunk and alone in his complex without anyone to help or monitor or give support in case of emergencies. Which are pretty much inevitable because of his oversights that include not looking into the power problems,having security issues or not programing safeguards against his creations hurting him.

ok. your opinion is noted.

How exactly did you measure its influence?

@@HAZARDOUS88 well to me it’s not as influential basically I didn’t see why a lot of people liked it as much as they did.

It's not referring to gender - he's saying "sys" as in "system", not "cis". Sys programmers and sys admins are common shorthands in the tech space.

thats not what he was talking about but also die angry : ) you smell like dog buns
