Check out these alternative new posters created by artists Francesco Francavilla and Jock for director Alex Garland’s brilliant sci-fi movie EX MACHINA.

In his review, Matt Zoller Seitz (rogerebert.com) rightly calls it “a classic film.”

Catch this intelligent, must-see film this weekend, if you live in NY and LA, or when it opens nationwide on April 24th. You wont see another movie like it this year.

Garland, writer of 28 DAYS LATER and SUNSHINE, makes his directorial debut with the stylish and cerebral thriller, EX MACHINA. Caleb Smith (Domhnall Gleeson), a programmer at an internet-search giant, wins a competition to spend a week at the private mountain estate of the company’s brilliant and reclusive CEO, Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac).

Upon his arrival, Caleb learns that Nathan has chosen him to be the human component in a Turing Test – charging him with evaluating the capabilities, and ultimately the consciousness, of Nathan’s latest experiment in artificial intelligence.

That experiment is Ava (Alicia Vikander), a breathtaking A.I. whose emotional intelligence proves more sophisticated – and more deceptive – than the two men could have imagined.

The eerie electronic score by composers Ben Salisbury and Geoff Barrow (of Portishead) was mixed by Rupert Coulson.

Coulson said:

Using only bespoke sounds created by themselves in their studios in Bristol, it captures the dark, brooding, interplay between the three protagonists perfectly. The film is set mostly underground with an almost claustrophobic atmosphere which builds to an intense climax. We mixed it at Air Lyndhurst Studio Two.

“It’s this sort of a mix of organic and electronic sounds, which is very appropriate in terms of the subject matter of the film,” Salisbury tells Rolling Stone.

“People could listen to Ex Machina and go, ‘Yeah that sounds like a standard electronic score.’ But, to us it doesn’t feel like that,’ says Barrow. “When people have a cup of tea, they might say, ‘Oh, it tastes like tea.’ But for us, I know we individually packed every little tea leaf into that bag.”

The film is rated R.
