WAMG Giveaway – Win the EX MACHINA DVD and Limited Edition Poster

EX MACHINA was a classy slice of cerebral sci-fi with a literary-cinematic heritage stretching back through BLADE RUNNER and METROPOLIS to FRANKENSTEIN. Director Alex Garland made an impressive debut behind camera, effectively directing with remote, minimal style. Swedish actress Alicia Vikander excelled in the film’s most important role as the sleek, sexy robot who struggles to come to terms with her humanity (or lack of it), giving a performance more about intuition and gesture than dialogue. The only real special effect in the film was the presentation of Ava with a human face, but mostly composed of wires and a partly transparent body, and it was seamless. An electro soundtrack by Geoff Barrow added to the retro sci-fi air of EX MACHINA, a terrific film. Now, EX MACHINA is available on DVD and We Are Movie Geeks wants to give away three copies. Not only that, we want to include this limited edition EX MACHINA poster (measuring 14 x 20 inches) by comic book artist Francesco Francavilla.

The extras in the DVD are generous:

• Through the Looking Glass: Making Ex Machina is a 40-minute featurette that contains some excellent interviews that address the philosophical as well as the technical issues of EX MACHINA.
• SXSW Q&A with Cast and Crew runs one hour and is a conversation from March 2015 featuring Alex Garland, Oscar Isaac, Rob Hardy, Geoff Barrow and Ben Salisbury.
• Behind the Scenes Vignettes runs 29 minutes and is broken up into 9 chapters
