Progressive
Primary
The film's dominant themes align with progressive values by critiquing patriarchal power, objectification, and the exploitation of sentient beings, culminating in a narrative of self-liberation from an oppressive creator.
The movie features a main cast that is predominantly white, with some diversity present in a supporting AI role, but it does not include explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white characters. However, the narrative strongly critiques male power dynamics and the objectification of women, portraying traditional male authority figures negatively as central to the plot's conflict and resolution.
Secondary
Ex Machina does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on heterosexual dynamics between human and artificial intelligence, without engaging with queer identities or experiences in its plot or character arcs.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Ex Machina is an original film with characters created specifically for its narrative. There is no prior source material, historical record, or previous installments from which character genders could be established and subsequently altered.
