Ridley Scott's son makes his directorial debut and it's a pretty solid one at that. A sci-fi film that bears similarities with Ex-Machina (thought not as good) and has clear influences from his fathers work. The film is an engaging piece with some solid acting that lightly touches on the complex morals and questions regarding artificial intelligence. I say lightly because after fantastic scene involving Paul Giamatti the film loses some steam and turns into a more superficial thriller/action affair that is still rather enjoyable but lacks the same strength and intrigue as its first half, though it does end on a good note. Overall I think this is a well executed movie that is pretty solid and has a couple of great moments scattered throughout it. A good first effort from Luke Scott. ***1/2
