I'm not talking purely about style, but that's a big part. There's also a misanthropic cynicism and what I saw as a reaching for some kind of Kubrickian profundity that came across as adolescent pretentiousness by the end, by which time the movie had transformed into pretty standard scifi action movie (not that I don't like many of those!). I should not have called it crap--I was echoing your language, but I was disappointed. I don't think it lived up to the hype it received.
I liked MOON better, but I always say that when we start talking about current sci fi movies.
Different strokes man. I thought Moon sucked ass, and Ex Machina was brilliant. I really think you are reading Ex Machina wrong if that's what you believe. I also definitely thought Moon 'borrowed' a little too much from Kubrick.
