The theme of robots in sci-fi movies with emotions and hum-like capabilities isn't exactly a new concept, but first-time director Alex Garland sure does make it look pretty original in his movie Ex Machina. This week, we were treated to a brand new trailer featuring new footage of the film, which stars Star Wars: The Force Awakens actors Oscar Isaac and Domhnall Gleeson opposite Alicia Vikander who portrays the humanoid robot Ava. Watch this great new trailer and learn more about this movie below!

Garland is most known for as the writer of Never Let Me Go, 28 Days Later and Sunshine, and from what we can see in this new trailer, he took some notes on filmmaking in the process. There's definitely a stylistic feel to this new movie, which hits theaters on April 10, 2015.

What looks like a pretty interesting experience of new technology and discovery quickly turns into an intense thriller, with possible horror elements thrown in. Surely a reclusive genius like Isaac's character can be trusted, right?

Here is the official synopsis of Ex Machina (via Slash Film):

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, seductive--and more deceptive--than the two men could have imagined.
