This week comes the aforementioned Garland movie, and coming soon is Joss Whedon’s “ Avengers: Age of Ultron.” Don’t forget that “ Terminator” is back this year, with ‘ Genisys’ coming to theatres in the summer. We’ve already seen “ Chappie” (or, we’ve seen it so that you don’t have to, though some of us found it unnecessarily humiliated by the critics). As a way to compensate for this human error, 2015 is going to be much more artificially and intelligently inclined, with the theme replete in a variety of mainstream and indie sci-fi films. The Singularity is not far off and this swell has practically come out of nowhere, with last year’s awesome Disney hit “ Big Hero 6,” the disastrous Johnny Depp vehicle “ Transcendence,” and 2013’s British indie-sleeper “ The Machine” amounting to most of what the subgenre has had to offer in the decade so far (though not all, as we’ll mention). In the midst of our excitement for this week’s release of Alex Garland’s “ Ex Machina” (which is fantastic and reviewed here), it hit us: 2015 is teeming with artificial intelligence movies.
