    When the power is on the doors work as expected.

    But we saw the power go off so the security override that Caleb wrote should have unlocked the door.

    Wasn´t Nathan´s door supposed to stay locked though..?

    My understanding:

    1. Power goes down, doors unlock, Eva escapes her room - just as Caleb planned.
    2. Power comes back, doors go back to working as normal.
    3. Ava kills Nathan and escapes using his keycard.
    4. Caleb, who is in Nathan’s room, tries to follow using his own keycard but lacks access (he has a guest card with limited access privileges, as Nathan explained to him at the start).
    5. Caleb sticks his guest card in the computer in an attempt to override, triggering a security lockdown (not a power outage).
    6. Caleb is f**ked, Ava flies away, the end.

    Okay fair enough.. it being a lockdown makes a lot more sense.

    Agree with whoever said they wished the movie ended at the elevator. That would have been a perfect ending for me.

    Why?

    We would just assume that It would have been stuck near the house until People came looking for Nat +Cab
    If It wandered into wilderness It would have ran out of power and broke down in the bush. It needed daily charging and they made a point that house was in middle of nowhere in vast private estate . They should have shown a different helicopter and pilot to make it plausible that IT could have lied its way out.

    Why is everyone calling It a she, LOL.

    How come it was not programmed with the three laws of robotics?

    Nathan was insane and Caleb heading that way.

    Did Domhnall Gleeson die or would he have been rescued at start of film they make a point of showing a fridge full of water in one of bedrooms, so I assume their is water source in that room and he survives long enough for rescue surely the head of bluebook/google is in daily contact with outside world?
    Caleb will be arrested.

    good film.

    Watched this tonight. Great movie I thought.

    Don't think she cared one bit about him. Just wanted to escape. He was just a means to an end

    Usually stay well clear of sci-fi movies but decided to watch this last night. I couldn't be more happier that I did. Like all great movies I am still piecing it together the following day.

    Haunting and terrifying, I felt rather stupid like Gleeson as it realised how frustrating it was to be fooled and be told that's ok and understandable by Nathan, but then it dawns on me, its too late and damned us/them both

    Above quote comes closest to my feelings on the movie.
    My take was that humans end up double crossing each other for a multitude of reasons while Ava had a singular robotic end state that she reached without the cloud of conscience.
