The movie in question is Alex Garland’s psychological sci-fi thriller Ex Machina, which stars Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson, and Alicia Vikander. The film carries a 92% positive score on Rotten Tomatoes and earned more than $37 million at the box office back in 2014 (against a $15 million budget). But the real story of Ex Machina is how many people have discovered over the last decade, and that number should increase with its arrival on Tubi.
Ex Machina hit Tubi’s free lineup on October 1st, making it widely available for everyone to check out. Most fans of Ex Machina originally discovered it after its initial theatrical release, as its fandom has grown steadily over the last 11 years. A big reason for that is the rising fame of Garland, who has established himself as one of our most prominent sci-fi auteurs, but it also has to do with how well the film has aged.
In a world where we have to talk about the potential effects of AI on a daily basis, Ex Machina explores a unique facet of that conversation, albeit one that has to do with robotic beings as opposed to generative nonsense. The filmmaking itself has also aged tremendously, with its gorgeous simplicity helping it to stand out from the crowd.
What Else Is New on Tubi?
For my money, Ex Machina is one of the best movies currently on Tubi, and it should be an instant add to your watchlist if you haven’t seen it. But it was actually just one of dozens of films that were added to Tubi’s free lineup at the start of October. Below, you can check out the complete list of Tubi’s October 1st additions
