psocopteraI liked Ex Machina a lot more than some other members of our viewing party, and also interpreted it pretty differently, so if you're looking for a movie to argue about, this could be a good one! (I thought it was aware of and critical of its gender ickiness, although I can understand a preference for movies not being icky in the first place...)
World of Tomorrow, on the other hand, didn't really work for me; yes, there were a lot of Big SF Ideas, some of which seem sort of clever or cute in retrospect, but it was so weird that it was awkward to watch with other people, and so bleak. I'll be a little surprised if it gets nominated, it seems like more of a movie critic movie than something average Hugo voters would go for, maybe?
