    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The location of the house in the movie is the Juvet Landscape Hotel in Norway.
    • Goofs
      When Ava and Kyoko meet in the corridor, there are masks on the wall. At the end of the scene, the masks are gone. Correction: The camera angle is not a reverse shot along the same corridor with the masks. The camera has moved to where Kyoto is standing, turned 90 degrees right and is looking down the corridor she came from. When Nathan finds them, he is looking from the other end of the corridor where Kyoto came from.
    • Quotes
      • Nathan: One day the AIs are going to look back on us the same way we look at fossil skeletons on the plains of Africa. An upright ape living in dust with crude language and tools, all set for extinction.
      • Caleb: I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.
      • Nathan: There you go again, Mr. Quotable.
      • Caleb: There you go again. It's not my quote. It's what Oppenheimer said after he made...
      • Nathan, Caleb: ...the atomic bomb.
      • Nathan: Yeah, I know what it is, dude.
    • Crazy credits
      The end credits starts with a single dot in the background which then grows and various patterns emerge from it.
    • Alternate versions
      The alternatively censored cut released in China featured frequent blurs of nudity and, on occasion, violence. One scene towards the end also seemed to be zoomed for no apparent reason.
