    They should have cast better known actors- Tom Cruise or Bradley Cooper would have been more sufficient in Gleeson's role.
    They are probably too good looking and confident to fulfil the role of a geeky, shy guy.

      Dude with this post youve outed yourself as a total moron and a philistine a dozen times over. Oscar Isaac is top tier stuff and Gleeson was perfect for the role. You just didnt like the film and you should have left it at that instead of trashing someone who has probably accomplished more than you ever will. Go watch a movie with Cruise or Cooper if you like them so much, there are plenty of them out there and they all target shallow pieces of vapid trash like you.

          I think this is just about right as a response to the OP.

            Not sure what you have against Gleeson, I thought he did very well in Ex Machina. He's meant to come off uncomfortable and insecure. I don't think Cruise or Cooper have the versatility to pull off that sort of role and it wouldn't be believable anyway. It would just distract from the film.
            Complaining about his name is just silly and shallow. He's Irish, he's from Ireland. He has an Irish name. That's what happens. Also, Isaac was perfect as Nathan. Another very versatile actor. I never caught on that his role in this film, Star Wars and X Men Apocalypse were even played by the same actor.

              I think Voordads Glimpenhauser would've been better.

                The role of Caleb called for an insecure, lonely type of individual, a young man without much of a social life, who often feels awkward in social situations. The casting for the film was perfect, the three main leads Oscar, Alicia and Domhnall were magnificent.

                  So what you're actually saying is that because you didn't understand why the two male leads were the way they were, and because your small vocabulary left you unable to understand a few scenes, you didn't like the movie.
                  Perhaps you should stick to coloring books and Sesame Street reruns.

                    Perhaps, just perhaps, you are Helen are morons?
                    and uses words so big even our next door neighbor who's a physicist couldn't comprehend half his dialogue.
                    I'm guessing you neighbor is a
                    student
                    studying physics, not a physicist. First, this movie's dialog is about computer science, not physics. So having a computer science background would be more valuable than physics. But no dialog in this movie that should be challenging to a physicist. Generally speaking physicists are aware of the computer science terminology used in the film. If your neighbor is a physicist, they have a weak vocabulary and are not very well read, which makes me think that either A) very unlikely to be a real physicist or B) they are a lousy physicist.
