I didn't see the spoiler in the trailer, but I figured that the Asian Helper Lady was a robot by having another person in what is supposedly a super secret retreat.

Just saw it and dug it for the most part, but I had trouble wrapping my head around the ending a bit. The choice for Eva to actively lock the dude inside, presumably to die seemed a bit more proactively hostile than I would've figured. Ok. Eva is just using NerdGuy to escape, and I am onboard with her faking friendship/attraction to escape. She 'felt' nothing for him. But to make the active choice to do that is less "I Nothing You" and more "I hate you".

EDIT: forgot to mention that chilling scene of one of the earlier robots pounding on the door so much that it rips its arms to shreds in the process. Holy poo poo.

A question about the ending. Why did Ava allow Kyoko to die? She obviously knew how to repair herself, so knowing how to screw on a new jaw wouldn't be totally outside her ability set. I think it would make a little more sense thematically too. If Ava helped Kyoko and they both escaped, you'd get this sister wives sort of thing, whereas leaving her dead just made Ava look ruthless.

The thing that confused me about the spoilered scene is that I didn't really get the jaw knocked off, dead/shutdown connection. Did I mentally miss a scene where Kyoto was otherwise injured?

I figured his overindulgence drinking was a act. He's setting up a situation where Ava will try and manipulate Caleb to help her escape. Having the 'jailor', for lack of a better term, get shitfaced a lot helps things out.
