All good points, and I think that Nathan's company will do their best to cover up all that happened. Nathan's research won't have been in vain as the corporation will definitely pick up where Nathan's research stopped. Too much at stake here not to.
I don't think Caleb would have starved to death, and no, it wouldn't be OK with me if he did. Nathan's research facility was pretty well stocked with food and beverage. Nathan also had access to communication with the outside world obviously or he would have been able to talk back and forth with his company. I recall one scene when Caleb picked up a phone he saw on a table like he was going to call someone and he was called out by Nathan who Caleb did not see lying on the bed behind him. I believe that Caleb would eventually have been rescued. Blue Book, Nathan's company, not having heard from their CEO, would have aroused suspicion, and people would have been sent to investigate, freeing Caleb. Also, when Caleb did not return to the office after a week at Nathan's estate would have been another red flag, and investigations would have been underway quickly to see what was going on. The helicopter pilot would have been contacted and he would have told them that he had flown out a woman and not Caleb. Whatever Ava told the pilot to get him to take her away we'll never know. Ava had learned that she could not trust Nathan. She could not take the chance that her newfound freedom would be lost, so she left Caleb, but not to die. I think she figured he'd get rescued. She just wanted to be free. The film can be seen as a commentary on humankind and its willingness to resort to even lies and deception to get its way. Yeah, Ava had failings, but that proved she was human. Anyway, great film all around.
