Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) 01/21/2021
4/5
All in all, Archive is good, bleak, shivery fun, and however familiar some of its components may seem, it thrums with an intelligence that's anything but artificial. Go to Full Review
Danny Leigh Financial Times 01/20/2021
3/5
For all the familiarity, the movie has the brio of good pulp and a neat surprise in store. Go to Full Review
Anton Bitel Sight & Sound 01/19/2021
Rothery's soulful, at times surreal SF debut works on multiple levels as, certainly, a very modern ghost story but also as a paranoid thriller, a yearning romance and an introspective tragedy, full of hubris and catastrophe Go to Full Review
Jennifer Bisset CNET 03/29/2023
This accomplished sci-fi flick should be appreciated more widely. Go to Full Review

One of the most visually stunning debuts of the year... The production design is outstanding with a welcome predisposition for practical sets and effects. Go to Full Review

Mike U @MikadoBeard 1d Slow. Dull. Robotic. Not the type of AI thrill movie people are seeking. Watching a one lead role actor talk to robots for an hour is boring. Stop going in this direction please. It feels cheap. We turned it off. See more j A. @jra527 3d wow. super slow. get going. so boring. turned it off. See more Johnny U. @Johnny09 Feb 10 I tried really hard to get into to this story but it was just too dull and slow. I love movies about ai and the future but this was hard to watch, I finally gave up about three quarters of the way through. See more Sal D @JustTheLaw Feb 9 When the only emotional response a movie provokes is apathy, then this sentence is an appropriate review. See more Harper @Sam8008135 Feb 8 The man in this movie is so annoying. I literally yelled at my tv 20+ times for him to shut up. "Why dont you talk to me when youre being less dramatic" he says to the stunted shadow of a himan he made and is now stripping for parts to make another copy of a woman who NEVER wanted this. I wanted him to get stabbed by J2 about 40 minutes into the movie. George almore blows and not even well See more Kalissa H. @kali_416 Feb 8 I wasn’t a big fan of the J2 storyline. I would’ve liked it to focus more on being archived and turned into a robot. Could’ve been some body horror. I really liked the twist ending though See more Read all reviews
