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.

3/5

For all the familiarity, the movie has the brio of good pulp and a neat surprise in store.

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

This accomplished sci-fi flick should be appreciated more widely.

4/5

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

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.

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.

When the only emotional response a movie provokes is apathy, then this sentence is an appropriate review.

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

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
