I was bored yesterday while the wife was working so I tried to find something I knew she wouldn't care to watch (she's not in to most sci-fi stuff) and came across this film.

quote:

Set in year 2038, the film follows a scientist who is trying to advance artificial intelligence a step further than human beings, all while bringing his wife back from the dead.


Trailer

It stars Theo James and some chick I've never heard of, along with Toby Jones in a small role. It has kind of an Ex Machina feel to it without the great acting, but the soundtrack, story and cinematography are excellent.

I liked it and thought I would share.

Does he play a weird, little scientist? I'm pretty sure that's all he's allowed to portray.

No. He plays the role of a tech company serviceman.

Will add this to my list. That trailer looks solid.

Cool I had never heard of it. I'll definitely give this one a watch. I wonder how many other decent movies got lost during COVID? I feel like there were a few good movies from last year that I didn't discover until this year.

The premise of Archive reminds me of another movie on my list, Replicas (2018) with Keanu Reeves (on HBO Max). I haven't been motivated to watch it because the reviews are so bad, but I'll watch just about any sci-fi movie with good production values.

Having seen both I can confidently say Archive is the better movie.

Replicas is a decent watch though.
