Review of Archive (2020) by Loucm — 14 Jul 2020
Gavin Rothery begins a new career as director with a well written and visually stunning sci-fi movie. In 2009, Rothery was a key figure behind Duncan Jones' sci-fi masterpiece "Moon": the moon base, Gerty the robot and all the vehicles were all designed by him.
Now, Rothery gives another proof of his visual talent with "Archive". Some people said that "Archive" is a sort of "Ex Machina meets Black Mirror", but I think that's not the right comparison.
In my opinion this movie is more a spiritual sequel to "Moon", with the same depht in all its charactersations and the same taste for world building and atmosphere. Yeah, maybe "Moon" was more innovative, but I don't care.
This is a kind of sci-fi that's extremely difficoult to find today. This movie is precious.
