Leave your thoughts about Archive.
| Film ThreatEnrique AcostaGavin Rothery understands that filmmaking is a visual medium. The story of Archive is told through pictures as much as dialogue. In some of the most effective and integral scenes, no one is talking. Archive is an old story told well. |
| PolygonTasha RobinsonIt’s highly competent throughout, and outright brilliant at times, but it lacks the necessary level of connection with the real world. And by the end, it’s lost track even of its own hard-earned but fragile sense of emotion. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe feature writing/directing debut for a man whose history is in art departments, it should be no surprise that the pic looks wonderful, with distinctive design and lush settings; but Rothery also fares well with the human element, helped by a mature lead performance by Theo James, best known for the YA Divergent franchise. |
| VarietyGuy LodgeThe sleek result, like the scientist’s hi-tech Frankenstein creation, impressively looks and sounds the part, without quite having a soul of its own. That’s enough to make Archive a compelling calling card for the British freshman, with the promise of more advanced models to come. |
| Movie NationRoger MoorePut these elements together with some solid acting by James and a touching turn by the Parisian Martin, and Archive becomes a genre film that, if it doesn’t transcend the sum of its parts, at least has the parts to let us buy in and enjoy the story that it’s telling, derivative as it is. |
| RogerEbert.comMonica CastilloArchive is a somewhat unwieldy sci-fi thriller to get into. The plot twists are many, and so are the cliches. |
| User ReviewGlendecoWhat a gem of a movie!So full of real emotion which I wasnt expecting from a sci-fi type movie. Theo James is superb and shows just what an amazing actor he really is! the ending ...wow. Find myself still thinking about it days later. Will be watching this over and over again. 10/10 from me. |
| User Reviewmatt40Some critics were too harsh! I loved it! Just check it out you won't regret it. |
| User ReviewCorvinEvery beautiful moment is encapsulated in the dance scene. Before and after he walks in. |
| User ReviewBritsahil123Great movie, you get sucked into the world. Stunning visuals, Theo James is almost in every frame and carries the movie. Stacy Martin is fantastic too. |
