10 Great British Sci-Fi Movies You've Probably Never Seen

If there is one subject in Sci-Fi that gets a ton of attention, it is undoubtedly the concept of artificial intelligence. The idea is so alien to modern viewers yet still seems like a future we could be heading towards, so the topic is so heavily used in the genre.

However, Archive does something truly different from other AI flicks, as it seeks to explore the idea of raising deceased people, making it almost a modern retelling of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.

Archive centres on George Almore, who employs his intelligence to generate a human-AI to further science and bring his wife back from the dead. But chaos rears its ugly head, as playing god always comes with consequences.

The film's visual design walks beautifully between over-the-top and understated, as the small setting combined with the outlandish robotics feels like an authentically domestic look at technology. Additionally, the artificial intelligence character is breathtaking, as she slowly becomes more human both physically and mentally, but still maintains a hollowness that shows she isn't truly natural.

It's a real shame that this film was released in 2020, and therefore didn't get the opportunity to be as distributed as it could have been. It undoubtedly deserves your attention.
