Archive Ratings & Reviews

Just woah
CNET
Jennifer Bisset
This accomplished sci-fi flick should be appreciated more widely.
In Review Online
Steven Warner
This climax is so stupid and the rest of the film so incapable of generating any interest that the only thing left to focus on is the amount time remaining until the end credits.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Many changes come at the climax, and they are not all good.
Dread Central
Drew Tinnin
Archive honors the great sci-fi visuals of the past and pushes modern sci-fi a little farther into the future.
Chicago Reader
Becca James
Asking what happens if a machine replicates free will so well that it begins to form its own desires contrary to that of its creator, Archive is a unique take on love and loss
Polygon
Tasha Robinson
With such a gorgeous world housing so many vibrant emotions, it's a particular frustration that Archive doesn't follow through on any of them.
Common Sense Media
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Though it comprises familiar elements from many other sci-fi movies, this debut feature's appealing visual design and surprising emotional content are ultimately enough to make it worth a look.
The Only Critic
Nate Adams
The only reason to see this movie is because it's beautifully shot by Laurie Rose and has Oscar winning composer Steven Price dropping some slick beats. Other than those inspired choices, "Archive" is a basic upload.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
... flashes some low-budget visual flair, although the deliberately paced screenplay turns predictable in the second half, which compromises the intended emotional impact.
Pajiba
Kristy Puchko
Archive is at its best when it leans into its machines and away from its lackluster leading man.
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
My problem, however, is not so much with the lack of originality displayed by writer-director Gavin Rothery as it is with the fact that he pretty much fails to bring any kind of new spin to the material that might have helped it go down better.
RogerEbert.com
Monica Castillo
Yet somehow, Rothery turns this all around in the last few minutes into something that left me genuinely stunned.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
A sleek and satisfying riff on familiar sci-fi themes.
Reason Online
Kurt Loder
The movie's elegant execution makes the old mysteries feel fresh again.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
To say that the actual finale of Archive is a disappointment would be an understatement.
Variety
Guy Lodge
When Rothery's storytelling stalls... his filmmaking keeps things crisp and involving.
Hammer to Nail
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
Gorgeously shot and production-designed to within an inch of its cinematic life, the film can't quite overcome a disappointing ending, yet stills sits with one long afterwards.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Creates an engrossing study of human frailty and obsession, and Rothery shows some visual might with the picture.
Bounding Into Comics
Chris Sawin
Archive is such a visually superb experience with subtle humor that keeps you interested and downright shocks in its final moments. A wonderfully vibrant and expertly captivating debut from a first time director with a ton of potential.
