Starring: Jessica Alexander, Kitty Harris, Anja Taljaard, and Adrienne Pearce Directed by: Kelsey Egan Written by: Emma Lungiswa De Wet and Kelsey Egan A Fantasia International Film Festival Review   A “Glasshouse” can easily be broken, and this one is no exception to that. The world has changed because of a toxin in the air that erases memories. It has forced people permanently indoors, or having to wear a mask when outside. The family unit here has made the most of a glasshouse to protect themselves against this airborne enemy. They’ve developed rules and ways of daily life in order for them to survive, and keep their memories alive.   In no way is that easy, but Mother (Adrienne Pearce) is strict in her ways. She’s tasked with looking over Bee (Jessica Alexander), Evie (Ania Talj...

Part of that solution comes via a time machine, and the other part comes from someone who seems destiny for this moment.    That person is Ethan (Kodi Smit-McPhee), who is overworking himself in order to make sure his wife is getting the best care as possible. She’s one of many still left that has fallen sick during this oxygen crisis. That’s a tough situation for him, and it’s about to get tougher. The company looking for ...

George, a struggling writer holding out hopes that the bots won’t take over literature for another decade, is also a very sexually frustrated human being.

2038: George Almore is working on a true human-equivalent AI. His latest prototype is ready. This sensitive phase is also the riskiest. Especially as he has a goal that must be hidden at all costs: being reunited with his dead wife. Starring: Rhona Mitra, Theo James, and Toby Jones Directed and written by: Gavin Rothery    As society moves more into the future, technology continues to play a bigger role in our lives. One of the biggest things guiding us today are apps. It won’t be long before we move more to robots, which some basic forms already exist. Fast forward to 2038 in “Archive,” and a much more futuristic world with far advanced technology. Apps are definitely a thing of the past, as George Almore (Theo James) is already working on his third robot.   The movie opens with an awesome looking base on the side of a mountain with a waterfall. It seems like it’s in the middle of nowhere, which might mean George is working on some top secret stuff. W...

Joshua must protect his twin-sister, Emma, who possesses supernatural abilities and keep her safe from an unstoppable secret agent hunting them for an experiment in a classified government program. Starring: Matthew Ninaber, Tony Nash, and Jeremy Ninaber Directed by: Matthew Ninaber  Written by: Jennifer Lloyd, Matthew Ninaber, and Aaron Tomlin   “Transference” opens with a really horrific scene in a hospital. Yes, it takes a few minutes to set up and ultimately is a dream, but sets off the movie on a high note. Unfortunately, that’s much of the horror in the movie for awhile. Instead this becomes a sci-fi type movie. So what does that mean is in store for the audience from here on out?   Lots of confusion especially if the audience has no idea what this movie is about going into it. The audience gets that Joshua (Jeremy Ninaber) is trying to cure his sister, Emma (Melissa Joy Boerger), but what’s wrong with her? They leave a lot of mystery to that...
