Genesis

About This Movie

Genesis (2018) finds itself in that eerie space between despair and hope. Freddie Hutton-Mills crafts a chilling atmosphere post-apocalypse, focusing on humanity’s attempt to cling to life through an artificial intelligence. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to build as we explore the weighty themes of survival and the ethical dilemmas of AI. The practical effects, while not overbearing, add a tactile feel to the dystopian setting that really grounds it. Performances are solid, capturing the raw edge of human emotion amid the chaos. It’s not your typical sci-fi fare, which makes it stand out in the genre—more reflective and philosophical than action-packed, inviting viewers to ponder rather than just watch.
