Sci-Fi Short Film “Archetype” | DUST

We are immediately thrown straight in to a war zone. As with all battle scenarios, it’s absolute mayhem. It then becomes clear that we have what seem to be robots in active combat on the field. The other thing that becomes apparent, is that this is a first hand view from inside one of these war machines. We are then shown the machine confront a woman. We are expecting a cold massacre, when all f a sudden, the machine stops, looks around and then the screen whites out on us. The next scene brings us into an interrogation room with a very “langley” looking character and our robot friend.

This is where it gets interesting. As this is such a short flick, i will not kill the ending for you. Lets just say that it’s one of those classic sci-fi threads of AI and tech being grafted on and spliced with real human intelligence. We can only assume that the machine has a donor brain as the processor. It’s up to our interrogator to figure out why this particular unit “malfunctioned” in such a way.
