Not 2001 by a long shot


2036 Origin Unknown (2018)

Directed by Hasraf Dulull this film stars Kate Sackhoff, Julie Cox and the voice of Steven Cree. In 2036 an AI and a human mission control investigate a strange object on Mars.

When your story has a strange monolith on Mars and AI featuring heavily on the story there are going to be inevitable comparisons to Kubrick's 2001 which never goes well for the new comer. I found the plot here to be confusing and ultimately not to work really. The sound mix is also a little on the quiet side and the CGI makes it clear the film was made on a budget.

2/5
