Adam 2.0
Set in a dystopian past, an asteroid collision has destroyed an orbital relay station owned by Lomax Technologies. The company produces memory storage capsules, and the destruction of the station has caused the capsules to become faulty and leak radiation. Adam (Chris Bradley), assumedly dying from a radiation leak, finishes uploading most of his memories and calls his friend Sia (Andrea Fantauzzi) telling her they’ll need a bigger storage drive. He directs her to an underpass where he believes one will be. 8 months later, Sia collects the drive, and with the help of another friend, Tiger (Caleb Thomas) the pair set about using it to restore Adam.
Director Devin J. Dilmore invokes classic 80’s science-fiction films through the use of ‘old’ news reels and advertisements and through a synth soundtrack for Adam 2.0. The film’s ideas, though, are timeless. There are risks placing our lives, or memories, in the hands of machines and it’s ironically telling that Adam still uses a memory capsule to help preserve his ‘life’ despite it being responsible for his death. There’s also the inherent moral implications. Memories are not accurate, and an amalgamation of the three friends’ will undoubtedly result in something different from the original Adam. Much like Sia and Tiger’s desire to see their friend again, Adam 2.0 leaves you wanting to know more of this world that has suffered a major technology fallout.
