Artificial Paradise, Inc. (2010)

Sterile subterranean world of tomorrow

Artificial Paradise, Inc is a futuristic/chaotic 3-D animation anticipating a future where a major corporation has developed an unique software, based on organic virtual reality, which holds all the lost memories of humankind. A user connects to this database of the forgotten… what is he searching for?

Visually impressive CG film that is reminiscent of Lucas' THX1138 and the sterile and heavily computerized subterranean world, where sex is forbidden, mankind lives in vast underground cities and free will is outlawed by means of mandatory medication that controls human emotion.
