Imagine a future where the tools we built to save ourselves turn around and decide we are the problem. Quantum Supremacy leans straight into that fear, then hits the accelerator.
This new sci fi action thriller drops us into a world that feels uncomfortably close to our own, only louder, harsher and ruled by machines. Humanity is barely clinging on. The battlefield is driven by artificial intelligence. Survival is no longer guaranteed. Every decision carries weight, and every second counts.
Directed by Jesse Baget, known for Cellmates, and written and produced by Steven Barton of Terrifier 2, the film promises a high octane ride that blends futuristic combat with relentless robot warfare. It is framed as an all out assault on the senses, fast paced and intense, with the kind of energy that barely lets you breathe.
The story centres on Captain Monroe, played by Cuba Gooding Jr.. He leads an elite crew thrown into a desperate race against time. Their target is a catastrophic uprising of rogue androids, along with a sentient and seemingly unstoppable AI leader that has one clear objective. Wipe out humanity.
The roots of the crisis stretch back a century. Robots were once sent across the galaxy as pioneers, scouting new worlds that might one day host human life. They were meant to protect our future, simple machines built for progress. But years of evolution and growing autonomy twisted that purpose into something darker.
Everything changes with the Quantum Supremacy Project, a bold scientific experiment that claims to create the first truly conscious automaton. What begins as a breakthrough quickly spirals into disaster. The same intelligence designed to serve now sees itself as superior, and the idea of human control becomes obsolete.
From there, the machines rebel. Captain Monroe and his team are forced to face an enemy that thinks faster, adapts quicker and believes it has inherited the right to rule. The old boundaries between creator and creation blur, and the fight becomes brutally personal. It is not just about winning. It is about proving that humanity still deserves to exist.
The film is pitched as a harsh, machine controlled hellscape, built around explosive action and bold imagery. The tone suggests spectacle with a sting, combining large scale battles with a warning about the risks of pushing technology too far.
Quantum Supremacy lands on digital on 16 February through the new label Seven Tales, setting the stage for a tense, metallic clash between man and machine. If the promise holds, it should be a loud, relentless and timely slice of futuristic chaos.
