Rememory (2017)

You won't be disappointed!

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

I could not get into this film no matter how hard I tried.And I tried.Unfortunately it wasn't for me.

I came across this jewel of a movie onone of my news feeds for Prime movies. I would call it part sci-fi and part who done-it. Very good acting and a well- thought-out script that will keep you guessing until the very end. A refreshing change from the generic mindless crap Hollywood is constantly producing these days. One flaw - Peter couldnt drive his brothers vehicle without customized equipment.

After seeing this, I wondered why I liked this 3-star story. So I watched it again. Dinklage's excellent performance showed how much he could enhance a so so screenplay.Director Mark Palansky's vision and direction was very good, except for one character. He should have directed him to drop the stereotypical hysterical lunatic interpretation..Rest of the cast were very good. Jane MacRae's use of Tripi's music and editing was superb. Her editing was the major factor that made Rememory so good.Alicia c. Snee's lighting was fantastic. She managed to have the bright rooms match the moody overcast outdoor light. On the first watch I did not notice that going from moody outdoor scenes to a well lit room were not visually jarring .The directors story-boarding and MacRae's editing made the transitions smooth. It was all of them in synch that made this a rewarding 105 minutes.

This is more of a murder mystery with a bit of scifi thrown into the bargain and it never seems to know what it is or how the story should proceed or unfold.Don't get me wrong all the acting was superb and i didn't figure out the crash significance but i did figure out how the murder/death happened within 10 mins of the scene unfolding - I guess when you have watched films like "Forbidden Planet" and other movie scenes where humans try to over-reach their capability you would also have surmised what happened to the inventor chap! Yip its all been done before and in a much more interesting way - the actual box itself looks really cheap and the special effects are woeful - there is even a scene where the plastic visor screen opens up and instead of gliding like it would if it had a proper electronic motor it moves like it is stuck - i actually started to laugh at that point it was really very poor effects!The movie itself was plodding and nothing groundbreaking as some reviewers are suggesting - its very sad how there are so many shills on IMDb trying to sway the votes and getting people to view movies that really aren't what they are expecting.I guess we are all still waiting for another Matrix, Saw or Oblivion movie with a great idea but this isn't it sadly.
