Let me first start out by saying I believe Peter Dinklage is one of the
most underrated American actors of our day. I believe that will change
as time passes. He is as strong n stage as he is in film. His
performance in Rememory is not different.
As I typically do in my reviews, I avoid telling the story of a films
narrative or plot. I try to stick to my opinion and what I feel is good
or bad about a film on its merits or shortcomings.
Rememory is a unique journey about the concept of capturing memories,
good and bad, all the way back to early childhood, and being able to
view them in real time on a machine built by a brilliant Psychologist.
This concept may be very "out there" for people to believe but the film
tells the story I. A very believable way. It's not hokey in any manner
and the story moves at an interesting pace. I felt it started a bit
slow but picks up rather quickly about 20 minutes in and is a good ride
from that point on.
Acting is terrific and special effects and concept were far above
average. The sub-ploy intertwined well with the main story and gives a
feel of unease which is a big reason the film works IMO.
Again, Dinklage carries the film on his shoulders and delivers another
fine performance as the protagonist on a journey seeking the truth, at
his own peril, against a big corporation nipping on his heels once he
starts making inquiries into the death of the designer and builder of
the "machine".
No spoilers here....I am not a big fan of Sci-Fi but have to say this
film felt more like a Thriller and is in fact, and is done very well
for a concept that seems highly unlikely despite the advances in modern
technology.
Any fan of unique thrillers lead by great acting and original
screenplay with an added terrific soundtrack, this is time well spent.
