Think of every cliché you can imagine in a film, and you'll still be very far. 'Reminiscence' is a cringe-fest. You probably heard of all the 'Chinatown' and 'Inception' comparisons, but this neo-noir attempt is absolutely boring andThink of every cliché you can imagine in a film, and you'll still be very far. 'Reminiscence' is a cringe-fest. You probably heard of all the 'Chinatown' and 'Inception' comparisons, but this neo-noir attempt is absolutely boring and uninspiring. It reminded me of 'Gattaca', and made me appreciate it even more because this is just bad at so many levels. You'll stop caring about the plot halfway or before.… Expand

You got some good actors in this movie, but it doesn't help.
The problem with this movie is the writing.
The way the talk to each others,it just off.
A sign that a movie probably is going to be bad is if the same person write and direct a movie.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A great cinematography to support a boring and cheesy story. The fight scenes are a big miss, not filmed properly but much more like a drama instead of dynamic moves and closer frames. The project is not bold enough and some risks should have been taken considering the futuristic semi-post apocalyptic context where the overall mood is too sanitized and proper. The bad guy character played by Daniel Wu is out of subject, limit hilarious, and should have been replaced by Sam Medina who has much more charisma and fits the part perfectly. Overall, we feel the Nolan family influence and understand a directing job and deal were given by relationship and political context of diversity and inclusion… which excludes prioritizing talent which is common mistake by studios nowadays. A huge budget for a deception at its level.… Expand

Laughably bad futuristic noir with Hugh Jackman wading through a flooded Miami and a muddled script to deliver one of the biggest turkeys of the year - 1 star for the bizarre sex scene involving Hugh splaying himself out on a chair in a wackyLaughably bad futuristic noir with Hugh Jackman wading through a flooded Miami and a muddled script to deliver one of the biggest turkeys of the year - 1 star for the bizarre sex scene involving Hugh splaying himself out on a chair in a wacky tribute to Flashdance.… Expand

Really a terrible movie. No world building, underdeveloped/nonsensical characters, amateurish direction - shot framing, terrible visual effects, claustrophobic universe
and a linear, cliché, uninteresting plot

Hugh Jackman is one of the best actors there is. This movie is reminiscent of one that he shouldn't have made.

The only redeeming feature was seeing Hugh Jackman shirtless.… Expand

If I worked next to Thandie Newton every day, I wouldn't even notice Rsbecca Fergeson if she walked in butt naked. I just find her so very generic in every way. I think I might have found her compelling once (Dr. Sleep?), but now she's just meh. Might be her ridiculous take on Dune (she claims the script had to be doctored for 21st century audiences because obviously any male writer from the 60s is sexist, even though she admits to not only NOT reading it, but unable to understand the few pages she did. She laughingly admits to needing her male costars to explain it to her . LMAO, she needed mansplaining, ROFL). The rest is just a bland sci-fi noire that tries to be Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind? Boring romance scenes over and over. I guess there's a warning g about climate change in there. It's a dud despite Jackman's likeability and Newtins sex appeal.… Expand

My goodness. This is seriously weak sauce. I struggled to get through it, and ended up skipping quite a bit. Felt like someone using two hours to tell a really boring story.

Boring... The most interesting part of this movie is the opening and ending.
