Reminiscence is a Neo-noir film taking place when global warming has caused rising sea levels, socio-economic disparities have increased, and technology has been delivered for people to mentally re-live their past memories.

If you enjoy theReminiscence is a Neo-noir film taking place when global warming has caused rising sea levels, socio-economic disparities have increased, and technology has been delivered for people to mentally re-live their past memories.

If you enjoy the neo-noir genre, you should watch this film - even if it is not as good as it should have been.

It is written, produced and directed by Lisa Joy who created Westworld with Jonathan Nolan.

Lisa Joy is extremely creative - but, she doesn't have the broad skills to produce, cast and direct a complete project like this. The casting is off, the writing needed work to better fit the actors and the directing was not effective. And, I guess other things like editing and cinematography where good but were not excellent.

If Lisa Joy wants to take a bigger role in producing her work, she should seek professionals who can help her.

One last thing - Hugh Jackman is a good actor - but, I'm not a huge fan. He did not quite fit the role just right. Perhaps it was not entirely his fault. Perhaps Lisa Joy got off on the wrong foot when Hugh Jackman was cast in the lead role.

I'll add that I add just finished watching a very dark Nordic-noir detective series just before I watched PG-13 rated Reminiscence.

not sure where all the hate comes from. don’t compare this to other movies, take it for what it is. this is a fun sci-fi crime mystery movie. Rebecca Ferguson and hugh hackman had such good chemistry and the visuals were stunning in the film.not sure where all the hate comes from. don’t compare this to other movies, take it for what it is. this is a fun sci-fi crime mystery movie.

A good try of a retrofuturistic noir movie, with an amazing cenography, complex history and touching ending.
