it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

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.

I really think this movie was good, you did not expect how the story would continue until the end, and the end had a nice twitch. I also think it was a really warm movie and a feel good feeling during the movie. The actors was great and felt believable. Sorry to see Anton Yelchin doing one of his last movie before he past away.

The idea of the movie is the kind i like, an advanced tech professor invents a device that animates humans memories, even those one that is hard to remember. Peter Dinklage was as usual awesome. But the movie itself was lacking some action, it was boring in the middle, the device which was animating the memories was so primitive & anybody was able to operate it, i think such an advanced high tech machine would be hard to operate, but at last it helped the hero to confront the bad memory which he was trying not ot remember, & he finally found peace. In general it was worth to watch.

The overall bad reviews (in the press, rotten tomatoes lists this as totally rotten with almost every critic trashing it) really surprised me on this one.I have this feeling that people expected this movie to me some science fiction action or something with a super twisted story ...The science fiction in this movie is "just" the base of the story, everything else plays out like a Drama/Thriller/Mystery. And for me it really delivered that. Especially the conclusion about the accident was something I did not expect at all. Although the part that the machine should never go into production was very predictable from early on and that memories should probably kept as they are. The ending kind of expects the audience to assume this is what happened after, at least this is how I saw it. I expected that Lawton would be confronted, some great reveal of the truth to the public ... but it was OK without that.Its a really sad movie and I have read reviews complaining about that. I mean what do you expect when the first listed genre says Drama.I get there was potential for something else with that machine story, but it was not needed for a good movie in my opinion. In the end we see Gordon delete a memory and do also do some settings on the machine never seen before. It was always just about recording and playing basically. Based on that it could be a entire different movie, memory alternation, deletion. Making people think memories of others were their own forgotten ones ... its probably thought like this that made critics not like this movie.
