Watch Reminiscence For Free

Just perfect...

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Fantastic!

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This movie fails on every fundamental level beyond not being a series of moving pictures.

No way this movie earned a legit 6.1 rating at the time of this review. No spoilers here other than it was a bad movie. The music was disproportionately loud – so much that it was difficult to hear dialogue between actors. Camera work was choppy and looked unintentionally out of focus. I could not sit through the entire movie because the story-line was so disjointed and nauseating due to unsteady camera shots. It seemed like a failed attempt at being an art film. Luckily, I streamed this movie via a video streaming membership or I would insist on a refund. As other reviews have pointed out do not waste your time or money on this movie. The 6.1 rating has to be due to illegitimate reviews.

Reminiscence appears to be a surrealist horror film, with the plot revolving around magnetic fields and possibly dimensional travel... it was kind of hard to tell. The major and most easily addressable problem with the film is that all of it feels with out purpose. Even the most bizarre surreal films have purpose behind their moments of strangeness. Reminiscence tries to make you feel disoriented or scared with shaky and fast cutting camera work, bizarre scene structure, non linear plot, speeding up or slowing down the camera for a second or two, and quick shots of "creepy images". To sum up where the film fails, watch the chase scene at the 1 hour mark. What is the point of this scene? How does it enhance the film? Even hardcore surrealist fans will doubtfully enjoy this one.

I was also fooled by the synopsis and the trailer. I suppose if you read about a horror movie based on physics theories you expect an interesting plot. But this movie has no plot at all. All you get is one of the characters explaining some theory in an extremely broken English, so good luck understanding that.There are a few good scenes like the ones showed on the trailer, but between those there are painfully slow-paced shots with two characters who are apparently unable to talk about what the hell is going on because of language limitations (why was it written in English anyway?). Halfway through the movie I wondered if it would end with them putting out a hashish pipe and coming back from a really bad trip.Imagine you are having a series of visions so disturbing you cannot discern what is real and what is not anymore. Someone you know wakes you up and asks what happened and you say "I don't know, let's take a walk/get some rest". This dialogue repeats itself a few times until someone finally says "Uh, a bad dream...? Let's get something to eat."I agree there must be something wrong with the positive reviews. They are trying to create an Emperor's New Clothes spiral of silence, implying that this movie is so sophisticated it will only appeal to a few select bright minds, when it's simply bad.
