Reminiscence (2014)

Wonderful character development!

Nice effects though.

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

The truth is that something must be wrong with the people who wrote the positive reviews. This film is awful, one of the worst, if not the worst I've ever seen in my life. Please do not spend your precious time watching this crap. The 6.5 IMDb note is surreal, there's absolutely nothing good about it and it's very annoying. I give zero for the acting, another 0 for the screenplay and another 0 for the soundtrack, my 3 year old son can do so much better in the xylophone. I'm so angry right now, because I waste half an hour of my life with this sh*t, that's how long I could take it. I don't even care how it ended, one more minute of viewing I would turn blind. The word sh*t is not enough to describe it, this is a big diarrhea. I think nobody in is perfect mind could watch this until the end. I must go to bed now and try to forget about what I just saw.

So, I did what I usually do before I watch a movie. Read reviews, watched the trailer. It all looked so promising. The reviews were either love it or hate it, but since that is often the case with movies (especially in the horror genre i.m.h.o.) I kinda let that go and gave this movie the benefit of the doubt.And then I got to watching the movie. I know I am not the first reviewer to say this but I had to pause in full confusion five minutes into the movie. OK, some reviews were bad, but the rating was still high on IMDb. So I didn't expect such a bad beginning of the movie. And I'll be honest: I thought the ones who said it here before me were exaggerating a little. But they weren't. The movie just doesn't get any better. Lots of feet, lots of beautiful surroundings, no plot, completely unnecessary dialog. And not to be blunt, but absolutely horrible horrible acting. (at least that is one thing that's horror about this movie) I ranked this movie a one out of ten. Why? Because I'm just not watching the horror genre for a movie's best feature to be nice scenery shots. And yes, there are very nice scenery shots. But if I want those, I'll look up some nice scenery shots. And I was looking for a good horror movie.I can say I am one of the troopers that watched this horrible movie to the end. Without dying of boredom. If achieving that is on your bucket list, watch this movie and check it off your list. If not, don't waste your time on it.

Went to see a scary Movie. Instead wasted time that I will never get back in my life.Awful... don't waste your time. I too saw the 7.0 rating. I have no idea how they got that rating unless they spent the $500,000 budget on it. No plot,no story,terrible music that makes no sense. This movie seems conflicted to be a shaky cam type of movie or a normal movie. This makes the film way too shaky for no good reason.Bad.Bad.Bad.Terrible! How many ways can you call a movie bad. It appeared the main 2 actors were the only 2 in the whole movie. And those 2 actors either had bad scripts to read or are truly terrible as well.

Okay, so I watched this film based on the IMDb rating, (at this point, roughly 1300 votes giving a 7.2 rating). After watching maybe 30 seconds, I pressed pause in confusion. You know how when you watch a film, and it's immediately apparent that it's not as good as you thought it was going to be? This was definitely one of those occasions. So, I returned to IMDb to read the reviews. Having done that, one might conclude that it's one of those classic 'love it/hate it' scenarios - but then I noticed something that seemed a little odd to me. All of the positive reviews appeared to contain the same, or similar, English grammar/syntax errors. Of course, one would never convict on suspicion alone, my suspicion is however, that they're all written by the same person. Because of that, after years of using IMDb, I wanted to write a review. But wait, I thought, I should at least give the film a chance before coming on here to condemn it. So I started watching again.I'm proud to say I managed to watch a whole hour - even though I wanted to turn it off after the first five minute opening scene, and nothing that happened in the subsequent 55 min's did anything other than reinforce that urge. It's bad. It's really, really bad.The acting is awful. Though to be fair, a large part of this may be due to the actors maybe not having English as a first language? I'm just guessing. The storyline just.... well... there isn't one really; far as I can tell. Apparently there's some sort of planetary alignment, or such, that will affect the Earth's magnetic field and cause weird stuff to happen. Whoever made this film took that as licence to make the entire film, (well, the first hour at least) as unintelligible and disjointed as possible. The whole thing consists mostly of long, drawn out photographic type shots or sequences, culminating in something abstract, unexplained or just plain stupid - then jump to the next long, drawn out photographic type shot... etc... etc...And the music? As has already been suggested by other reviewers - it's incessant. Every single scene, or even sometimes just a change of shot, has its own piece of music. All of which is usually set too loud over the dialogue. And whilst sometimes, the music score and photography may complement each other, the fact it never lets up just serves to spoil the whole thing.All in all, I'm giving it 2/10. The only reason, despite the phony reviews, it doesn't get a one, is because every once in a while, there's some really nice photography. Also, whenever one of the 'monsters' appears, the makeup/special effects aren't too bad, and just for a split second you think it might be about to get interesting. Unfortunately not the case. If you're into 'artsy' type films, or you study photography, you may get something out of this - otherwise I'd say it's a fail and give it a miss.
