Review of Reminiscence (2021) by Jluis_001 — 25 Aug 2021

From the masterminds behind HBO's Westworld comes this sad return to the action genre for Hugh Jackman.

The mix that it was presenting, sounded pretty good and looked pretty good, but the mystery conjured up in this tale is actually really poor and mostly unattractive.

I'll be honest, halfway through, I really stopped caring what the hell happened to Rebecca Ferguson's character, and it turned out even worse when it revealed how terribly simplistic her fate was.

Reminiscence has all the structure and semblance of being a great science fiction blockbuster, even with its relatively modest budget, and if you only look at the facade.

However in a cruel joke with its title, it's reminiscent of many other films, and ultimately the puzzle it asks us to put together is just very simplistic.

And the intrigue delivered isn't enough to want to go all the way until the end.

But hey, we got to see Hugh Jackman for the second time acting completely infatuated by seeing Rebecca Ferguson singing.
