POSITIVES…
Interesting film noirish premise with a sci-fi tech angle.
The main mystery of the story gets more and more engrossing as it progresses.
Visually fascinating futuristic setting of a world that's been flooded.
World building is excellent. Made me want to explore more of what was presented.
How the reminiscence machine works with people’s memories and how it’s portrayed is pretty cool. Wished it was a real thing.
Narrative and plot direction is actually kinda clever and keeps me on my toes
Excellent cast of talented actors in this, from Hugh Jackman, Thandiwe Newton, Rebecca Ferguson, Cliff Curtis, and Daniel Wu.
Rebecca Ferguson gets to sing some songs. A very nice plus.
Stylish quotable lines like "nostalgia never goes out of style" or ""always" makes promises it can't keep."
There are a few action sequences in this movie, and they are pretty solid.
I myself liked how the conclusion played out.
Appreciated the themes and messaging about memories, nostalgia, and a person’s past.
NEGATIVES…
Tonally might feel dry and generally unexciting.
The voice over narration isn't going to be for everybody.
Dialogue feels overwritten and unnatural at times.
Certain plot conveniences and questionable logic that might ruin the story.
That ending might not be as satisfying to some.
Nick can be pretty frustrating to watch, and he's the main character of this movie.
