To think Jackman could have made 10 Kate and Leopold sequels by now! Check out my other sci-fi breakdowns here: kzfaq.info/sun/PLY9KJ1cFVs7iajBX4Ibg6jaCAH1eIuSgd

I enjoyed this movie, but that might be because Hugh Jackman does a really fucking good job

One of the versions of the Orpheus story is about him having to lead her out of the Underworld without looking back to see if she’s there, but he turns around towards the end because he thinks he’s being tricked and loses her again. Towards the end of the movie when he sees she was actually at his place and left the earring behind I felt like it was meant to mirror that moment. If he hadn’t have been so busy looking back in the machine, maybe he would have answered the door and they would have been reunited. Or maybe I’m just reading into it too much 😂

The biggest clue we were just watching his memories all along when he keeps seeing Mae in the water cause he knows she dies in the water after overdosing. He gets to see her in the current state of what he thinks she is after death. Just floating in the water. And when he tries to grab her she just disappears 🥲

"the longest story about someone forgetting their keys" lmao

This ending is what we call grey ending , it is actually tragic ending but Jackman's character got away from reality and enter the memory machine to reunite with his lover although not real. btw , for me the best happy ending movie is Robin hood prince of thieves and Indiana jones and the kingdom of crystall skull

He was so focused in the past that he blind to the present

The movie was beautiful and impressive, and it had some really interesting ideas, however, I feel that the world building elements of this film; the rising waters and the wars everyone talks about, and the struggles people went through past tense, would have been a much better aspect to present instead of this noir/romance rehash of China Town/Inception crossover. Also I don't know how anyone else felt about the dialogue but to me it was weird...like it didn't feel like humans talking, instead it felt like people speaking tediously. Almost poetically. Perhaps because we are viewing things from his memories and therefore everything feels "artificial" but it made it all feel very clunky and it was difficult for me to become invested.

"Then tell me a story but end it in the middle." Me: The movie Reminiscence ... The first half of the movie was so good to watch, but when Bennister started to search for her it all fell apart ...

I love the movie. The acting is incredible and just hearing Hugh Jackman's voice gives me chills. I think it would have been better if Lisa Joy wouldn't have had to cut quite a bit from the film to make it fit for Warner and HBO, this is why people notice loose ends and maybe some unlogical twists. I hope there'll be a Director's Cut on a DVD so we can see it all as it was intended to be by Lisa Joy.

You videos are addictive. You break these stories down so well it's almost like watching the actual program, not watching someone describe the program. You have some amazing talent! I'm still waiting to see if they re-film the ending of GOT to match your re-write :D :D

This was one of the best bad written movies like even tho you dont really know whats going on in some parts its still really engaging

How did Nick survive in the tank? What did he do for nourishment? How did he keep from floating in his own waste?

The ending had me in tears

This movie was actually really good, enough sci fi, suspense, twists and tums, action...the feel of it kinda pulls you in to keep watching till the end, still thinking about this movie and i saw it Friday night :)

This movie was actually really solid. People get mad at it for being predictable, but a lot of movies are nowadays. This movie still paid off all of its setups, and what sold me was the worldbuilding/concept over the story. Still a decent movie

Actually enjoyed your recap a little better then the actual film. Nice job!

I just want to know how he was an old man in the tank without eating or going to the bathroom, etc. And his hair and beard should have been long, though I guess maybe Watts was cutting his hair and shaving.

I really enjoyed the movie and it had some cool twists and quality acting. Rebecca Ferguson is incredibly hot which makes it even better.

I just finished this movie I cried like a bitch

Rebecca fergusson can be the live version of jessica rabbit…

Did Watts have deeper feelings for Nick?

I loved the gunfight scene. Watt is a badass acholic

Strange Days 1995 This is life. This is a piece of somebody’s life. Pure and uncut, straight from the cerebral cortex. I mean, you’re there, you’re doing it, you’re hearing it, you’re feeling it.

It's the guy rapping back in blood in Miami, for me 🤣😭

I really love your videos!!! Just discovered your channel!! ❤️

Been waiting on you to cover this one

I liked the plot and twist along with the way the story was presented.

I like the story and friends says does not like it. Is low appreciated but i appreciate this beautiful hard work to make ✌🏻🙂

Damn this man chose to live the rest of his life in a genjutsu.

I just got back it was a flawed but engaging thriller

This was a great movie even tho it had mixed reviews and wasn’t a box office hit for obvious reasons. But the thing that I don’t think that people see is it’s a story about love and how some people go to the ends of earth for the one they love..hence the Orpheus and Eurydice story. Love.

My heart this is a beautiful story....

It was a very beautiful Neo noir detective love story. It's been a long time we've seen something original. It's technically reminiscence is the cousin to Christopher Nolan's inception in a way. ❤️❤️

This movie is heartbreaking! 💔🥺

When I misplace my keys I do the same thing. I strip naked, climb into an immersion tank, take an injection to the neck, and allow a couple of weirdos to poke around in my brain.🤣. And they never answer the question: did she recover her keys? That's all you should be caring about😜

This was a great movie i don't understand the fuss. No sarcasm. Remember, recalling memories has a lot to do with details. So many scenes in the movie, randomly focus on tiny details. And then you find the character commenting on that small detail. Even though the memories are in first person, we sometimes get a glimpse of the full scene so we can perceive what was really going on.

An excellent film. Loved it!

How does Nick eat while in the machine? I didn't see any feeding tubes

The ending of the movie elaborates on the holes in the movie. Idk why some of you expect to understand everything at every step of the movie. What would be the point of making it if you knew everything the whole way. You aren't supposed to understand until the end and you're supposed to use your brain, not to be spoonfed an explanation. Go watch a Disney animated film if that's what you're upset about. Again, great movie.

Thanks for the detailed breakdown. I enjoyed the movie and the acting was great

The whole thing is a mash up of other movies - every plot development reminds you of a movie you've seen before.

Jackman’s character telling the story of Orpheus and Eurydice wrong bothered me

I'm really tired of the sexy, female love interest who speaks in eloquent prose that the male interest just falls massively in love with in 3 days.

Brilliant screenwriting and directing!

Great summary!

What a great movie and an amazing storyline and an amazing ending

I loved it…very engaging. He was being setup all this time.A city in water. They sleep during daytime, and the city gets busy during nighttime..,how magical is that…,nice. Woooo!!! She been dead all this time. WATCH THE MOVIE PLEASE!!! I highly recommend it.

I liked the movie and like your reviews. Would like to see/hear more form Lisa Joy and from you as well. Bravo!

Nick should've stayed with Watts and create new memories with her. That woman was good in combat and loyal to him.

Love the all gas no brakes cut

I had very high expectations about this movie. Maybe that could be the reason that I am not impressed with it as much I thought I would be. I thought the story was too narrow and it could have a better ending than this. Also, there were many untold backstories about the context which made the audience wonder what they were.

Upto the mark as expected from the nolan’s family😉 thoroughly enjoyed it…

Kinda reminded me of Love, DEath and Robots. Beyond Aquila Drift.

Miami is being lost to iguanas and I couldn’t be more happy.

The settings is bad, the story is mediocre, but the acting, it’s just amazing.

I liked the movie, but I thought it moved a little slow at times. Like listening to her sing was boring to me 🤣

It was a GREAT Movie! I Loved it! One of my new Favorites - up there with Inception and Shawshank Redemption and Titanic.

Lmao that Miami now clip

At the end of the movie, we see Nick still connected to the memory machine twenty plus years in the future. How is he being fed? Who cleans up after him? Why are his hair and beard nearly trimmed? Is rent still being paid on the building where the machine is? Why hasn’t that neighborhood been inundated with water? Wouldn’t there be a way to keep him connected to the machine but moved to a different location? Why didn’t he just “burn” the happy memories into his mind so he didn’t have to be connected anymore?

How is this tech not taken over the world,nostalgia is why disney owns all the things...

lmfaooo did not expect to see all gas no brakes

Where is the clip of the guy wrapping right at the start from? He is free styling back in blood

Thandiwe Newton is partly playing the same role she did in pursuit of happyness meaning she again struggling to pay bills with her partner boss in this case

I enjoyed the movie overall but some of the dialog was a little cheesy, it was a little slow but overall it was beautiful and engaging, which is also how I'd describe Rebecca Ferguson.

I liked it too. Interesting to note I think one of the melodies in the movie had an XMen like sound to it sounding like the animated series from the 80s. Maybe my imagination.

Only on HBO Max

You lost your Queen? Care to find her again guy is Huey Lewis.

Did Nick accidentally burn the pregnancy memory into Tamara when he helped her early in his career?

Thank you Lisa Joy for NOT using CGI. Love the reality of the shots, makes the whole film!

The movie is not as bad as critics says. Only those who lost a loved one will truly appreciate this movie.

Are you gonna do that new tv show on hulu 9 perfect strangers

Ty for this, cause fuck paying to watch this movie

Where's the clip at 0:23 of the white guy rapping in the suit from?

What about the ear ring he sees I’n the water at the end out the front of his shop?

0:23 Andrew Callaghan | Back In Blood

Love the twist

This movie is amazing

It was actually a good movie 👍🏾 IMO it wasn't predictable

Did anyone else get some serious Max Payne vibes? I kept thinking this felt like a video game… and 3/4 into the movie it finally clicked.

I thought the movie felt cliched and forced in the first 30 mins with lofty dialogues and expositions, and shallow, unrealistic world-building. Featured a commonplace talented, sexy but damaged damsel looking for a better life, one the protagonist falls for at first sight. It was trending to be a 4 but then it got progressively better, more layers were added to the story which took a few unexpected turns, and some of the things that felt banal in the beginning started to make sense and actually hit some emotional chords with me as it came to an end. I will give it a 6 maybe even a 7. The movie had some good ideas but the execution was largely lacking, a decent movie nonetheless.

I actually loved this movie

It felt like the movie took place within a one block radius and none of the characters were likeable or memorable.

Was a good watch imo!

Rebecca Ferguson fast becoming the female Sean Bean.

Did you hear the groan when you said Maemories?

I noticed when Watts visited Bannister, at the end of the movie, she, and he, seem strikingly unwrinkled for being as old as these characters were being portrayed. Was the movie implying they both had been genetically 'enhanced'; maybe, as a need, during their military service?

Smart movie. Really liked it.

I watched this movie on the airplane monitor.

JEEEEZ HUGH JACKMAN CARRIED SO HARD!

Were you the middle aged mid America guy prior doing review of that raised by wolves thing?🤔

The ending reminds me of Happy Rick.

Can anyone clarify for me who that girl is in the scene where Nick meets Cyrus for the first time in person??…………I swear that was May..??

4:36 maemories....subscribe!!!!!!

Miami looks like Bioshock 1 for me

Didnt they do greatest showman together

I get the Matrix meets inception, blade runner vibe.

I was gonna watch this today but it was pg-13, 2 hours 28 minutes long, and had bad reviews.

He tryna forget dem X-men days

I didn’t like the ending because it’s a copout he was weak he would rather live in the past....I really think he never really loved her but an illusion of an illusion. Who wants to relive them same memories I mean how boring would that be day after day ...no the ending for me sucked
