I had been aware of Rememory for a while and put it in the back of my mind to check it out. So it was serendipitous when I fired up my Roku and there on the side of the screen was an advertisement to see this film free ("For a limited time") on Google Play.
Well, that sounded good to me, so I installed the Google Play app and, sure enough, there it was.
I'm glad I took the time to watch this. It's a very nice mystery starring Peter Dinklage of Game of Thrones fame. One of those "What goes around, comes around" movies.
The cast does well, and tragically, it was the last film of Anton Yelchin, who died in a very freakish accident last year. Julia Ormond is also fine as the widow of the victim. I really like her. I think she is an underrated performer.
There is a smidgeon of science fiction to it, but the main thrust of the film is confronting one's past and dealing with it.
The high concept of memory retrieval was of particular interest to me. Wouldn't it be something if we could retrieve our timed-faded memories and relive them in very fine detail? Just the good ones, of course!
