Review of Rememory

Rememory (2017)
Very interesting movie, kept me immersed in the story.

I found this on Amazon streaming movies.

This is a sci-fi story, it involves a technique that will likely never be realized, that is inventing a machine that allows a person's deepest memories to be recalled and actually viewed by that person and others, all recorded on what looks a lot like a glass microscope slide.

Peter Dinklage is the lead character as Sam Bloom and it is never totally clear why he does this, but when the inventor of the machine is found dead in his office, with bullet holes in the wall behind him, Sam sets out to solve the mystery, how did the man die and was he murdered? He has to get access to the machine and the memory slides.

Dinklage is very good in this role, if he had grown up to be 6-4 instead of 4-4 I suspect he would be a bigger star and a romantic lead, he has the looks and voice and the acting chops. The movie uses lots of cuts and editing tricks to keep the suspense up, and it works. I enjoyed it more for the character interactions than the story itself.

Anton Yelchin has a role in this movie, filming finished up just a short time before he died in an unfortunate accident in 2016.
