Reminiscence is a science-fiction thriller film released on August 20, 2021, directed and written by Lisa Joy. The movie stars Hugh Jackman, Rebecca Ferguson, and Thandiwe Newton. The film is set in a dystopian future Miami where sea levels have risen to a dangerous level, and the city has become inundated. Amidst this chaos, we follow Nick Bannister (Hugh Jackman), a private investigator, who uses a unique technology to help people revisit their lost memories to provide closure to their past.

The movie starts with Nick explaining his work to his clients, where he hooks them to a machine that takes them to their memories virtually. The plot thickens when a mysterious client named Mae (Rebecca Ferguson), enters Nick’s office, searching for her lost keys, which leads to a more substantial mystery. Alongside Mae’s enchanting personality, Nick receives a challenging offer.

Nick’s world starts to crumble when Mae suddenly disappears from his life. He becomes obsessed with finding her and gets caught up in a dangerous plot involving the powerful tycoon, Walter Sylvan (Brett Cullen), who has political and economic control over Miami. Nick gets himself involved with dangerous consequences while trying to put the pieces together to find Mae.

The storyline does have its twists and turns as it becomes apparent that all is not as it seems. The story is a sort of a combination of detective movie merged with mind-bending science fiction, calling into question reality and our perceptions of the past and future.

The acting was excellent throughout the movie, especially Hugh Jackman, who carried out the role effortlessly. The make-up and effects are highly praised for their special attention to detail, not only making the characters stand out in their roles but also making the futuristic world of Miami look more authentic to the audience.

The music, scenery, and tone were all perfectly balanced in Reminiscence, highlighting the difference between the past and present, between hope and despair. It was also praiseworthy to the details in the set design and wardrobe, creating a mood and tone that placed the audience within the movie’s world.

The film’s structure is influenced by the Christopher Nolan movies, as there is an immediate visual and stylistic resemblance between Reminiscence and movies like Inception and Interstellar. The movie runs at a moderate pace, from beginning to end. There are moments where the tension drops, and the plot seems to meander, but it still maintains a steady stream of adventure that keeps audiences interested throughout.

Overall, Reminiscence offers an action-packed, suspense-filled movie with just enough twists and turns to keep viewers on the edge of their seat. Even though the plot may seem predictable, it still offers a great deal of entertainment and excitement. The characters are well-acted, and the cinematography is stunning, with visuals that add to the dystopian backdrop, creating a more believable world.

In conclusion, Reminiscence portrays a cautionary tale with sophistication and style that casts light on the current issues and realities of the world we live in. Among its themes are: past vs. present, environmental degradation, technology, societal corruption, loss, and memory. The film is not just a thrilling ride, but also a well-crafted piece of social and political commentary that both educates and entertains.
