Reminiscence Trailers

There are worlds, there are humans and there are Others. But there is only one Time which is the border between worlds. What if time breaks down? Reminiscence based on true events and physics, telling the story of a couple that trying to experiment the unproved parallel time and black-hole theories. They traveled to a town called Cesme for their research. But what they will face is much beyond the human mind.

I was also fooled by the synopsis and the trailer. I suppose if you read about a horror movie based on physics theories you expect an interesting plot. But this movie has no plot at all. All you get is one of the characters explaining some theory in an extremely broken English, so good luck understanding that.There are a few good scenes like the ones showed on the trailer, but between those there are painfully slow-paced shots with two characters who are apparently unable to talk about what the hell is going on because of language limitations (why was it written in English anyway?). Halfway through the movie I wondered if it would end with them putting out a hashish pipe and coming back from a really bad trip.Imagine you are having a series of visions so disturbing you cannot discern what is real and what is not anymore. Someone you know wakes you up and asks what happened and you say "I don't know, let's take a walk/get some rest". This dialogue repeats itself a few times until someone finally says "Uh, a bad dream...? Let's get something to eat."I agree there must be something wrong with the positive reviews. They are trying to create an Emperor's New Clothes spiral of silence, implying that this movie is so sophisticated it will only appeal to a few select bright minds, when it's simply bad.

This must be one of the worst films I've seen in quite some time.Unfortunately the director seems to have done every job himself and I think that includes marketing as it looks (painfully obvious) that he's written most of the 'good' reviews on here! With lines like: 'I am happy that Reminiscence is not a kind of horror film that we usually watch. It is also very interesting that Reminiscence is first movie of Akçay Karaazmak and he made all by himself. Which actually is unbelievable. He wrote, directed, made the visual effects, did the editing, composed the music, even most of the shots are filmed by him.'It's a shame when you have to create fake accounts to write fake reviews about your own film. Reminiscence's got bad sound, terrible photography, acting, music, editing and script. Stay clear of this one as you will be wasting your time. Absolutely awful film.

Okay, so I watched this film based on the IMDb rating, (at this point, roughly 1300 votes giving a 7.2 rating). After watching maybe 30 seconds, I pressed pause in confusion. You know how when you watch a film, and it's immediately apparent that it's not as good as you thought it was going to be? This was definitely one of those occasions. So, I returned to IMDb to read the reviews. Having done that, one might conclude that it's one of those classic 'love it/hate it' scenarios - but then I noticed something that seemed a little odd to me. All of the positive reviews appeared to contain the same, or similar, English grammar/syntax errors. Of course, one would never convict on suspicion alone, my suspicion is however, that they're all written by the same person. Because of that, after years of using IMDb, I wanted to write a review. But wait, I thought, I should at least give the film a chance before coming on here to condemn it. So I started watching again.I'm proud to say I managed to watch a whole hour - even though I wanted to turn it off after the first five minute opening scene, and nothing that happened in the subsequent 55 min's did anything other than reinforce that urge. It's bad. It's really, really bad.The acting is awful. Though to be fair, a large part of this may be due to the actors maybe not having English as a first language? I'm just guessing. The storyline just.... well... there isn't one really; far as I can tell. Apparently there's some sort of planetary alignment, or such, that will affect the Earth's magnetic field and cause weird stuff to happen. Whoever made this film took that as licence to make the entire film, (well, the first hour at least) as unintelligible and disjointed as possible. The whole thing consists mostly of long, drawn out photographic type shots or sequences, culminating in something abstract, unexplained or just plain stupid - then jump to the next long, drawn out photographic type shot... etc... etc...And the music? As has already been suggested by other reviewers - it's incessant. Every single scene, or even sometimes just a change of shot, has its own piece of music. All of which is usually set too loud over the dialogue. And whilst sometimes, the music score and photography may complement each other, the fact it never lets up just serves to spoil the whole thing.All in all, I'm giving it 2/10. The only reason, despite the phony reviews, it doesn't get a one, is because every once in a while, there's some really nice photography. Also, whenever one of the 'monsters' appears, the makeup/special effects aren't too bad, and just for a split second you think it might be about to get interesting. Unfortunately not the case. If you're into 'artsy' type films, or you study photography, you may get something out of this - otherwise I'd say it's a fail and give it a miss.

I don't even know where to begin..The team behind this movie did excel at one thing -writing fake reviews!It is the worst movie I have ever seen. Ever. As in, worse than "Van helsing 2" Way way worse!Of course, the hardest part was the disappointment, first I read the (*FAKE*!!) reviews, and noticed the really High score here on IMDb (8.5 at that point, its still dropping..) and then I watched the trailer -which is good, wish that was the movie! And then.. After days of searching, I finally found the movie! Where to start?The story-: .. There is none. Time breaks down, now is then, then is now, it could work..but it doesn'tThe acting-: I played Snow white In kindergarden, and I was better than these..people. They suck. THEY.CANNOT.ACT! The few lines in this movie are delivered In the most painful, awkward way, they make porn actors look like 1class Hollywood actors.The "script"-: it makes me wonder if some Turkish guy discovered Google translate and thought "hey now I can write it In English!". English isn't my first language, but I do speak it well enough to know, that this movie wasn't written by someone who speak English (neither does the actors btw.) thankfully the movie consist of just a handful of lines, non of them are important for "the story", you might as well just turn the sound off...The music-:.. Oh the music. Liked it In the trailer? Sure, dark, creepy, loud.. The director liked the music too! So much that he decided to use it NON STOP throughout the entire movie! After 10 minutes you just wanna turn the sound of, its unbearable!Camera-: I Think they might filmed it on an IPhone? I have a 3 year old niece, sometimes she will steal my phone, run around with it, 90% of the video will be of her feet. Same goes for this movie.Scarefactor-: 0. None. This movie is so bad, the only thing that scares you is that it might never end..This is a bad movie, and I'm pretty easy to satisfy, I'm very easy to scare, I literally passed out when I watched "the woman In Black" but this! Anyone could make this movie, though most would have too much selfrespect and compassion for others to do so. Obviously the Crew behind this movie is writing a ton of positive reviews, and giving the movie high ratings, do not fall for it! I promise you will regret it, this movie should be banned from IMDb..
