Introduction to Hugh Jackman’s Reminiscence Movie Review

 

 

You may have noticed that lately there have been several big block buster type films that were released only in movie theaters exclusively.

Exceptions include the Hugh Jackman’s Reminiscence movie that was released in theaters and also on HBO Max. After seeing the movie trailer, I decided to watch Reminiscence on HBO Max. Was this movie worth my time or my HBO Max subscription?  Check out my movie review of Hugh Jackman's Reminiscence to find out.

 

 

Plot of Hugh Jackman’s Reminiscence Movie

 

 

Initially, you may conclude that Hugh Jackman’s movie is a romantic drama based on the meeting of Hugh Jackman’s character, Nick Bannister and that of Mae played by Rebecca Ferguson. However, if you watch the complete film, you will find out the movie is much deeper and dare I say complicated than a simple “boy meets girl” movie.  

 

The Setting of Hugh Jackman’s Reminiscence Movie

 

The movie, Reminiscence, caught my interest mainly because the settings of the events are sometimes on land and sometimes on sea. Believe it or not -- sometimes the land is mmersed partially in water, and was actually inhabited by people. After seeing many movies with the usual typical land/air/water type environments - it was refreshing for me to watch a movie cast in different visual locations.

 

 

Acting Abilities of the Cast of Hugh Jackman’s Reminiscence Movie

 

 

I would say the acting displayed in Reminiscence was adequate for the movie story. There were no stand-out dramatic parts that stood out to me. It looks like the intent of this movie is to entertain the audience rather than garner an oscar or academy award for any of the actors. 

 

If you decide to watch Hugh Jackman’s Reminiscence movie, you may have to remind yourself that he is playing a role far different than that of his other major acting character -- the Marvel superhero Wolverine. I think he did a good job of transitioning from a superhero to this character. After a while, the knowledge that he played the part of Wolverine may began to fade as you continue to watch the Hugh Jackman's movie, Reminiscence.

 

 

Twists and Turns in the Plot of Hugh Jackman's Reminiscence Movie

 

As I watched Hugh Jackman’s Reminiscence movie, I wondered where and when the twists or the turns would come into play.  Of course this came to be, however, the writer/director took their time to reveal what was actually happening in the movie.  You will know what I’m talking about if you watch Hugh Jackman’s Reminiscence movie.

 

Ending of the Hugh Jackman’s Reminiscence Movie

 

I will not spoil this movie; however, suffice it to say that the movie had an ideal ending at least 15 minutes before the actual ending. In my opinion, extra footage was added to the movie that included actress Thandiwee Newton at the end which did not seem to serve any purpose. At least one thing is clear, there probably will not be a sequel to the movie, Reminiscence -- unless it is told with a whole new set of characters.

 

 

 

Assessment of Hugh Jackman’s Reminiscence Movie

 

I categorize Hugh Jackman’s Reminiscence movie as slow moving, but not to the point that it was boring.  You will have to be patient as the story unfolds to find out what is happening in the film. 

 

That being said, I believe the steadily escalating events in the movie are well worth the wait. However, due to the ending of the movie as well as the ambiguous time period that these events occurred, I would rank this movie as one that is “OK” to watch.
