Battle of Memories

An interesting and stylishly filmed little SciFi/dystopian murder mystery.

Full of interesting twists and turns. So much so that it is really really difficult to follow, particularly with subtitles.

Other reviewers mentioned plot holes and there were probably many but given my general confusion I don't think it mattered.

I honestly enjoyed the movie more for its Hitchcock cinematic style and score. It was fun.

Battle of Memories is quite intriguing ... for the first 5 minutes. After that I'm afraid, it's all down hill. Constantly referencing a host of similar - themed, but better, earlier movies (Total Recall, Inception, Paycheck etc), it's major problem lies in its foundation plot line premise. In the future people can go to Memory Centres and undergo procedures to erase some of their memories ... subject to, we find out, a plethora of confusing, uninteresting qualifications, terms and conditions. Immediately the alert viewer is asking oneself who would bother then, if it's not a straight forward operation? Well apparently Jiang Feng would.

He's a popular author whose wife, Zhang Daichen has decided to divorce him, for reasons (surprise, surprise!) that are never made clear. So not unreasonably then I suppose, he decides to have his memories of her deleted, a course of action that we suspect may be compromised by a critical incident occurring, just before he leaves the Centre. To add to his misfortune, on arriving home, Daichen suddenly announces she wants to postpone the divorce (for reasons not explained until the last 10 minutes of the film, in a ho hum twist dramatically better utilised in soap operas such as Days of Our Lives). And things don't get much better despite the inclusion of serial - killers, odd ball cops and copious black and white memory flashbacks (and for good measure, endless variations of same).

Production standards are admittedly quite good, but overall tone of the film is just plain weird. It's not just the reams of clunky, awkward dialogue that characters are forced to spout (it can't all be blamed on poor sub - title translations.) But the tone of the film is constantly out of kilter. E. G. What's with episodes such as the Three Stooges like slapstick farce of the cops rolling down the stairs together, in a film supposed to be some sort of sci - fi thriller?

For those who manage to stay the course of this dull mess of a film, they'll find Battle of Memories collapsing into a morass of blindingly stupid coincidences and who cares plot twists. Character motivations change directions like the wind to better suit the convenience of the story. The climactic revelation of the killer's identity is obvious, with the only benefit being we now know this banal movie will thankfully soon end.

Hello, this week we meet in a movie of the ship. Really, don't like the Flower Language Category anymore, but do be invited should go. Watch the trailer at the Battle of Memories Zen found normal. But when the movies then that feeling from usual moved unusually quickly.

Battle of Memories tells the story of a world and a country. There, the people can remove the unwanted memories to moderate emotions. And our main character is the price. A writer malfunction and break with his wife. In an un-mounted memory and the memory of it accidentally mix up memories of a criminal homicide. Everything starts here.

While the dreamy half-awake, the room price always have memories with a number of people. Naturally these people he did not know. Especially as he saw him kill them. Battle of Memories began engaging and dramatic from here.

Revolves around Bo Huang is the character as Duan Yihong (police are investigating the case). Extra role always stretch the kid in each of the details of the incident. Combined with her Style to find the killers.

Review Battle of Memories Jinglei Xu's wife of His Style also makes the film more trouble section =)))).

Zishan Yang is a staff nurse, suddenly became suspect!!!! Whether she does is killer???.

Mystery woman: as if his wife Bo Huang made you a puppet then please this beautiful character do you tangle to 10!!! Why then you will clearly see the film.

Clever use of plot twists. As with sixth sense, you watch it twice to check for clues missed on first viewing.

Saw this with my wife in a AMC Cinema in Columbus, Ohio. We were two of a total of 9 people in the theater. ....Which was too bad, because this was a very well done, fun, entertaining movie: much better than the schlock playing in the other 23 rooms of the complex.

The idea of memory erasure and insertion is not totally new (see "Total Recall") nor is the idea of two different humans memories competing (See "Get Out") Nevertheless, this movie has some original ideas about the problem and an intricate web of a story that emerges in the confusion of the competing memories.

Outstanding acting and cinematography. Visually stunning. The lead actor is particularly convincing. Beautiful Chinese costars, exciting pace, keeps you guessing. My only complaint is that the writer/director actually tried to do a little too much with the complicated story. For example, the similarly confusing "Get Out" snaps together into perfect coherence after the last 60 seconds of the movie. In "Battle of Memories", the pieces don't quite all fit together at the end. Nevertheless, overall the movie was great entertainment, exciting, well acted, very interesting, beautiful to watch - we enjoyed the evening.
