It's hard to feel anything for the lead, because she comes off very unlikable. And liking, or feeling sympathy for the protagonist is probably kind of important. Although there were many beautiful shots, there were just as many unneeded slow scenes. I tried to like it. But I didn't.

Ren (Jessica De Gouw) goes off the deep end and her brother drowns and becomes a mental vegetable. She has created a company that creates chemically implanted memories...memories of not traveling to Mars and saving the miners, but snow boarding. Her experiments have risk and her main goal is to revive her brother. And as expected the film gets to the point where we don't know what is real and what is an implanted memory for its clever twist. Not as well scripted as I would have liked. Acting was okay. Guide: F-word, sex, no nudity

I love Science Fiction movies and I'm usually willing to put up with mediocre character development, and plot holes, but in this case I was so frustrated that I fast forwarded some parts of the movie. This should have been condensed into an hour long black mirror episode. The cinematography and acting was decent, it was the plot, characters, and pointlessly long scenes that annoyed me. The "twist" wasn't really a twist, it's what you expected to happen throughout the movie. I didn't bond with the characters; the only character I actually had feelings about was Sam and I obviously disliked him. The father was pointless; the lover, Danny, was pointless. The brother was only important to the story, I didn't care about his well being. I'm probably being harder on this film that I normally would, but that's because it had the potential to be awesome...instead.....I'm taking the time to warn you not to waste your time.

I really enjoyed this movie. It was well written and acted but I thought the ending was convoluted. I thought a better ending would be to have her wake up from a coma since it was her that drowned, not her brother. Her father could have created the code so that she had to fight to wake up. Trying to save her brother could have been a way to use her own ideas to help the code and explain the process while she was in a coma. As it was, I thought it was a more standard Hollywood ending.

Discovered it by accident, and the reviews here at IMDb convinced me to watch. Plot is good, special effects, flow, suspense...it's all good, and definitely worth the time. I was caught guessing wrong a few times! I really enjoy Jessica De Gouw's acting. Very good at her job, and I hope we see her in a lot more big screen roles in the future.

Under the influence of latest development of "nearly" Sci-Fi shows (Black Mirror, etc.) this one has an enticing idea and I really wanted to love this film. The thing is, without a developed story line, I kind of lost interest after 3/4 of the film where it was obvious that there was no telling between reality and imagination anymore and that we're up for a twist. which was, in turn, disappointing, as well as the ending which lacked resolution and leaves the viewer puzzled and waiting for more. The only reason I am writing this is because I actually felt this film has good potential in the first 20 minutes. However, I like the quote : "As far as your brain is concerned, fantasy and reality are chemically identical."
