Summary: otnemem- memento
Review: This film is one of the greatest films of all time. The script is absolutely great and so is the story and the acting. The story is hard to understand at first but you will eventually figure out whats happening after hte first few scenes. The limited edition DVD is one of the best DVDs out there. Te extras are terrific. One of the extras is seeing the movie in chronilogical order which is really cool (because the actual movie goes backwords). The really cool thing about the special edition is that you have to answer questions to access the special features and to even see the movie. It also has a special commentary that has different endings. The DVD is in the shape of a file of the main character in the movie. It has a bunch of loose papers that are held together with a paper clip! If you get this movie on DVD I strongly suggest that you get this excellent Limited Edition. Trust me this is a really good movie. You should at least rent this movie as soon as you get done reading this review. Thanks for your time. Enjoy the movie!

Summary: An absorbing and unforgetable piece of modern cinema
Review: Playing in rewind, this film tells the story of ex-insurance investigator Leonard (Guy Pearce) with an uncontrolable case of "short-term" memory lose lives for only one purpose, to find and kill the man who raped and "murdered" his wife, using tattoed notes on his body as his only source of progress. An deniably interesting and gripping thriller loaded with many mixed elements of film noir, astonishing performances and an uncountable number of twists and turns that it packs a punch right in the viewers face.
This DVD edition is a delightful treat for such an outstanding film. Razor sharp picture and crystal clear sound, informative IFC (Independent Film Channel) interview with director Christopher Nolan, theatrical trailer and TV spot, trailer for director's earlier feature "Following", interesting and somewhat creepy tattoo gallery and director and cast biographies. A must have DVD for anyone who owns a player.

Summary: interesting...
Review: this movie was certainly different than most i have seen. i really liked the end, but with all of the different time-changes it got to be a bit confusing. i'd say its about 3 1/2 stars. it definitely makes you think and pay attention, though it's easy to get lost with everything going on.

Summary: Interesting
Review: What's good about this movie is the innovative way it's told rather than the story. If told in sequential fashion, I don't think this movie would have made much of an impression on the viewer or had the impact it obviously did.Well done!

Summary: Everything a DVD should be
Review: --Quick plot synopsis: A psychological thriller about a man with short-term memory loss trying to track down his wife's killer. It does an excellent view of putting the viewer on the same level as the main character by showing the movie in reverse. ie. The first scene you see is the last one in the story. --The folks at Columbia/Tristar really went all-out to bring the viewer into this movie. The menus alone give you a perspective on the story and main character not possible in the theater. This two-disc set gives you everything you'd expect from a special edition: director's commentary; trailers; production photos; mini documentary; 5.1 surround sound, etc. But wait, there's more... It's just hidden within the maze of questions in the psychological exam that makes up the menus on both discs. If you keep searching on disc two, you'll be able to watch the movie in chronological order, which is my reason for buying this special edition. (If they don't edit this out as a spoiler, just select the Clock form the main menu, choose answer "c" five times on the questions, then put the pictures of the woman fixing the flat tire in the order of 3,4,1,2.)

Summary: .movie smart very, very One
Review: There is much good to be said about Memento. The low-key direction is a big plus (no annoying swells in the soundtrack and such) that adds to the tension. The cast, principally Guy Pearce, Joe Pantoliano & Carrie-Ann Moss, is terrific. And that's just for starters. The best thing about it is the story. You probably know the basics: Leonard Shelby (Pearce) out to avenge wife's murder, has no short term memory, scenes are shown in reverse chronological order. This is a high concept that is done very well. Memento may be one of the cleverest movies ever. Not only are you caught up trying to figure out what's going on, but many of the scenes are surprisingly powerful: Leonard's tatoo-covered body, his attempts to assert that memory is over-reated, one character showing how easy it is to manipulate someone with his condition. And "Do not believe his lies" can take its place along with "Rollo Tomassi" and "Who is Keyser Soze?" in the neo-film noir hall of fame. A few gripes: the big twist at the end, while a good one, didn't strike me as quite as original as the rest of the movie. (Don't worry, no spoilers; but I can think of another flick that had a rather similar twist at the end.) A story this complex probably leaves a few goofs in continuity, though it takes some careful observation to spot them. And duh! How on earth did whoever produced this DVD avoid the most obvious feature: a version with the scenes in chronological order? What were they thinking? That said, this is a great movie with mondo potential (demand, almost) for multiple viewings. Watch carefully. Do not believe the lies...

Summary: Get this movie--it is unlike anytthing you have seen before
Review: Enough people have already told the plot of this movie but it
is so interesting to see such an unusual and unique film being
made today. It is so clever and how anyone can up with this
story is beyond me. I love the way you see a scene and then it goes back to why the scene happened. All I can say is Guy
Pearce is excellent. This had to be a difficult movie to make
and he pulls it off fine. You get so caught up in it--you can't
wait to see what happens next. Slowly you start figuring out what is going on. The movie starts at the end and plays to the
beginning. I wish on the DVD there was some way you could watch
it at the beginning of the movie and lead up to the end. But
I guess that is what makes it so unique. Look there is so much
crap out there it is so refreshing too see something so original.
You really have to watch this movie again and again and I can't
wait. Guy Pearce---cool--what a cool dude

Summary: Otnemem...A new type of film to entice you...
Review: Otnemem (Memento) Is a powerful story of revenge following an Insurance Inspector (Guy Pierce) who witnesses his wife's rape and murder. However, when he tried to stop it he was knocked unconcience and suffered a head wound that kept him from making new memories. The last thing he does remember is her murder. Now he must bring justice to the one who did it. To remember things he must tatoo them to his body. A terrific Film for both Nolan and Pierce.

Summary: Memorable
Review: Christopher Nolan makes a quirky offbeat film that has a catch. You must be an experienced and seasoned film goer to appreciate and perhaps like it. He laughs in the face of conventions and goes for broke. What we get is a satisfying movie that doesn't take itself too seriously.
