Summary: Umm no
Review: I'm sorry but I really did not like this movie. One of my friends told me that I wouldn't want to see it afterwards and ofcourse I watched it anyway. I can still rememeber the look on me and my friends faces as we sat through the movie the entire time. Basically the entire movie is "literally" backwards. From the beginning, I was sitting there like "What the heck is really going on?!" I thought it was a waste of money-RENT before you BUY....please!

Summary: Awsome movie but.......
Review: stay away from the Limited addition dvd. Total orginal movie, i loved everything about it, but just get the regular dvd, not the limited edition, to access special features you have to perform tests??????? It's crazy, although the packaging is quite neat, which is why i bought the limited edition.

Summary: Powerful
Review: Mememto is a remarkable film. There are details upon details hidden throughout; this is a tour de force of editing and storytelling. Above all, Mememto pushes the envelope as to what film making can be. It's worth your time and effort. Watch and enjoy! Prepare to be amazed.

Summary: I See I Have To Kill Someone. I Had Better Hop To It!
Review: Memento is a terrific movie with excellent acting, complex structure, and fine editing. It reveals new layers even after many viewings and is an empathetic depiction of unfamiliar memory-centered medical and ethical problems. I really recommend the movie. Guy Pearce gets the audience to appreciate the character's situation and sympathize. Still, Leonard Shelby (Pearce's character) is shown killing three people and beating up and kidnapping a third. One of his persistant acquaintences, Teddy (Joe Pantoliano), claims Leonard has killed yet a fourth person. Leonard is neither remorseful nor restrained by religious feelings. He might be considered a smiling psychopath, even allowing for the memory deficiency. If he doesn't get his inciting tattoos removed, he might be serial killing for the rest of his life. This Guy is something else!

Summary: Whirlwind Film-making
Review: The movie begins with a bang (literally and figuratively), and the viewer is immediately sucked in to the story, which, for the most part, works its way backwards in small segments, giving the viewer brief moments of continuity so that the viewer has some sense of chronology in this tale told in reverse. This was my first experience with Guy Pearce in a leading role, and he was impressive, accurately portraying Leonard Shelby's sense of hopeful but frustrated determination to overcome his short-term memory loss. Unlike Dory in Finding Nemo, however, Shelby's condition is not used for comic relief. Instead, the story weaves its way in and out of Shelby's in-the-moment sense of reality, bringing him into contact with a variety of interesting characters, most of whom viciously manipulate him. Joe Pantoliano and Carrie-Ann Moss (of Matrix fame) both play supporting roles, as does CSI/ER veteran Jorja Fox. But the story primarily focuses on Pearce's Shelby, and his desperate attempts to find his wife's killer...and himself. Although I have only watched it once, it would probably be as interesting to view again now that I know what to look for. Not sure I would want to own it, but a very interesting story that compels you to follow it to completion.

Summary: good movie, terrible second disc
Review: The movie is great, but the special features disc is the most obnoxious exercise I've ever done. I navigated the mock psychiatric test for about an hour and only found two lame special features. What a waste of time. So if you're buying the limited edition for the special features, beware that you may never actually find them.

Summary: "Picture" Perfect
Review: Memento, this movie is unique. You think that this movie would go in events from beginning to end. But this movie is different. It goes from the end to the beginning, but is that really possible? Is there a plot that can really support that? Well as a matter a fact there is, this movie can actually have that and also let the end (beginning really if you think about it) have a wicked twist. Now I might be confusing you but be confused no more because now let me explain the plot. Memento is about Leonard, he suffers from short term memory loss. Leonard remembers everything up to his wifes murder. Leonard also was attacked during his wife murder (thus the memory loss) He cannot create new memories. So now he is trying to have his revenge with the killer. But how can he accomplish that with his condition? Well... Leonard is very organized, he can take notes and take pictures so he can remember who is who. He takes pictures of all of his contacts. As he goes through his quest he is getting closer and closer he also gets tricked, people can take advantage of someone who wont remember you. He meets a bad cop named Teddy who helps him meet his murder and a bar maid named Natilie. This movie is very suspenseful, this should not be watched by anyone younger than 15, because this movie is very graphic. Be careful when you watch this because some parts are boring. Have fun...

Summary: Memento - Intriguing and original!
Review: "Memento" can obviously be described in many ways. I see it pretty much as a mind boggling and extremely original movie that is extraordinarily inventive in how it's told. From the very beginning or should I say the very end of this film to the end or was it the beginning, this film will lead you in the process of here's how it ended and now let's work out how we got there. I simply cannot think of any other film that I've seen that has been portrayed in such a manner and oddly enough, it works wonderfully for this thriller. Simply put, to make this movie work, it had to take some of Hollywood's best on screen talents and that is exactly what the producers of this film came up with. Guy Pearce's performance as a man who cannot make new memories is stunning to say the least. The ever beautiful Carrie-Anne Moss of "Matrix" fame performs brilliantly, showing that she definitely has talents outside of the "Matrix." Joe Pantoliano, most recently acclaimed for his performance during his stint on "The Sopranos," performs exceptionally well in this film, just showing that he gets better and better with every role. The movie was based on an original short story by Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan took it and ran with it, culminating in this extremely intriguing revenge thriller. Christopher Nolan most certainly deserves all the praise and accolades he has and continues to receive for the originality of concept in the screenplay and his directing performance of this film. The Premise: Guy Pearce plays Leonard Shelby, a rather odd individual who at one point seemingly had the perfect life with his wife yet one day that came crashing down on him when he awoke and found men attempting to rape and kill his wife. During that incident he struck his head on the wall and has, since that time, not been able to make any new memories. What follows from there is an intriguing tale in which Leonard, who is constantly taking Polaroid snapshots, making notes and doing self tattoo's to remind him of the "facts," attempts to seek revenge upon the person responsible for his wife's death... I would definitely recommend this mind boggling, well told revenge thriller for any and all who are interested in this type of film, Guy Pearce's performance alone makes this film one to watch! {ssintrepid} Special Features: -IFC Interview with Writer/Director Christopher Nolan

Summary: Memory is Deception
Review: Here we have a man whoe had an accident. He can no longer make new memories, they just fade away. So he must leave himself notes. Mostly in the form of poloroid picture and very important notes are tattooed to his body. He is on a mission of revenge. He is after his wife's rapist and murderer. But he has no memory after the accident. The movie begins with the end and goes to the beginning in ten to fifteen minute segments divided always by a black and white segment that goes in normal order which actually takes place before the colour part does. It may sound confusing, but is actually quite e4asy to follow. The point of the movie is not to find out whodunit, but the why. The acting is perfect and the cinematogrophy is perfect as well. The music really fits the mood too. Plus there is a twist at the end (or the beginning!). Multiple viewings are required to really pick up on certain things that are definelty missed and will make the story have more sense and really uncover the "conspiracy", if there really is one that is! The special features could be really good...if I could find them that is. Disc 2 is filled with them. But the menus and the "tests" you have to take on each selection are so cryptic and obscure its darn near impossible. It took me an hour to get the "anatomy of a scene" show thing. And that was all I was able to find. That one gripe aside, everything is perfect. I have no beef with the movie whatsoever, it's totally awesome and I wish everyone would watch it. Watch it!

Summary: Mind Boggling!
Review: I have watched this movie 4 times now and I _think_ I get it. I really dont want to give away the story or any details, but I highly recommend this to those movie viewers who want their entertainment to contain a bit of substance, and those who want to walk away with a big 'hmmm'? Infact if you search on the web, you will find entire web sites dedicated to deciphering this movie. Very cool.
