Self/less: Der Fremde in mir

It is another wonderful piece of scifi movie!

First of all, it has a very exciting plot! The plot is very interesting, the first 20 minutes would want you to stay and finish it, the story starts with with Damian, Ben Kingsley, that gives a good start, although the scene with him did not gave out much of a story, it works very fine to start. Then the story and the plot at the near half becomes simplistic, that excitement drop, but it seems to be the general thought, thats why it becomes very common. On the way to the end of the story it becomes brilliant in a way , the perspective of the protagonist becomes conscious, this starts the another sub-plots, another story to deal with but this gave the story more color. Then again, as the story ends, it gave out a very sweet desert which thirsts me. Lastly, the ending has one of the most wonderful and beautiful scene ever in a sci fi or any movie which is nice ending.

Secondly, about the actors, they all did perfectly for their roles, Ryan Reynolds is very perfectly fits the Role as young Damian, he portrays the exact person you would be on the situation, anna, the daughter, portrays a very charming daughter, suits the expression from a child who has disease. They all fits and act perfectly on every situation, but a talking without looking a speck on their eyes.

Lastly, the directing was obviously mediocre, the movie was good, the story, the plot, the actors, its just not a winning movie for me, there's something missing, maybe it focused too much story, which did not give emphasis to the core of it. The movie is compared to other well knowned sci fi movie is better but it is on the same level, it did not give a best of the plot, best of the wonderful idea.

For the conclusion, it is a very entertaining Sci Fi movie everyone would like, very much, but on the other side it is no different to other SciFi movies, from the whole.

In recent times it seems like a sci fi thriller is a tricky movie to master, and whilst I don't pretend that Self/less mastered it, it's a very watchable and enjoyable movie.

'Billionaire Damian, a man responsible for enormous business deals, a big figure with the ability to buy whatever he wants, but not the thing he needs, a cure for cancer.

I really did enjoy this movie, the concept was a good one, it was a clever plot. There were enough surprises and plenty of intrigue to keep you wondering.

If I had one little niggle, it's that for me after the transformation to Reynolds it felt like a different film, it didn't feel seamless, maybe that was intentional, I felt they could have delved into the transition a little deeper, it seemed to happen to quickly.

Lots of action scenes, really well directed, the effects were great too. I wish Google searches worked so quickly for me, Pumpkin Towers (All I'm saying. 11,300,000 results,) my he was lucky.

Brilliantly acted, Kinglsey naturally has gravitas, he's so watchable. Ryan Reynolds was excellent I thought, I really enjoyed his performance, Matthew Goode I thought was outstanding, managing to be sinister without overplaying it. I love Michelle Dockery, but she was a little underused, just a bit part.

8/10 Very watchable, surprisingly so.

Damian(Ben Kingsley) a self made billionaire discovers he is dying, and does have much longer to live, discovers a secret facility that can transfer his soul into a younger body(Ryan Reynolds), when the transfer is a success, Damian really begins to enjoy his new life in his new body, but soon realizes that his new life will have a price to pay.

I'm surprised that I liked this, I went expecting this to be bad, but I was amazed on how intriguing it kept me. It shows on we deal with dying and immortality, and things we must learn to face in life. Ben Kingsley was good, and Ryan Reynolds really surprised me. Matthew Goode was incredible. It does have some good action scenes, and great sci-fi element. Everybody gives a good performance here, and it does what sci-fi should do, kept you intrigue.

Well I definitely had fun watching Self/less. I was just expecting a mystery thriller but it is more science fiction then mystery. The movie is different from the usual stuff we see. A nice innovative script about what almost everybody would want, immortality. Of course it's only available for the super rich. If it would ever happen in real life that's how it would turn out also. Only the super rich can afford everlasting youth. The movie is very entertaining. You never get bored for one second. A lot of action, a couple twists, and good acting from the whole cast. Ben Kingsley doesn't play a large role at all, it's Ryan Reynolds that has the major role and he does it very well. Self/less deserves a higher rating then it actually has on IMDb. Give it a shot if you like something refreshing.

This film tells the story of a real estate tycoon who is terminally ill. He undergoes a procedure that transplants his mind into a new body, which continues his life in a different way. Yet, when he experiences unfamiliar flashbacks, he decides to investigate the origins of these intrusive memories.

The plot examines what it is like if there are mind transplants, and it does so very well. It provokes much debate towards the ethical issues on this controversial procedure. During this process, there is much adventure, including thrilling cat and mouse chases and lots of combats. It blends science fiction and action thriller very well together, captivating my attention and making me on edge very often. I really enjoyed it.
