Cerebrum

O, man we are so drunk tonight, but i have an idea: why not make a movie together tomorrow? We did see so many movies, so we know how to act and make a movie ourselves. You have a camera somewhere don't you and your parents are on holiday so we can use their house with the barn. I know this Hollywood actor James Russo. He is good. He already got a name in the field. So we give him some money to play some scenes Then we sell it and get rich!

Apart from the obvious lack of willingness to honour the audience by at least attempting to act (mister Russo excluded), the film is loaded with shameless inconsistences from beginning to end and stupidity, like when Chloe comes running outside and sees "Tom" standing next to a car who says: "We gotta get to the farm now" and Chloe reacts "How?" while they're both standing at either side of a car. And the use of the German language.......... Then Reinhard who is in the body of Tom takes so much time to kill himself (Tom) that a severely handicapped snail 1 mile away would have time enough to crawl to the scene, reincarnate 3 times on the way and still have time enough to reach Reinhard's face and prevent the suicide/murder.

I was really blow away by the film! It got a good story/script about discovery new science but the best part is the relationship between a father and son. It's a film that I would recommend to anyone and whom didn't like science fiction films.

A great performances by the cast. It's a film will taking you on a roller coaster ride!

What a waste and very amateurish. Guess I get what I pay for in streaming and indi-sci-fi flick from an amateur director. This was cliche and if you have seen any digital-life-transcendance movie you pretty much are watching its rip-off cousin. I liked the "title" I guess, but that's probably the only positive thing out of this. Now how do I get back my hours?????

The new movie Cerebrum is a sci-fi film that gives viewers a sense of what a path to insanity looks like. With an interesting concept, deception and lies, and the pursuit to uncover the truth, Cerebrum will keep your eyes glued to the screen until the end. For thought-provoking, mind-altering entertainment, this is the movie to watch.

Cerebrum is about a man named Tom (Christian James) who returns to his father's home despite their tough, unfavorable relationship. Not long after arriving, Tom finds that his father Kirk (James Russo) is working on creating digital brains so that Alzheimer's patients would never lose their memory. Enticed by a monetary payoff, Tom gives in to his father, agrees to become a guinea pig for this secret, untested procedure, and ends up committing a crime that he can't remember. Working with Chloe (Alexxis Lemire), he has to uncover the truth before it's too late.

This movie has a well-executed tone. The story is chaotic and dangerous, and is complemented by darkness and dusky colors. The setting for most of Cerebrum takes place in a dark and messy lab. This creates tension and gives the movie an eerie feel. Along with the settings, the characters' wardrobe also matches the film's tone. Tom always wears dark colors that match his character's personality and the film's plot. The background music, arranged by Edward Antonio, enhances the sense of conflict. For instance, in one scene where Tom and Andy (Anirudh Pisharody) are fighting outside, the music keeps building and building until the end of their fight. It emphasizes what is going on, which makes the scene more memorable. Although Cerebrum intends to highlight the process of sharing memories between people, the parts of the storyline where people actually exchange minds is somewhat confusing. Even if you are paying close attention, if you miss one thing, you could be thrown off entirely. Despite this, the film kept me interested until the end.

The message of Cerebrum is that the truth will always come out. Even though many people accus Tom of committing the crime, he still persevered to uncover what really happened and eventually, others knew the truth as well. There is some profanity, so a parent should be aware of that.

Cerebrum is a captivating film, especially for fans of science fiction. It's definitely unlike anything I've ever seen before. I rate it 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 14 to 18, plus adults. Reviewed by Maica N., KIDS FIRST!

Although categorized as sci-fi, but carries a distinct feel of a psychological thriller. The best thing is the way not only the characters, but the locale, cinematography and background score adds to the overall impact of the film. Nicely paced, so successfully keeps the viewer engaged throughout. All in all a very good movie.
