Minor Premise

Minor Premise: In ways a bit like Split because neuro-scientist has split his consciousness into ten different parts, Trouble is he did it deliberately to troubleshoot a memory editing device , the different segments control him for six minutes at a time. Leaving him with blackouts, some his personalities are creative others are violent. This affects his lif and continuing grants as a researcher, his relationships and even his continued existence. The editing is good ar tines especially when he tries to get the maths of his experimental machine to work out. But it can also be confusing as it chops and cuts between timelines. Pay close attention. To this interesting SF tale about memory and consciousness.. Directed by Eric Schultz in his directorial debut. He co-wrote the script alongside Justin Moretto and Thomas Torrey. 7/10.

I can't understand the amazing reviews on this. I couldn't even finish this film. The plot was weak, horrible acting. It was as if we watching someone who was so bored by lockdown that they were trying anything to get through but for us the viewers it was irritating and boring.

I'm a screenwriter and this flick really stunned me. Totally original, compelling sci-fi from an Indy studio that focused on script and story, not CGI. Really impressive work. Finely drawn characters and grade A performances from the whole cast and the director, too. It's up there with PRIMER and INTACTO.

Hello scifi lovers, I saw this flick last night , I was curious mainly because de good reviews here, but couldn´t finish, I coud no make it though the first 30 minutes. It's so difficult to follow, everything is a mess though the director makes some ineffective attemps to clarify things. You will get mess up with the neuroscience jargon, the formulas, the whole context is so complex. If you are lucky you might grasp some of the thread of the story and try to follow it but it is so demanding intellectually thay eventually you get tired and bored. When a movie becomes causes the same degree of tension as a math exam then it is no entertainment, it becomes a torture labeled as art. minor premis, minor entertainment

It was a really interesting concept with the split personality angle but difficult to grasp the thread of what was happening for much of the film. This would have been fine if you were invested in the characters but they were hard to root for as their motivations just did not seem convincing. I didn't really believe in the protaganists passionate, single minded pursuit of "the work" nor his partner's total commitment to stick by him in the most extreme circumstances. A great example of how to execute this kind of story really well is Shane Carruth's 2004 film 'Primer' and although Minor Premise evoked some aspects of that film it was much less enjoyable, for me.
