Mediocre sci-fi
Nick Orleans has not released a new video in the four years since Adam & Eve issued his "Perception", a movie that sunk with hardly a trace. Hopefully it doesn't mark the end of his lengthy career.
Krissy Lynn plays a scientist working on a government project developing a new machine called Memory Recall. No, it's not a riff on that Arnold Schwarzenegger classic, but instead a meditative look at how folks' memories of the same event differ. Krissy and her lovely blonde assistant Aspen Romanoff use test subject couples, with sex memories mainly what they watch on a screen after one partner dons a headset.
This concept is okay, but Orleans fails to do anything interesting with it. Most of the sex footage is not derived from the memories, but merely conventional sex at home or at the office. And surprisingly we never see the incident repeated from the man and woman's differing memories one after the other, making the story premise pointless. I guess Nick never saw Kurosawa's classic movie "Rashomon", the template for all movies which visually depict conflicting points-of-view.
Several of the cast members give dull, almost blank performances, actually seeming totally uncomfortable with dialogue -taking a "just tell me when to f*ck" attitude. That includes Tony Martinez, Dylan Snow and newcomer Avery Stone -Avery paired with Tyler Nixon as a bickering couple. Best scene is completely extraneous XXX at the end of the movie: Krissy having lesbian sex with assistant Aspen after each of them has watched a tape of the other masturbating at work.
