Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
passionrocks Movie has a sound backing with elements of emotions, thrill, spirituality, logic, reality & science. Climax deserves a special round of applause.
mayanair-18245 This is not a great movie. I can't even say that it's got its moments because it doesn't. I've felt this about Jeethu Joseph movies that the first half is more often than not a terrible drag. But it is forgivable in movies like Drishyam where the first part is used to strongly establish the lead character and the plot. It is also a pleasure when the movie takes a sudden turn from being nothing into a deep and dark thriller that makes you hold your breath till the very end. But Memories does not do that. It is clichéd and boring. Prithviraj tries to pull off the role of an efficient police officer who has been salvaged from his wrecked life by a senior officer who assigns him an intriguing case. The whole attempt to garner sympathy for the lead role who is trying to drink himself to death falls so flat on its face that the viewer is left a bit annoyed at the depressed protagonist. Prithviraj who usually does police officer roles with finesse (Ah, Mumbai Police!) is not believable as an irresponsible drunkard who can magically turn himself into a Sherlock Holmes-esque investigator with almost super human instincts and intelligence. After sitting through what seems like hours of the actor alternating between being an irresponsible brat and a brilliant policeman, the killer is revealed to be an absolute nobody - but oh, not without the abused clichés of a dark past and a physical handicap. Now the movie has to fill its viewers up on why he is an absolute psychopath. More characters and plot points are introduced and the end is a desperate attempt to sew all these up in one sensible piece without the viewer going crazy. The only take-away from the movies is the skill of shooting someone in a gasoline-filled room without blowing oneself up. Just watch that scene, skip the rest.
sohansurag Memories, is a noteworthy movie that comes from Jeethu Joseph who previously gave us the mediocre yet entertaining My Boss, Mummy & Me and Detective. It was quite unexpected for me that he's come up with a movie with such a gripping and entertaining plot. I mean I knew he had skills, evident from his other movies, but Memories turned out to be quite a welcome change from his recent flicks.Memories uncannily stands out among the recent hyped releases from Ranjith, Lal Jose and Samir Thahir, and with good reason. The lesser you know about Memories the better experience it'd be. Though in a nutshell, it's about a tragedy-stricken, alcoholic police officer named Sam Alex who's shoved into investigating a series of murder cases. The first half of the movie effectively portrays how much distress Sam was in and in the second act the narrative smoothly slides into the investigative mode.Its been marketed as a psychological thriller, it is definitely a thriller but hardly psychological (an exception being the main antagonist). The pacing was at its finest in Memories allocating equal time for character development and, in its second half, where it transitions into a good thriller. And among all that, there was barely a boring scene anywhere which keeps things intriguing. The second half was more akin to a true whodunnit mystery which keeps you guessing till its revelation in the finale.Despite the quasi-star-studded cast of the movie, the sole spotlight was on Prithviraj and he effortlessly handled his role of Alex. I wouldn't say its his best performance till date, thats still set aside to his performance as J C Daniel in Celluloid. Commendable performances from Vijayaraghavan, Suresh Krishna kept things flowing. Brownie points for the antagonist which I have no intention of revealing here. (Thank me! :P)Memories doesn't have the best cinematography or the finest score and the cg was silly and unnecessary but what it lacks there, it more than makes up for, in its intriguing narrative and direction. Its a promising thriller from director Jeethu Joseph which comes off as a plain thriller with no frills attached that never goes over-the-top neither does it fail to entertain you at any point. Watch this one at the big screen and before someone spoils it for you.
jayaraj47 I can say there is something big inside it. Jeethu Joseph made it good including some special animation sequences. But some point it felt ingenuity to some actions, the first one I felt is in the action sequences. Though Good background score (Title presentation), finished thread.You must concentrate on the dialogue flow and execution. From some people felt it awkward and its better to explain details in a variety manner in terms of detailing the findings by Sam; also nobody except a superior police officer knows nothing about an investigation and Aravindakshamenon IPS seems to be an idiot as a police officer at certain points. Hope you will concentrate of the physics laws while making up the fight sequences. ;) We expect more realistic scenarios. I really likes your presentation because no super hero activities. Just tried to told the story in a perfect way and you almost succeed it.This is a good one, really good one for the Malayalam Movie industry. Keep up and all the best.
