If you can predict if

"Memory Rift" if you can predict if! An anti-program engineer, a story with a known ending. Struggling with time is always a double-edged sword, and setting it well will really make people shine. On the contrary, being trapped in the vicious circle of time logic will make the whole movie completely collapse. Although the completion of this film is not low, there are too many flaws in the overall plot setting. In particular, all the motives of the male protagonist's behavior are completed under the known future, but the first time he used the machine to predict the future, it was There is no crisis awareness, so that the starting point of the high concept will be biased, let alone the subsequent plot. Relatively similar types of "Minority Report" do better at this point. 5 points! ps: It turns out that Ben Affleck is not always facial paralysis!

    About predicting the future and clearing memory, the 20 things reserved are all useful in the future. If one does not fall, how many brain cells will it kill the screenwriter?

  • Wolfe: So, you're saying he sent himself a different set of personal items, ones he'd selected after using the machine, and nothing our security would flag.

    Jimmy Rethrick: Everyday things. Combined with the power of foresight, transform Michael from engineer to escape artist.

    [Rethrick looks at the continued computer virus signal and adds grimly:]

    Jimmy Rethrick: I don't know about you, but I'd like to return the favor.

  • [Michael is focusing on the Einstein stamps on the envelope of items]

    Rachel Porter: What?

    Michael Jennings: You know, when I checked this envelope out of Reddy Grant, they told me I signed in twenty items. But there were only nineteen.

    Rachel Porter: I don't understand.

    [He picks up a magnifying glass and examines the Einstein stamps. One of them has a strangely pixelated eye. The camera cuts to a laboratory in which Jennings is examining the stamps under a microscope while Rachel stands behind him. The pixels turn out to be Seattle newspaper headlines, such as "Machine Predicts Future" and "Stock Market Panic."]

    Rachel Porter: [frightened] What are these pictures of?
