      Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Though it shifts its focus into something much darker towards the end, the meat of it is in the father-son relationship, in their interactions and the ways that they observe each other. Rated: 4/5 Aug 31, 2022 Full Review Roger Moore Movie Nation Long review short, "Cerebrum" isn't much fun to sit through and isn't smart enough to compensate for that. Rated: 1/4 May 3, 2021 Full Review Joel Fisher Battle Royale With Cheese Audiences may be thinking why the movie could not have been done more simply. Apr 29, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

      bryan b Cross between Altered Carbon and the 6th day. Grounded scifi. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The synopsis really intrigued me. My husband & I thought this movie was great fun! I think the story was very creative & well thought out. I thought the movie was going to go in one direction, but I didn't predict how it would actually unfold. We were still talking about it the next day. Sci-fi fix, check. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member This is very much a film about technology but at the heart of it, it's a touching story about a family being able to love each other again. It was an interesting story and I really enjoyed it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review ranny l 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 accuse Tom of committing the crime, he still perseveres to uncover what really happened and eventually, others learned 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. Cerebrum releases to VOD May 4, 2021. Make sure you check it out! Reviewed by Maica N., KIDS FIRST!
