A thoughtful , original and clever Science fiction with little special effects dealing with a successful and sympathetic artist called Marc : Tom Hughes , but he is really an ill of cancer who chooses cryogenic freeze to wake up in a remote future , as he hopes to be thawed and go on his life. The painter Marc sadly says goodbye to the love of his life , Naomi : Olga Chaplin, but 68 years later he discovers many surprises due to things doesn't occur in the idyllic terms he dreamed earlier dying. Immortality is only a matter of time !
"Realive" is an intriguing and thought-provoking futuristic movie blending past , present and future, including a lot of flashbacks. In the film there is intense drama , philosophy , suspense , a long love story , but it results to be slow-moving and that's why is a bit boring and tiring , though the runtime is adjusted . This pessimist picture isn't an ordinary Sci-Fi , but an intelligent , brooding parable about immortality . It is a serious and cold Sci-Fi in the wake of "Code 46" or "Gattaca" . As the narrative could have been better , but the interpretation , filmmaking and compelling backdrop are all strong . It pays tribute to "Martin Scorsese's The Last temptation of Christ" with Willem Defoe in the emotive scenes when Lazarus is brought back to life . Mateo Gil direction is pretty acceptable , however , displaying some failures , inconsistent developing throughout this strange output , but he gives an usually nice bet it you want to attempt something different if not wholly successful . Performances are uniformly good , as Tom Hughes as the young who becomes the first risen cryonized body in the history mankind , the young Brit woman and Charles Chaplin's granddaughter , Oona Chaplin, as his intimate sweetheart , the French Charlotte Le Bon as the nurse who cares for him whenever he was sick or useless , Julio Perillan as Dr. Serra , Barry Ward as West , Bruno Sevilla , Melina Matthews and cameos from Tony Corvillo and Willem Defoe .
It contains an atmospheric and adequate ciinematography by Paul Esteve . As well as sensitive and stirring musical score by Lucas Vidal . The motion picture was well and decently written and directed by Mateo Gil , though it packs some flaws . Mateo is a notorious screenwriter , as he wrote various films for Alejandro Amenabar as "Agora" , "Mar Adentro", "Abre los Ojos" and "Tesis" . And he has directed a few films as the interesting thriller : "Nobody Knows Anybody" , the romantic comedy "The Laws of Thermodynamics" and a twilight Western : "Blackthorn" . The yarn will appeal to intelligent science fiction movies enthusiasts . Rating : 6/ 10 . Acceptable and passable . Well worth watching .
