Film Critics, Age 13<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new movie <em>Cerebrum<\/em> 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, <em>Cerebrum<\/em> will keep your eyes glued to the screen until the end. For thought-provoking, mind-altering entertainment, this is the movie to watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HW1yRjk_l3g?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/cerebrum.a.jpg?resize=218%2C130&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7123\" width=\"218\" height=\"130\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Cerebrum<\/em> is about a man named Tom (Christian James) who returns to his father\u2019s 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\u2019s 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\u2019t remember. Working with Chloe (Alexxis Lemire), he has to uncover the truth before it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/cerebrum.horizontal.jpg?resize=225%2C126&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7124\" width=\"225\" height=\"126\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>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 <em>Cerebrum<\/em> takes place in a dark and messy lab. This creates tension and gives the movie an eerie feel. Along with the settings, the characters\u2019 wardrobe also matches the film\u2019s tone. Tom always wears dark colors that match his character\u2019s personality and the film\u2019s 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 <em>Cerebrum<\/em> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The message of <em>Cerebrum<\/em> 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. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Cerebrum<\/em> is a captivating film, especially for fans of science fiction. It\u2019s definitely unlike anything I\u2019ve ever seen before. I rate it 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 14 to 18, plus adults. <em>Cerebrum<\/em> releases to VOD May 4, 2021.
