Easter Stream Binge #1

Happy Easter to all. I decided this would be a good day to watch a bunch of movies on the variety of streaming services that I have. The first film in this binge was rented off Fandango at Home (Vudu) and it was entitled Redux Redux.

The film is a sci-fi/revenge flick dealing with the multiverse. The multiverse has been used quite often in films lately, in both Marvel and DC, as well as other independent movies.

According to IMDB, “Irene Kelly travels through parallel universes, repeatedly killing her daughter’s murderer. As she becomes consumed by vengeance, her humanity hangs in the balance.“

The film does a decent job of starting off with with the bizarre nature of the situation being good enough to be introduced, allowing the audience to question what was going on. Then, it does a solid job of explaining the situation so you can understand it.

Michaela McManus played Irene and she does a great job of portraying the sadness surrounding the character and the anger directed at Jeremy Holm, who played her daughter’s murderer, Neville.

Another important factor is the relationship between Irene and Mia, played by Stella Marcus. Mia was a girl abducted by Neville that Irene rescued. The pair of women had to look to each other to fill the gaps that were in their lives. The story was constructed around grief and loss, finding the way that you can get through the pain.

I enjoyed the film. It nicely blends the sci-fi elements in with the revenge aspects. It is satisfying and cathartic.
