Synopsis

Imaginaerum tells the story of an elderly composer, Tom, who suffers from severe dementia. As he has had the disease for years and has regressed into childhood, he remembers practically nothing from his adult life. His music, friends, all his past including the memory of his daughter are a blur in his fragile mind. All he has left is the imagination of a ten year old boy. As he drifts away into coma, it seems impossible to get back what he has lost. Or is it?

Armand splendid homage for life. must see for Nightwish band fans. and a splendid show. its root - a music album but the message, the poetry of images, the references to other movies, the delicacy of details, the trip of Tom to himself are good points for enjoy a complete show. a show about the past and about sacrifice, about music and about love. like a fairy tale , it is a way to discover basic values. and for understand in profound manner the world. a film about miracle. and beauty. about revelations and emotions. useful for a part of its public, interesting for others . but fascinating for the precision. a Nightwish film. as message. as show. as a kind of confession. see it !
Ruben Risso I've read a lot of fan-love and bitching about the movie. The thing is that I'm no movie expert, and I love it, 'cause the experts seem to think their subjectivity is really objective!The bad: Marianne Farley. Although the movie has little time to introduce the background story, she is keen on making it over-acted, poorly expressed. The good: Most people complain about the film being "a series of scenes that have nothing to do with the actual story". Well, there you have your first wrong, because the film needs to be watched with a creative eye rather than with a critic one. It's a story that invites you to assemble it, you have to really think about it, watch out for the references, mind the paths that make all these different promenades entwine. If few words, you have plenty of Hollywood to leave your brains at the door, not so with Imaginaerum, which complexity isn't just an excuse to present the soundtrack, but an invitation to an artist and a dreamer's mind, in which time and stories are build up with a different logic that in that one found in movies a hollywwodies.Nonetheless, the film has great effects for it's limited budget, it would have been great to give it another half an hour, just to let it stretch on its development.
Henrietta James This is a movie that falls far short of expectations. The premise is intriguing: an old man falls into a coma, during which he explores his own internal space in the persona of a young child. He's guided through this adventure by a character who's kind of a combination of Falcor and Jack Skellington. Danger lurks around every corner, and presumably his goal is to reach some sort of self-realization before he succumbs to his condition.The movie starts out with everything you'd expect from a psychological thriller, and the first few minutes are very promising. Then the band starts playing, and the movie reveals itself for what it is -- an extended music video promoting a semi-obscure European metal band.Yes, that's right. It's a music video. Maybe if I was a fan of the band Nightwish I would have been less disappointed. Unfortunately I'm not a fan, and the movie overall was a real letdown.
Arie Platkov It's achilles heel is that this movie is so unknown that I first encountered this film was by mistake, while i was just searching new 2013 trailers. this movie is definitely overcomes most of the movies from the years 2012\2013!This film is one of the most interesting films i've ever seen.The plot is really unexpected but if you pay enough attention for details you'll realize how the entire plot and all characters are fitted together despite that the scenes are pretty much scattered and not realistic. but it's how the people's imagination works, especially if a person has a Dementia.I'll definitely highly recommend my friend to watch it!I salute for the makes of the movie and who came up with the story.
