When the thumbnail for DEEMO Memorial Keys came across my YouTube feed, I remembered that a friend of mine enjoys the game. Assuming the film would be of similar quality, I decided to give it a watch. DEEMO Memorial Keys succeeded in its job of making me want to play the game, yet didn’t captivate me as a piece of cinema (and I assume it was designed to be a commercial first and story second).
I was hoping for something entertainingly bad. Freddie as F.R.O.7 is just… bad with only a few entertaining moments. No stars for this movie. For shame.
However, I do think I will enjoy talking about its existence, which is at least something.
Me: this movie is endearing but missing something
The Ending: [happens]
Me: OOHH it was leading up to - FUC
(AKA: The Illusionist is endearing and tragic. It’s a slow burn with a heavily impactful ending.)
