"Remember Me" takes place in the summer of 2001. New York college student Tyler (Pattinson) is still feeling lost from the tragedy that has strained his relationship with his father (Brosnan), when he meets Ally (de Ravin), a girl who understands his pain. The last thing Tyler's looking for is love, but through their passionate relationship, he finds new possibilities for happiness. (Gary Reber)

Special features include commentary with Director Allen Coulter, commentary with cast, a making-of featurette (HD 14:31), and up-front previews.

The 1080p AVC digitally-shot picture exhibits a natural character, but at times with a slightly "heavy" saturated tone. This is particularly evident in interior scenes with a dark shadow balance. Still blacks are deep and solid. Fleshtones appear perfectly natural throughout. Resolution is generally revealing, especially during close-ups of facial features and object textures. Yet the picture generally projects a warm, soft appearance. Overall, this is a "weighty" picture, favoring a natural character, and generally pleasing visually. (Gary Reber)

The DTS-HD Master Audio™ 5.1-channel soundtrack is conventional with production and ADR dialogue that is poorly integrated spatially. The dialogue also sounds strident at times and very forward and loud. The soundtrack focus is frontal, with subtle surround ambiance in some scenes. The music score also tends to focus in the center channel, though, the recording is definitely stereo and expands aggressively into the surrounds. This is an unremarkable soundtrack, particularly spoiled by a loud and unnaturally forward-sounding dialogue track. (Gary Reber)
