This is an absolutely brilliant movie that every should try to watch:



The movie tells the tale of a Quantum Physicist in the year 2092 who is of the age of 138. He is the last living mortal (everyone else has become immortal due to Telomeres regeneration) whom suffers from "memory degeneracy" and he tries to tell whom he is. Although as a child when given specific choices, he was incapable of deciding and we realize the uncertainty in specific decisions leads to distinctive paths in his life (like a Chaotic System). The movie uses concepts such as The Big Bang Theory, The Arrow of Time with association to Entropy, Superstring Theory and memory to establish certain ideas

Looks like too much of a love story :(
 


It isn't, that's just an emphasis of the different paths he can possibly take.

Did you get the year wrong? 2092 is only 82 years from now. If he's 138 in 2092, he's 56 years old now. We're nowhere near the point you state with telomeres. How did he live to 138?

WooHoo! Sign me up! (I'd be a youthful 134!)
 


Trailer shows him saying he was born February 9, 1975. He's 34.
 


Thanks, I'll be sure to watch it.
 
Oh, a kid has to make a choice to live with either his mother or father and the movie shows 3 possible outcomes of his choice, where he lives, the person he marries, etc... Supposedly not a bad movie, yes, it's a love story.

It starts when the boy is forced to make an impossible choice: to stay in England with his Dad (Rhys Ifans) or jump on a train and go to the U.S. with his mother (Natasha Little). This wrenching moment is rendered full of anguish by young Thomas Byrne, the first of the film's Nemo incarnations.

If he stays with his father, he ends up with the blonde Elise (Clare Stone as a teenager, Polley as an adult) and lives through a painful marriage to a wife afflicted with chronic depression. Out of love for her, he travels to Mars to scatter her ashes in a delightfully futuristic scene aboard a space wheel, where the passengers are put into hibernation until they reach their destination.
Had he leapt on the train to follow his mother, on the other hand, he would have fallen deeply in love with Anna (teen Juno Temple, adult Diane Kruger) in an intensely romantic story. Their underage love ends in tragically losing each other for years, until they find each other again as young adults.

A third, apparently negative possibility has Nemo choose to become rich instead of happy, and he pairs with Jeanne (Linh-Dan Pham) in a loveless marriage that ends in senseless tragedy.

Sorry, I meant 118.

It was pretty good, but IMO still had too much of a 'love story' for my liking.
