I originally saw this movie maybe two or three months ago. This has happened to me before. It's weird because once I realize I have seen it before I try to think ahead as to what is going to happen in the movie but it's like I never saw it before. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

your title question what is this....
what would it be for you i cant answer that, no one but you and your own treatment providers can say what this is with in you.....
in general....
for some people its just how their brains normally work. some people have good short term and long term memory recall and others dont.
some people have good/great short term memory recall and others may have bad short term but good/great long term
I know someone who can tell you what happened in every single movie they saw but can not tell you what numbers you just told them.
and vice versa I know people who can tell you in great detail what happened with in minutes ago but can not recall in excerpts from books, movies, tv shows....
the brain is an amazing thing and never works the same way for everyone as in how much and of what is stored and for how long.
with in me I have this happen all the time where I can recall some things and not others and sometimes only recall something as Im doing it. my own treatment providers call this kind of memory problem in me a medication side effect. Im on some meds that affect my short term and long term memory process.
I also have MS (multiple Sclerosis) which is a neurological / physical problem that affects many aspects of a person including memory gaps/memory recall problems.
I also get this as part of my bipolar disorder. when im in mania phase my brain works so fast that it cant store everything in the correct order so sometimes I get delayed recall where it takes something like actually reading the book or watching a movie before that memory is jogged and active.
again only you and your own treatment providers can say what the problem is with in you, which can be normal or any number of things.
