Review of Altered States (1980) by Lauren D — 11 Dec 2008

Ok, must say there was some extraordinary trip out scenes, and Hurts' performance was really good. Maybe I should have seen this film at an earlier time.... but why did I think upon seeing this, that it took Hurts' character to touch the face of eternity/ God .

.. practically blow himself and everyone in the room up... in order for him to say "I Love you" at the end, to his wife. I laughed then. Being a scientist, one needs to get these things documented, but he certainly was willing to alter his very genetics even after turning into an early ape, kill a goat and come back as a human.

.. and try it again! What a knob.
