Review of Brainstorm (1983) by Clayton D — 31 Aug 2013

I never had seen this one. Watched it last night....and I reallthing it was far beyond its years. The subject matter is very heady, but its pretty well done, and features the beautiful FX work of Douglas Trumball.

(whom also directed it). It is a subject that has been taped into dozens of times since, but this was (from an early 80's perception) pretty radical. The "brainscan" sequences are presented in ultra wide fisheyed POV format.

..and are super fun to watch. I may want to get a blue ray of this...The acting is so so...but certainly not too distracting.
