Review of Brainstorm (1983) by Fabio C — 12 Sep 2007
Visual effects wiz Douglas Trumbull's Brainstorm is a very interesting sci-fi movie. Christopher Walken and Louise Fletcher star as two scientific researchers developing a system able to record and playback people memories.
When one of them starts using it for his own agenda, to reconcile with his estranged wife (the late Natalie Wood) everything goes out of control. Shot in three different aspect ratios, Brainstorm is a good sci-fi flick, whose plot starts to crumble when events in the movie are subject to the same fate.
The acting is generally good, as it's Douglas Trumbull's directing. It could have been better.
