Review of Brainstorm (1983) by Eddie G — 19 Jan 2007

Absolute wonderful science fiction. This story is about two scientists(Christopher Walken and Louise Fletcher) that create mind-boggling invention that rushes forward the research on capabilities and practices of virtual reality.

A lot of word of mouth publicity on this being Natalie Wood's last motion picture and her rumored personal relationship with Walken. Somewhat disturbing story line, but intriguing and fascinating.

To be exact a second viewing makes the experience even better. Strap this one on and enjoy. Walken is mysterious and sullen as ever, that's what we like. Miss Wood seems more like decoration and that is really sad considering her outstanding career.

Fletcher as a chain smoking scientist is pretty clever.
