[net.movies] Brainstorm, no spoiler

NBarbieri.es@PARC-MAXC.ARPA (10/11/83)

Good one for you sci-fi/fantasy fans.  I found it not to be as
overpowering as some other techno flicks, although it could have been
developed a lot further in some cases.  Very interesting 70mm
photography, which almost gives the illusion of 3D, but without the
typical 3D movie plot.  Caution to you with delicate inner ear balances
(of which I am one, but it wasn't all that bad).  Unlike most sci-fi
movies of recent, it deals with inner-space, as opposed to outer
space-hence the name.

I says go check it out.

A 7 on the sci-fi scale.

I am not really a sci-fi/fantasy fan and so probably cannot give this
movie the merit it might deserve under the category.

Even though I agree with Nick's opinion on the interesting 70mm
photography, I found the plot to be pointless and dull.  Regardless of
the reasons the film may have for being underdeveloped, this movie seems
to drag on an objective the viewer could care less about.  The movie was
probably meant to be hyped up for suspense and a little of adventure,
none of which come across well at all.

If you like to see a movie for its interesting film effects then "check
it out", otherwise don't bother.

A 2 on the general, entertaining movie scale.

I would like to see what happens when you hook one person up to 
the recording device from Brainstorm, another up to the receiving
device, and...

Give the first person a lobotomy!

Would the second person have "Brain Drop Soup" or a bad headache, or
would he just collapse?
