1983: Brainstorm

Ah, science fiction - it doesn't age well. This flick revolves around an invention by which people's expriences can be recorded on magnetic tape. On magnetic tape! This anachronism goes well with the general trashy early '80s look of the film, which is somewhat surprising coming from director Douglas Trumbull, the man responsible for the special effects of 2001 and Blade Runner. One character has a space-themed vision towards the end, and it doesn't look like the star gate sequence at all. As for the plot, well, there's the military getting interested, etc.

I can't say I recommend it, but I certainly liked it. (7)
