Brainstorm Ratings & Reviews

A cult classic. The effects are period, but this was back when movies had plot and acting.
Moviegoing with Bill
Bill Arceneaux
When combined with such vision and such application of large-format filmmaking, elevation occurs past popcorn thrills to memorable chills. It's some kind of masterpiece, rivaled only by the works of James Cameron (yes) and Terrence Malick (for sure).
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...an ambitious yet disastrously unfocused misfire from a thoroughly talented filmmaker.
Creative Loafing
Matt Brunson
This doomed effort fails to generate much excitement either visually or conceptually.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews

Outstanding special effects.

Steve Crum
Contrived mental bending looks dated.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The characters take such a secondary importance to the gadget that we never feel much for them.

A terrific sci-fi flick that features one of the best ending spectacle-sequences ever.
