Review

In the early eighties there came a film that was like no other. It was a fairly good film with some great special effects. Dreamscape was its name. Let’s take a journey into the world of Alex. Sit down, relax but whatever you do, Don’t fall asleep...

What are dreams or nightmares? Are they a part of our psyche? If they are, can they be controlled? If they can, then let’s pretend that a man, with a little help from science, could psychically project himself inside the mind of another man. This is Dreamscape...

Alex is a gambling, womanizing man with a gift. His gift is being a psychic. Now an ex-colleague wants him to participate in a new experiment, where Alex must project himself into the dreams of other participants. But as always there are bigger issues at hand. It seems the government funded the experiments and Bob Blair, the most powerful man in the government, has a sinister plan for those who pass the test.

The test...

The president is having nightmares. He is dreaming about the world after a nuclear holocaust. So he takes steps to disarm the country, thus ending the Cold War. This is not taken well by Bob Blair and his cronies. They want him dead, but an assassination would be too messy. The only way is to have him treated (Killed) by the dream specialists.

Now Alex, being the good guy, must use his gift to help the President. But his major obstacle is Bob’s right hand man, Tommy. He is an egotistical, murdering, psychic, who will use every card in his hand to bring down Alex. Maybe even Alex’s worst nightmare.

Will our Hero save the President, or will the President die in his sleep?

I guess you will have to watch the film, won’t you... ;))

Verdict

When I was younger this was one of my favorite films. Any time it came on HBO I would sit down and watch it again. This movie touched me, it became a sort of obsession. So now I own it. It had old style special effects, the good kind before all the computers took over. If you have watched it you know what I mean. If you haven’t, I would suggest that, if you enjoy 80’s movies, you rent it...You won’t be sorry.

Great plot, good actors.
Kind of dated... like the whole Cold War thing.
