This movie is an unassuming masterpiece and is so far ahead of its time. If you have seen Strange Days, the premise is basically the same... but this one came out first and is, in many respects, a better movie. I love both Strange Days and Brainstorm. Both are classics! The type of movies that never grow old or go out of date.
