Magic Marmalade 8th Aug 2023		Rated 6/10 Yesterday's future of tomorrow.. today! At the time, it felt way off the map in terms of future predictions, as, having no existing tech that could make anything like this remotely possible (V.R. being a blisteringly new concept), and so, firmly in the fantastical, and therefore, nonsensical end of sci-fi - odd. And the visuals were at the still early stages of CGI (proper - not counting visual "effects" and simple block rendered graphics such as Tron), so the CGI animation has really badly dated now. However, the underlying story, written by Stephen King, holds up, probably even more as time goes by: Modern Techy equivalent of "mad scientist" type Pierce Brosnan, fumbles around the mind of local simpleton (And Lawnmower Man) Jeff Fahey' Jobe, as he navigates his brain in a virtual reality space, and jiggers, pokes, and prods with it through this method, in order to see if he can make Jobe smarter, by reconfiguring his noodle. He does. ...He regrets it. Though not a fan of such suggestions, this could probably do with a remake, bringing to bear all that has been learned since, technology wise, as well as in terms of brain science :) (Sorry for using such big wordy speakage from thew world of frowny thinkery!) Still has it's own charms, and points of interest, in spite of everything. *Another movie that would serve very well as a double header with this movie, of about the same time was one I recall with a young Russell Crowe, and Denzel Washington, called: Virtuosity.* ✔︎ Helpful Review?
