That comment about Natalie Wood was a bit harsh.
Back to Brainstorm...
You know, now that you mention it, I didn't really care for Strange Days either. It's one of those movies when you ask someone if it's worth watching the ONLY thing they can think of to recommend it is that someone shows her tatas. Not that I have anything against actresses showing their tatas (in fact I think that's what's missing in movies today, not enough tatas) but when that's the ONLY reason someone gives you to watch a movie that's not explicitly a softcore T&A flick or porno one does wonder how bad said movie must be.
However, storywise, Strange Days was probably more interesting than Brainstorm. The latter is really a Twilight Zone episode padded out to feature length. But if not for that gimmick of switching aspect ratios so the screen goes from this little box with a picture in a field of black to FULL widescreen (with just black bars top and bottom) I'd probably have enjoyed Brainstorm a lot more. Sometimes a gimmick ruins a movie.
