Movie:  Dreamscape

Nutshell summary:  Disappointing; a grade B move; ** out of ****

Long form review:  The acting is weak at points.  The script is poor and
the  cinematography   choppy.  Special  effects  are  adequate  but  not
exciting.  The plot is predictable,  and has  implausible  sequences and
ragged flow.  The theme is not very  original nor  creative.  They could
have done a lot more with the premise, especially the dream sequences.

Not a total  bomb,  but not what you might  hope for from the  trailers,
either.  See it if you have the time, money, and interest, but don't set
your  expectations  too  high.  Not  enough  fantasy   escapism.  Mildly
entertaining unless you are pretty critical.
