Non-spoiler review of _Dreamscape_, by the numbers:

1) I think Parapsychology is a joke.

2) I despise films about Psychics kidnapped by the government for
evil purposes.

3) The music was too obtrusive.

4) But I liked this film anyway.

Mostly because the protagonist, Alex, is a likeable guy, and
while the plot is standard the execution is excellent.  No stupid
endings with people spinning around and fountains of blood
spraying in every direction in this film, folks!  Alex's powers
are much more subtle than that.

I might rate this film with the third quarter of Twilight Zone-
The Movie for most unsettling ending.  And George Wendt (from
Cheers) is marvelous as a ...but that would be spoiling it.

On my scale, a should-see.  (By the way, my recommendations
assume you like to see movies and your only cost in doing so is
five bucks and two hours.  If you only see one movie a year, or
have to hire babysitters/ drive to the city/take the kids along,
adjust accordingly.  Thank you.)

Speaking of kids, this movie deserves its PG-13 rating.
Especially don't take anyone whose dreams are influenced by
movies.
