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. Alan Silverstein, Hewlett-Packard Fort Collins Systems Division, Colorado {ihnp4 | hplabs}!hpfcla!ajs, 303-226-3800 x3053, N 40 31'31" W 105 00'43"
