Review title: Remastered ruined a good movie
Product review: I remember seeing Brainstorm in the theaters and loved it. The VHS was OK, and the first DVD was an OK transfer as well. Then again, the TV I was watching it on was a knob-tuner 19". Again I enjoyed the movie though the heart attack/death scene gave my ex some bad nightmares. Now I have a 50" plasma and wanted a better DVD. This one looked promising but failed. Hopefully they'll bring out a blu-ray and just leave the original movie alone. As some have mentioned, not the greatest of acting but a good story and great effects (remember it was done in 1983).What I can't understand is why they stripped out scenes for this "remastered" version. The sound is improved but they had no need of removing anything. Not as bad as what happened with the 'Director's Cut of 'Bladerunner', but nearly so. I'm almost sorry I trashed my VHS.
