Research scientists Louise Fletcher ("One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest") and Christopher Walken ("The Deer Hunter") invent a machine that can record sensory experiences only to have devastating results when Fletcher records her own death. Starring Oscar-winners Fletcher, Walken, Natalie Wood ("Splendor in the Grass," "West Side Story") and Cliff Robertson (TV's "Falcon Crest," "Charly") with dazzling visuals from special effects guru/director Douglas Trumbull ("2001: A Space Odyssey," "Close Encounters of the Third Kind").

This is without a doubt one of the better films ever made. I've watched this movie many times and I am still in awe of it. The concepts are so ripe for some kind of remake. I'm surprised someone like James Cameron hasn't uncovered this gem of a concept. Great movie, don't blink, just rent it. It's old yes, but the concept is exciting.

This was a movie way ahead of its time, if they did a remake of it could you imagine the advances of everything? I just hope they don't screw it up like they've been doing with other 80s remakes
