This is a very well made film with fascinating visual effects, top direction and quite a complicated story but you will get it fully once you have watched it a couple of times. Not to give anything away the film starts off really quickly and hooks you into the world of Dreamscape. There's plenty of plot twists to keep the story alive too. The CGI is very well executed and not too over used, this helps keep things believable.
The acting is impressive and the soundtrack is a huge factor of this film that really stands out, it helps keep the film rolling and helps move the action along with the catchy guitar beat. I just read in the trivia that the all the audio had to be dubbed after so hats off to that because that must have been tough doing all of the audio and you can't notice it either! I would give Dreamscape a full ten if it wasn't for one tiny con which was the film being in Black and White, in my opinion I don't think that suits a science fiction aspect of the movie and I would have loved to have seen some of those great visuals in colour. Apart from that this is a very solid production and has a great show of talent which really shows. The ending to thrillers isn't always satisfying and I have to say that this film really ended on the right note (not giving any spoilers). I here of an extended cut too and hope to see that one day.
9/10
