I have to go against the grain here and give this movie the thumbs down. The special effects were cheesy even for the time, especially the ones that looked like they came from an even lower-budget version of the 60s sci-fi TV series, "The Time Tunnel." The science-fictional plot of someone with effective dreams is truly absurd. Even as a fantasy theme it just doesn't get off the ground. The movie isn't helped by some weak dialog writing although the backdrop of an overpopulated world suffering from unpredictable and severe weather changes makes for a somewhat interesting and appropriately bleak and dark future.I give the film 3 stars, although it really deserves 2, just because I hate giving anything connected with Le Guin such a low rating.On a personal note, I knew Le Guin's brother, Ted Kroeber, who was my statistics prof in college, and Ted was really a pretty cool prof. (I had to throw that in--since I'm dissing his famous sister's book/movie). :-)
