obviously forget today and and maybe that a problem . michael crichton dealt in practical science fiction . how a potential technology could really cause problem in the here and now . this movie hit on a few of them and some of which have come to pass . his premise be that computer could be use to simulate character ( already have happen ) and that they could be use to influence u by use algorithm to calculate our optimum response . ( again and probably happen now and even if we do not know about it . ) the plot be that a plastic surgeon be ask to alter four woman into perfect specimen and but three of them be kill after ward ( they never really explain why . ) in try to protect the last and whom he develop a personal bond with and he uncover a plot to use computer generate image ( wow and and now they be real . ) to manipulate our response . a note on nudity . we have susan dey of partridge family fame go topless in a couple of scene . we would never see that now . if we be lucky and we might see a name actress have her head cgi would ( ironic ) onto a body double . but usually and the mpaa would go completely nut and give the film an r or nc 17 rating . some thing be date and such a tape read computer and big hair on the woman so 1980 . but the film concept hold up pretty well .
