Michael Brace (Christopher Walken) and Lillian Reynolds (Louise Fletcher) develop a device that allows a person to experience another persons experiences. With this headwear, one individual can experience the touch, taste, smell, sight, hearing, and even feelings of another. A person can even record their experiences for someone else to experience later.
The uses of a device like this are limitless. It can be used for sexual experiences, recreational experiences, you name it. The problem is that this device and its uses didn't excite me. The movie hinged on this device and the struggle over its uses and it didn't excite me one bit.
Furthermore, there were inconsistencies with it. As I said, one person can record his/her experiences for another to enjoy or suffer, depending upon the experience. Obviously, this is a first person experience, yet they'd be shown in first person sometimes and third person other times. It can be considered a small technicality but it drove me crazy.
Ultimately, I think all the drama and hubbub of the movie was much ado about nothing.
