Review

fairly slow, unfun film about a subject that really could have volumes written about it. mostly, it’s about the military’s foray into the psychic world. i’ve heard anecdotes about various programs that the military has tried at different times and none of it really surprises me. they’re always looking for some kind of edge and they’re so suspicious that any word that the russians have such and such a psychic device would cause them to get their panties in a bunch. the film addresses some of this and is funny at times, but is mostly hampered by how slow it is. it was originally a book and that makes more sense for the subject matter.
