An imaginative sci-fi thriller, even though the effects don't hold up today.

Most movies that try to crowd so much into an hour and a half end up looking like a shopping list, but Dreamscape works, maybe because it has a sense of humor.

A perfect pick if you've got a flick-addicted 14-year-old boy at home, and a fun genre flick for the whole family, Dreamscape is a little bit scary, a little bit smart, and a whole lotta B-movie fun.

Mostly maladroit, without the kind of high gloss or confidence that might help carry its audience along.
