movie review - Phenomenon
the journal of Michael Werneburg
twenty-eight years and a million words
Toronto, 1997.02.20
I was astounded. This movie had broad streaks of Hollywood crap running through it, but it certainly started much better than I'd expected. It's about a guy who witnesses a bright object coming down from the sky, and wakes up with *powers*. I suspect it's got something to do with Scientology, as the lead is played by John Travolta. But the plot runs aground somewhere in the middle and the whole becomes less than the sum of the parts. Too bad! That's hardly groundbreaking.
Not recommended.
