Brainstorm (Douglas Trumbull, 1983) torrent

"Legendary filmmaker and visual effects pioneer, Douglas Trumbull, was one of the Special Photographic Effects Supervisors for 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). He went on to become the Visual Effects Supervisor for such classics as Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), and Blade Runner (1982), each of which earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Visual Effects.

Mr. Trumbull directed Silent Running (1972), Brainstorm (1983), Back to the Future... The Ride (1991) and numerous other special format films.

He is the recipient of an Academy Award in the area of Scientific and Technical Achievement, as well as the International Monitor Award and American Society of Cinematographers' Lifetime Achievement Award for his outstanding contributions in the field of filmmaking. Douglas is currently involved in the evolution of visual effects using virtual digital sets and electronic cinematography."


"Brainstorm" is the second movie directed by Douglas Trumbull. It is one of the most sophisticated and rigorous "hard sci-fi" movies I've seen. It includes possibly the best special effects ever made without the use of digital computers, and cutting-edge concepts which have now become commonplace, such as computer-aided design, fully-automatic manufacturing and the Internet.


Plot (minor spoilers): a team of brilliant researchers develops the technology and equipment necessary to record and/or transfer all the sensory experiences of a man, to another. The technology is further refined to record emotions, thoughts and memories. One of the researchers has a heart attack while alone in the lab, and manages to start a recording wich captures her last experiences as she dies. Soon afterwards, the project is taken over by the military, for obvious applications (and quite sinister some of them), while the remaining chief scientist from the initial team frantically tries to play back his colleague's last recording, in order to take " a scientific look at the scariest thing a person ever has to face".



Enjoy and seed ;-)



disclaimer:

While this DVDR has been created and initially distributed by someone else, the download speed was 1KB/s (yes, one kilobyte per second) for the last 10%. So I decided to take matters into my own hands, and optimize this torrent for the fastest possible speeds.

Unfortunately I am limited by the ISP to 100 KB/s upload, therefore it is absolutely necessary to have other seeders along, in order to provide a pleasant ( not 1-2% per day) download experience to die-hard fans.

Therefore...encryption and DHT are mandatory for all peers. End of line.
