Started off good with many interesting themes. It's a slow building horror but it's not bad. The movie turned into an average body horror movie near the end.

What happened to all those undeveloped themes. In the end some characters ended up being right about things they'd said in the past, and that's about it.

"Altered States" is a film that I really had to think about before I decided if I actually liked it. I was initially put off by the ever so smart scientists. All of their musings and soapbox speeches seemed entirely unnatural. Then again maybe I just hang around a lower IQ'ed crowd. Eddie and Em More
