Weird Science

I first watched this in 1985 on VHS as a 13 year old, so a lot of the sentiment was lost on me then. Having watching it again as a 50 year old after finding it on the BBC iplayer I decided to give it another go. I have to say that it was way more enjoyable now. It really brought back the feeling of being an awkward teenager and the fantasy of being guided through adolescence. There were a few quirks with the story but this can be overlooked by how the sensitivity of being an awkward teenager can be is portrayed. I do think the bones of the story could be updated for a remake that could possibly make more sense but still be a fun movie.
