(DVD, MGM)
Scientists in a secret corporate lab discover a way to transmit and record thoughts. It starts out as a means of entertainment: riding a rollercoaster, hang gliding over the Grand Canyon, etc. One of them quickly discovers it's a good way to experience porn, but it has nasty side effects like leaving one in a catatonic state for a few days. The lead scientist has a heart attack in the office one day and somehow remembers to put on the headset and record her own death for others to experience. That tape becomes an object of an intense hunt by her boyfriend and fellow scientist Christopher Walken. We as an audience might also like to see what happens after she dies. However, the afterlife looks like a combination of Tron, 2001 and a painting in the Sistine Chapel.
