The Lathe of Heaven

Rating: Null/10 (26 July 2004)

This movie is highly derivative of a 1970's SF novel by Ursula K LeGuin, The Lathe of Heaven. The novel was made into a film in the late 70's and an inferior remake was made around 2002. Both are available on DVD.
Both TLoH and TBE deal with main characters with the ability to change history, each time with unintended consequences. The scale on which they attempt to "perfect" their world is different. While TBE focuses on individuals, TLoH's George Orr is forced by his psychiatrist to attempt to solve the world's problems (e.g in curing hunger he creates a plague that kills 5 billion people).
If you liked the ideas explored in TBE, try the Lathe of Heaven (try to get a hold of the earlier version)
