Nodding to the movie's bleak mood, Burton bleakens himself; robbed of the pleasures of the grand, show-offy way he could use his voice, the mischievous twinkle of his eye, you feel cheated.

It's the linguistic cargo - the story of "Newspeak," the outlining of the censor's calling - that makes this tale still fearful.

Rating: 3/5 --
Solid version of the famous sci-fi novel. Big Brother again rules.

Rating: 3/4 --
The visuals capture the oppressive atmosphere of the novel even if the script can't quite convey the sheer horror (and chilling wordplay) whipped up by Orwell.

Rating: B+ --
Its accuracy goes hand-in-hand with its unobtrusive nature, perfectly creating the ordinariness of Orwell's dystopian nightmare in ways that unsettle you only in retrospect.

...Richard Burton's performance is remarkable....The real surprises and the genuine exercise of creative talent come with the design of the film, which is brilliant...

Product Description:
A fine and stunning screen adaptation of George Orwell's prophetic 1948 novel about a world in which the government completely controls the masses by controlling their thoughts, altering history and even changing the meaning of words to suit its needs. This was Richard Burton's final film.
