While "1984" is prescient, faithful to its novel and perfectly captures the feeling of helplessness in such type of regime, the film doesn't quite capture the character development and pacing of the novel that made it unputdownable.

Important film/story overall, but poorly executed here.

Stick to the book. (if it isn't banned in the future)

This movie is ipsis litteris with the book, what is always great, specially in a time like ours where every screenwriter that adapts a book think he can "spice things up", always for worst.

Excellent work and fantastic dedication to George Orwell masterpiece. Film can not never fully embrace frightening realism and pain of "1984", but with all limitations, it proved to be great.
Applaud to John Hurt and Richard Burton!

Well, the book may be iconic, idk, I nether read it. But the movie definetly isn't. There is no character development, no character background, no chracter anything. They could be replaced by potatoes and sticks and it wouldn't make aWell, the book may be iconic, idk, I nether read it. But the movie definetly isn't.

The whole movie in general becomes really tiresome real fast.
