This is a story of identity. Who we were and who we become after a life changing event. This story touched me on so many levels as a teen in the 80s and still presents itself as a good story.
However, as good as this Sci-Fi flick is, there is some twists in the story I didn't particularly enjoy. While the ending has a happily ever after feel to the story, but the ending felt forced and artificial.
I felt at odds with the whole independent Julia story-arc. It was never resolved. Julia is still dependent on Don loving her to feel 'normal' again. So much for the Doc's independence theory.
The romance between the Doctor and Julia is downplayed to nothing more than infatuation that sometimes occurs between Doctor and patient though this is the most interesting relationship of the entire plot. His reason for loving her is not included in the show which enhances the plot.
So if you like twisted sci-fi romances then yes, this one is for you.
