The A.V. Club - Unnamed
As provocative as all this is, Trumbull keeps things grounded, interested to an almost baffling degree in the technical and logistical sides of this theoretical technology, as well as the emotional arcs of the humans creating it.

The New York Times - Janet Maslin
However adversely it must have affected the morale of those involved in making Brainstorm, the death of Natalie Wood hasn't damaged the film. Her performance feels complete. Playing a more mature character than she had done before, Miss Wood brought hints of a greater sturdiness and depth to this role, which is pivotal but relatively small.

Empire - William Thomas
Interesting but flawed.

Time Out - Unnamed
As a thriller it's a bit soft, as sci-fi it's a bit simple.

TV Guide Magazine - Unnamed
This could have been a wonderful film, but the makers fell in love with the hardware and forgot the humanity. BRAINSTORM is chockablock with special effects that sometimes obstruct rather than enhance the story.
