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

...A standout performance by Richard Burton in his theatrical swansong....Also strong is newcomer Suzanna Hamilton...
Variety
John Hurt is perfect....The revelation is Richard Burton...
Uncut
Like the book, 1984 understands that forgetting these lessons puts us a step closer to the unthinkable.

Cinema-stache
You couldn't ask for a better Winston Smith than Hurt....You couldn't ask for a more faithful and effective adaptation of the George Orwell classic, either.
Premiere
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.

Film Frenzy
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.

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.
