_**Slowly turning into a monster, aka slowly succumbing to age**_ An eccentric scientist living in a warehouse laboratory in a big city in the Northeast (Jeff Goldblum) discovers how to teleport objects, which draws the attention of a journalist (Geena Davis). Everything is going fine until he foolishly uses his invention on himself and a pesky fly inadvertently teleports with him. John Getz is on hand as the woman’s editor while Joy Boushel has a notable small role as Taw…
Nobody could ever call Jeff Goldbum a versatile actor, but here he is very much in his element as "Brundle". A madcap scientist, he dreams of being able to teleport things just like Willy Wonka does in 1971. He is almost as keen on journalist "Veronica" (Geena Davis) and so offers her exclusive access to follow and film his research. That all goes remarkably well - first a scarf, then more animated objects before, finally, himself. Snag is - well a fly just happened to sneak …
What was his electric bill and how did he not blow out every fuse in his building? Telepods must suck up a lot of juice. Anyway, it's fun.

But, you know, it's also mindless fun, it's not exactly deep, it's about science, and about the dangers of it, that never really manages to actually examine the d…
The Fly is so good. Successful futurism. Seems the Fallout games benefitted. The physical effects are amazing and fun. Do not watch if gore sensitive. Why not build a smaller machine first to test on...flies, instead of going straight to human-sized machines and testing on baboons? They gotta be expensive. Mice? The ridiculous nature of the film is a delight. The performances entertain while enhancing the story (narrative). That guy is such an amazing douchebag. The fi…
David Cronenberg’s The Fly is a grotesque, tragic, and strangely beautiful descent into body horror. What begins as a high-concept sci-fi romance slowly mutates much like its protagonist into something far more disturbing and unforgettable. One of my favorite movies!
