Insanely bizarre, Radio Free Albemuth is a sci-fi thriller based on a Philip K. Dick novel. The story follows a music producer who believes that he’s receiving visions from an omnipotent entity which he calls VALIS; meanwhile America rapidly transforms into a fascist state that cracks down on subversives. The plot goes to some unbelievably strange places with aliens and alternative dimensions. And, the script doesn’t do anything to make it seem any less weird than it sounds. Additionally, the acting and production values are incredibly bad, and do a poor job of bringing any believability to this mess. Yet there’s something innately fascinating about the story and how it goes to new levels of crazy as it progresses. Though it’s pretty far-out, Radio Free Albemuth provides a thought-provoking exploration of timely philosophical and political issues.
