It would be tough to make this movie much worse than this one. There is poor character development, so what happens to anybody doesn't much matter. George Segal basically plays himself. The editing is terrible with scenes that add nothing to the story. Others has mentioned that the story itself progresses at a snail's pace and that is very true. Even understanding that the state of technology in 1974 was pre-personal computer, the attempts at looking futuristic are laughable. In the end, the police execute the character played by George Segal. Just who authorized that and how is that even legal is apparently a besides-the-point.
So, the story is that even though we know next to nothing about the brain, electrodes are implanted in his brain to prevent seizures that would otherwise result in violence. If it had worked, there wouldn't be much of a story, would there? It's just another of many, many movies about dangerous research, medical procedures and technology run amok with their unintended but very predictable consequences - basic Frankenstein concepts. There's nothing new or worthwhile watching here unless you need to see what a terrible movie looks like with its awful plot, acting, editing, and pacing.
