Summary: You will come out wondering were are the color went
Review: After seeing this movie, I was dissapointed to see the drabbness of the real world. The colors are so bright and exciting. This movie is fabulous. Kindda sad though (at times)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: breath taking
Review: i think that the people who gave bad comments(one star) have no real appreatiation of the beauty of such a movie. Sometimes it is wise to step out of your business, money making world and smell the roses. This movie offers a wonderfull veiw of something we can't see but is still there. god gives us heaven.......you won't want to be stuck in the ground all your life being stepped on, now would you????????

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Heart-wretching
Review: I absolutely couldn't wait to see this portrait of life after death. This is a subject that has been particularly intriguing to me since the death of my daughter in 1995. I loved this movie, it is much deeper than the surface shows. I feel sorry for those reviewers who found it boring and uninteresting. We will all be there one day!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: excellent view of religion
Review: I have never found a more concise, accurate view of what I believe to be true about life/life after death. I say this having talked to many people (my clients) about their near-death experiences and such people as Dannion Brinkley. An excellent film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Incredible
Review: "What Dreams May Come" is an amazing film. It didn't do well with the critics, but it seems clear to me that those who disliked the film have never found someone to share a relationship similar to that of Chris and Annie. The storyline is not unrealistic---indeed, I have never identified with a film so closely in my life.

See this film. It's truly one of the most powerful films ever made. If you're a skeptic, listen to what this film says about love. It's all true. If you've found your soulmate, see this film with them. It's a wonderful experience.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Cheap sentimentality
Review: The special effects in this movie are great but stripping that away you are left with very little. After 20 minutes I ceased to give a damn about the fate of any of the characters.To make up for the poorness of the dialogue and storyline the director takes a few cheap tugs at the heartstrings. Conclusion: You'll want to throw things at your TV

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Film for specific tastes
Review: Vincent Ward, I've discovered is the only director who can actually pull me into a romance movie. This and Map of the Human Heart actually get me on a pretty primal level.

This film is an odd bird though, lots of people don't like it, claiming its too sappy and that lots of it just doesn't work. Ironically many of these same folks actually like Ghost, go figure.

Anyway, the film is very pretty unforgiving I guess, in that you simply have to accept a certain package of ideas and relationships, and the film doesn't really reach out to help the audience do so. Storywise its Orphius in the Underworld, but that part of the story really is only the final act.

It is a BEAUTIFUL film though and it makes an interesting trilogy with Ghost, and Somewhere in Time.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: ART and movie satire reign
Review: Scenery and effects are worth the view. When our daughter was four, we visited Italy, including a museum in Napoli which had a small room full of one vast Nativity Scene which included everybody and everything, entire village and then some. Our daughter sat on her father's shoulders and, as she entered this room, she cried "Oh! It's the whole world!". That delight mirrors mine in seeing these wonderful effects. In addition, it tickled me to find Max Von Sydow, THE (Ingmar)Bergman actor, leading Chris to a Bergman "hell" of black and white. It's a great "in" joke and everyone should NOW see Bergman's films! Williams can never resist a one-line throw-away and his play on " a sea of faces" is irresistable. As well, it's refreshing to consider "beliefs" from others' points of view, maybe causing us to ponder our own. To some,the story-line may not be "gripping", but the view is wonderful and worth it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Schmaltz-a-thon
Review: Confused, schmaltzy, ersatz tearjerker. Manages to make heaven look a lot like a bad acid trip. Even my wife didn't like it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Movie Is Better Than The Book
Review: After seeing the film, I decided to read the book. The book is filled with lots and lots of mechanical details while the film is a tour of the feelings of the soul. Okay, this is one person's view of what the afterlife might be like.

The visual effects are stunning. The story line (again much more coherent than the book) can capture your immagination and lift your spirit.

As videos are the "books" of the next millenium I'm keeping this on in my library for those days when I need that lift to sagging spirits.
