Summary: Excellent chemistry between stars makes for a great movie!!!
Review: Had to be one of the better "love stories" that I have seen since "Jerry MacGuire". Mira and Val had that on-screen chemistry that we all crave for in real life.....the opening massage scene was awesome. I totally recommend this movie to all the romantics out there.

Summary: It's just amazing!!!
Review: Did you like the movie, "Scent of Woman," featuring Al Pachino? To tell you the truth, I hadn't expected a better movie before I actually saw "At First Sight." After seeing this movie, I surprisingly perceived how well the movie could represent Val Kilmar's emotional conflicts that we never imagined. I believe Val Kilmar took his role almost perfectly. Eventually, if you haven't seen this movie, you should see! There are amazing points that we cannot feel or even think about in our normal lives! This movie may make you be more aware of the world for you!!!

Summary: Fascinating Story...but not written to the screen very well
Review: Featuring Van Kilmer, Mira Sorvino & Nathan Lane ("The Birdcage"). The movie is based on a true story, though it is not very clear at the beginning of the movie. While the story itself is fascinating, the writing and flow of the film is poor. It moves way too fast, even at 126 minutes. Virgil Adamson (Kilmer) plays a blind masseur who meets architect Amy Benic (Sorvino). The too quickly fall in love. Benic soon finds an experimental surgery to restore Adamson's sight. The specialist doctor is played by Bruce Davison ("Longtime Companion"). With his sight restored, Adamson must now adjust to life with sight, something he never knew having lost it at the age of 3. Nathan Lane plays a sight therapist enlisted to aide Adamson in learning how to function in a world with sight. We recommend the movie for those who may have enjoyed "Awakenings" with Robin Williams. Again, the writing is not of the same calibur, but the story line is most interesting. The ending is bitter-sweet.

Summary: Artistic Myopia Prevails in Disappointing Drama
Review: Irwin Winkler's AT FIRST SIGHT, ostensibly based upon a true story, begins promisingly as an affecting romance that soon takes a turn into sappy Hollywood "feel good" territory, which is a shame considering the caliber of the performances and the man in the director's seat. Mira Sorvino is quite wonderful as a woman who falls in love with a blind masseur, played with commendable plausibility by Val Kilmer. Kilmer has been blind since the age of one, and reluctantly agrees to undergo an operation at Sorvino's suggestion that may restore his sight. The big question is, will their romance weather the emotional storm ahead? Does the audience know? Does the audience care? Despite the film's nearly 130-minute running time, the story feels rushed. An hour should have been devoted to Sorvino and Kilmer's budding romance and allowing the audience to take emotional stock of their situation, with the second hour focusing on the complications that ensue following the operation. For a theatrical treatment, it all feels so "Movie-of-the-Weekish". Both Kilmer and Sorvino are accomplished performers, and quite frankly they deserved better. The biggest problem lies with the script. The characters are not three-dimensional, and everyone says what they mean (yeah, right - just like in reality), and if they don't someone else says it for them. Nothing is left up to the audience, it's merely presented to us. A story like this requires far more complexity and emotional depth. One gets the impression the film was rushed or taken away from the director during post-production. One can only wonder how this story would have fared under the cinematic microscopic scrutiny of Atom Egoyan.

Summary: A memorable portrait !
Review: Based on a real story , this film is real artistic triumph . I do not agree with many people and even critics who state this picture is a soap opera . It contains many dramatic issues that invite you to think .
How can we adapt to the real world inmersed in a dark world where the blindness imposses us its own roles ?
This medical repport works out as a perpetuum mobile through the film , it is supported by a good script and a special chemistry generated for Mira Sorvino (I love her) and Val Kilmer in a very credible role as the blind man .
The brief process in which he recovers the sight sense is a life lesson .
Irwin Winkler caught the insights , and the inner conflicts of any man in a situation like this .
Excellent photography and edition .
