Rating: Summary: Effects on eyes nice, effects on mood horrible Review: You better be in a great mood to watch this movie. Otherwise you will be thrown into instant depression. I could barely watch this movie it was so depressing. I guess it makes you think but unless you want your mood to be brought WAY down dont watch this movie. The end does nothing to make it better either.
Rating: Summary: Mesmerizing and heartbreaking Review: This film is an easy target for cynics, but don't let their negative vibes cloud your feelings. if you are truly a romantic at heart, this film will get to you in a way unlike any other. This is a film that strives to attain something very rare in cinema: GRACE. And while nitpicking about various elements is inevitable, this film will haunt you and make you reconsider how you live your life. Filled with intimate, heartbreaking moments, real joy, and simply stunning effects, this was the overlooked best film of last year, and includes several scenes which can proudly take their place in the cinema pantheon of all-time great movie scenes. Watch out for the purple tree. The one sour note is the film's last scene. Thankfully, a far superior, far more gripping alternate ending is enclosed on the DVD, along with many other extras.Rich Kortz
Rating: Summary: For "Somewhere in Time" fans. Review: If you believe that heaven & hell are of your own making, this film is for you. If you think that Dr. Kevorkian can solve your problems, this film is not for you.
Rating: Summary: A visual cornacopia of the Heart and Soul. Review: This was indeed one of the best movies I have seen, period, dealing with all aspects of loss, love, and the journeys one travels to understand them. The cast spread their colors across the canvas...and danced a story where few have opened their minds to go. It left me settled, revived, and at peace with my own affirmations. Imagine being a child again...but with the knowledge of an elder...mixed well with sur realism...and smile. This is a must see for those that desire a soulfull search into that greatest of unknown masterpieces...the everafter.
Rating: Summary: I agree Review: I agree with the other people who gave this movie 1 star. This movie is boring. This movie is very boring. In fact, this movie is very very boring. I could not finish watching the movie because it was so boring. I wasted my money on it.
Rating: Summary: Such great frosting, you hardly notice the bland cake Review: I bought this movie strictly for the FX, so I was not expecting much... figured it would be a ho-hum, manipulative tear-jerker, and so it is. OK, OK, I shed a tear when the dog showed up in Heaven, what can I say... But those FX! As eye candy this movie rates higher than most anything since Fantasia. The FX are of a whole new order. They open up a new era of possibility in fantasy, horror, and SF film-making. I agree with the pro reviewer who didn't find any chemistry between the leads. I found these two "soul mates" pretty unconvincing, so that rather weakened the most basic premise. It's not that the leads were incompetent actors, they emoted like crazy and conveyed pain and grief and all that stuff; it's just that they did not as successfully emote a steady tenderness and intimacy -- nor was there sufficient backstory between their "meet cute" moment and their later (wow, so affluent!) domestic existence. Did they really have to be such yuppies? could this story not have been realized using more ordinary citizens? I really have mixed feelings about the "disguising" of characters in the post-mortal world. The director may be trying to make a "profound" statement about people's external appearances being irrelevant to the real person inside -- OK, I'll give them some benefit of the doubt. But on the other hand, there's something unpleasant about a cine-world in which the only non-white people turn out to be just masks for the protagonist's whitebread teenage kids. Good intentions or no, I didn't care for that touch. I'm sure I will watch it again, just to wallow in all that lush visual beauty. I may even sniffle a bit over the dog the 2nd time around. But fundamentally folks, this is Disney fare dressed up in a marvelous coat of many colours. The beautiful plumage distracts us from the triteness of the story, the shallowness of the character development, and the uneven writing. Imagine, just imagine, if all that technical wizardry had been wedded to a first-rate script, something with the power and grace, of, say, The Lion in Winter... or a full-BBC-cast version of the Screwtape Letters.... dream on...
