Rating: Summary: magic Review: this is the most beautifully shot and written movie ever. the creativity displayed in this movie is spellbounding. how this movie did not get best picture is beyound me. Williams is at his very best.
Rating: Summary: Don't buy this one to test your new DVD Review: Okay, I knew the storyline was fantasy, the acting wasn't going to be winning any Oscars, but when I was sitting in the theatre I was entranced by the pioneering visual effects that will be the standard for many-a-movie to come. Couldn't wait to get it into the DVD. Oops. I didn't expect to be disappointed with a so-so video transfer and awful, let me say awful--that's awful--audio quality. Even though I've seen "A Bug's Life" a dozen times on DVD, I'm still awed by its crystal clear picture and booming audio to my six channels, On the other hand, the "Dreams..." audio highlight is the THX slate at the beginning of the movie. Kindof like the difference between James Earl Jones and Rosanna Rosanna Danna. The sound has to be cranked to the top fourth of my volume setting, and sounds like most of it is coming from center channel--very few memorable hits to the surround speakers and woofer. I know what you're saying--I've got it hooked up wrong. Nope. If you're going to get this one, get it on VHS.
Rating: Summary: How embarrassing for two wonderful actors! Review: I saw this movie in the theater when it first came out. I thought surely with Robin Williams it would be great. How wrong I was!!! This movie is soooooo weird! You'll feel like you've taken acid(along with the director) and wonder what in the world the director was thinking when he wrote it. Even if there was a story, there was so much strangeness that you can't pay attention to it.
Rating: Summary: Never bought it for a second Review: OK, let me get this straight--the afterlife is a sticky, icky mess of paint blobs; the heavenly city is a Fellini movie; and angels who take all kinds of confusing physical shapes say things like "When you do, you will." Huh? Oh, and hell looks like a collection of old "Waterworld" sets, with all those "Titanic" extras still floating in the water. Sorry, but this one missed the mark. When will Hollywood make a real film about real spirituality?
Rating: Summary: check out vincent ward's other movies Review: great dvd, loaded with extras-pity about most of the movie...a mawkish, almost embarrassing storyline saved only by director ward's imagination and visual flair.he's a great director and deserves better material than this.watch "vigil", "the navigator" and "map of the human heart", all available on vhs. all are brilliant. so what's next mr ward?
Rating: Summary: Crap script, amazing spectacle Review: This story is cliche ridden garbage. What saves this movie are the amazing visuals that manage to create this fantastic world. For that reason alone, it is worth a look. It takes you somewhere you've never been before.
Rating: Summary: Emotionally Uplifting... Review: If you are one who is true to your own heart... and see things for their possibilities in values... then you will LOVE this movie. The story line is so complex, yet simple after you understand it. For those people who think this movie hasn't any worth... keep on living in your structured & perfect world... But don't be surprised when the unknown is suddenly thrust upon you and you realize that there are many structures and perfections that you are clueless to understand!!
Rating: Summary: It portrays life, true reality, not always happiness Review: This movie wasn't meant too change our lives, but instead, wake us up to reality. We all have been curious about such issues at times. This is just one way of analizing our suspicions about life after death. I find it to be very insiteful and creative. Anybody in the mood for intelectual thinking should check this one out.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful Fantasy Review: I saw this movie on pay-for-view and absolutely cried....the characters give feeling and depth to what THEY are to portray....Biblically not accurate at all, but wonderful to behold and dream (and everyone wants to dream about heaven) make you fantasize and wonder what heaven IS all about... It is a crying movie, even for those of us that know the truth....
Rating: Summary: A story for a mature couple in a committed relationship. Review: A story that puts you into a state of contemplation at the beginning and never lets you go. It shows that if you really love the person you're with, you will go through anything to be with them forever. Many deep concepts of love, religion and the will to be accepted. It reminded me of all the reasons I love my wife and why I'll be with her forever. Sad movie, not for the immature.
