Very Cool!!!

Gripping story with well-crafted characters

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

A beautiful concept - poorly executed. The movie is filled with heart and love, but the visual story telling is at best, a mixed bag. The illustration of hell is overdone and somewhat cliche, personally I would have found it more interesting if they had made the mental aspect (even) more central. The ending is quite disappointing, as it really doesn't add much, besides of smelly cheese. However, the music is okay and the camera work is fine. The acting is quite good - and the redemption concept is well put together. Overall the film is fun watch, at least if you're hungover, or on a plane.

If there's one thing that What Dreams May Come has is a vivid imagination. Maybe some readings into Dante's Inferno might have given the writers some ideas as a start. But this goes way beyond.I remember years ago at a Science Fiction convention Peter Davison said that one nice thing about being the Doctor in Doctor Who was that you could create your character from scratch. Since we've got no reports on the afterlife one can the imagination soar in creating it. Soar it does and at times the creation threatens to overwhelm the cast, but it never does.Robin Williams doctor and Annabella Sciorra artist seen fated to be mated and are. They raise two children, but both are killed in a car crash devastating the parents both try to move on. Then Williams is killed in a car crash.At that point the film shifts to the afterlife as Williams starts to get used to the territory. Cuba Gooding appears as a kind of mentor/guide for him. The place looks like paradise, but paradise will not be complete without the family reunited.The afterlife does have its rules and Williams has to make quite the journey to accomplish his goal. Williams, Sciorra, and Gooding give impeccable performances and the sets are just breathtaking.If it isn't this is what heaven should be.

Probably the best movie out there now still to deal with the lies mass media spam everyone day after day in their seemingly eternal assault on truth, honor, higher love & self sacrifice.Since reincarnation is a rather simple basic fact of life, it was quite refreshing to revisit this decade old movie depictions of the lower astral regions where suiciders hang out and then those brilliant brightly colored higher causal planes & higher planes/heavens that St. Paul referenced in the 2nd Corinthian...'...caught up to the 3rd heaven" (since earth was hell back then during St. Paul's times) in this astonishing movie.Do see this romantic, but bogus 'soul mates' movie with your very favorite current lover if u want to really score something more permanent with him or her. Otherwise know 'soul mates' doesn't exist whatsoever in any reality, but great affinity/love certainly does eternally🎶💤

After he dies in a car crash, a man searches heaven and hell for his beloved wife. What Dreams May Come (1998) is a pretty cute film and definitely far better than critics made it sound like but i think it was a bit over dramatic than it should and i was really waiting for an actual tear jerking moment but it really didn't have any, the obvious green screen ruins the moments of the beautiful world and the whole part of Chris kids and friend changing bodies made no freaking sense but on the good side the acting is really good, the story is pretty sad to actually care and the entire world that they have created Heaven and Hell was something that was interesting enough to keep me interested and on board with the film. (7/10)
