I think one of the things I like about movies about death is no one can make a compelling argument that the movie is unrealistic. The advantage of not knowing what lies beyond life is that it is fertile ground for the imagination. I just took in "What ...

Pros: Stunning visuals, and a good testament to the power of love. (Remember the Orpheus myth.)
Cons: Mork (aka Robin Williams) trying to be taken seriously once again. Movie drags also.

I watched this movie on video for two reasons: one, I'd heard the visual effects were stunning (they were), and, two, I was curious to see how Hollywood handles a serious subject like the afterlife. I watched it in spite of, not because of, Robin ...

Pros: Interesting dreamscapes, Williams and Gooding Jr. do well in their roles.
Cons: Jumps from present to past, sometimes hard to follow.

"What Dreams May Come" is what my husband would refer to as an artsy-fartsy flick. There are no car chases, no shootouts, no alien invasions or quality kills. The plot moves along slowly, with scenes that quite deliberately play on your emotions and tug ...

Pros: Williams, Gooding, Sciorra
Cons: Not even close..

Curious as to what women really want? Easy. Go grab What Dreams May Come. If you're male, I'm sure you still need a clue as to what went on here, so I'll be happy to oblige in this little life lesson... From birth, we women dream of the man who ...

What Dreams May Come SUE'S PRE-RAMBLE What Dreams May Come is a movie that my Teen Genius rented at Hollywood Video to watch with his girlfriend 1500 miles away! They both put in the movie and then chatted online about it ...

Pros: Emotional, thought-provoking, and well-acted.
Cons: Sometimes a little too gooey.

Richard Mattheson has always been known for his deeply touching masterpieces (or so I'm told, as a number of his books are now out of print). If the movie version of his novel "What Dreams May Come" is anything like the book -- and from a historical...

Cons: The ending was not what was expected that was a let down.

This movie, based upon a true and special relationship between husband and wife, "soul mates "First, the two children they have, die in a car crash. That was extremely difficult for the couple. Than, to top it off, Robin Williams, the husband, is killed...

I had seen What Dreams May Come once long ago when I had a flu and was sick in bed. I like Robin Williams, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Annabella Sciorra, so I decided that the illness had affected my perceptions. My original perceptions were that this...

Cons: Somewhat confusing sometimes. Occasionally hard to follow for first time viewers.

The movie (What Dreams May Come) starts out as many other movies do, typical sets, normal characters...but as the movie goes on it delves into a virtual greenhouse of colors, effects, and emotions. For any person who wonders about life after death and...

Cons: Generic religion, occasionally awkward flashbacks

In "What Dreams May Come," Robin Williams gives one of his best latter-day performances as Chris Nielsen, a doctor (Doesn't it seem like he plays an awful lot of doctors and lawyers?) who dies in a car crash. After he's gone, Chris leaves his soul mate...

Pros: Some of the best Eye-Candy (visual effects I have seen without drug induced hysteria
Cons: Robin Williams plays another Doctor

This is not the average film by any standard. Even if you’re not a Robin Williams fan, What Dreams May Come will stimulate your eyes if not your heart. The Academy Award winning visual effects are phenomenal. Yes, this movie is a...
