What Dreams May Come

Pros: Beautiful! A remarkable movie about life and death.
Cons: I wish it could have lasted forever

What Dreams May Come may be one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. With references to the best writers and artists of all time, as Shakespeare, Dante, Van Gogh, Bosch, Dali and Monet, this movie is a jewel to the eyes. The representation of...

Pros: Wonderful, Thought Provoking
Cons: none

As I watched What Dreams May Come, I was absolutely fascinated at the way that it portraited death and the afterlife. Though heaven and hell are a large part of the story line, it doesn't push the religious aspects of death on the viewer. In my eyes,...

Pros: special effects, story line, acting
Cons: sappy

A couple of years ago, I was watching a movie and saw the trailer for "What Dreams May Come." Immediately, I knew I had to see this movie. The graphics alone incited me to see this film and it did look like a good story. Luckily, when this...

Pros: It'll break your heart.
Cons: Most of the people who reviewed it in the corporate press

First of all, this movie came from a novel by Richard Matheson, and his son Richard Christian Matheson. On top of being a powerhouse in the field of horror fiction, this father-and-son team is responsible for episodes of the old AND new "Twilight...

Pros: You'll know them when you see it....
Cons: One of the most intense I've ever watched

I've seen this movie six times now - nine times, having added three more viewings since I originally wrote this review. Each time I see it I have to allow time to establish distance between the film and the emotions it stirs within my mind and heart. ...

Pros: Beautifully done, well produced. Outstanding acting. Details to everything.
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...

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...

Pros: beautiful eye candy
Cons: I'd have to dig deep for negativity

Excellent movie. Don't let the fact of it being based on a morbid subject stop you from seeing it. The special effects are amazing and it gets your wondering about the type of things which happen after death (if you believe in such). A lot of thought...

Pros: Haunting, spectacular artistic effects
Cons: Some really scary parts

I first watched this movie while I was on board a bumpy Air Canada flight en route for L.A. from Toronto, Canada. As the film progressed, I wondered however, why the flight crew chose to show this film on the plane. If they were showing this kind of...

Pros: Great effects, wonderful characters
Cons: May be too emotional

What a movie! I've been aught saying before that Robin Williams has had relatively few dramatic roles, but lately, many of his movies have been dramas. Chris Nielsen is a man who suffers great tragedies in his life. He is a selfless giver, and will be...

Pros: a Visual Masterpiece!!!!!
Cons: Bizarre

Robin William's scope in acting has NO LIMITS! Every time I go see him in a film I expect it to be like something else he's done and every time I walk away absolutely Blown Away by his new portrayal! This movie is about death! Not like any movie...

Pros: Awesome acting and visuals, great story
Cons: Pacing is a little off in parts

This is the story of Chris Nielsen (Robin Williams), a good man with a good life. Chris has a loving wife, Annie (Annabella Sciorra), two beautiful children (Jessica Brooks Grant and Josh Paddock), a beautiful house and a good job. That is, until one day ...

Pros: Wonderfully touching, Absolutely fantastic special effects, wonderful story line, nothing like it before
Cons: tear jerker but uplifting at the same time

This movie was completely unexpected for me. I wasn't sure what to expect, other than I had heard that it was a tear jerker.

Love story, wonderful dream sequence, differences between heaven and hell, you take from it what you will.

...

Pros: Great movie, makes you think
Cons: hard to understand if you don't pay attention

Being the HUGE Robin Williams fan that I am I just had to see this movie. "What Dreams May Come" gives a unique look at life and death. It is intellectual as well as touching. The movie tells a story of two soul mates who, with unfortunate...

Pros: Great acting, great story line, great...well, everything
Cons: It was so compelling that I can not describe any better than this

I have put off writing a review on this movie for a long time in fear that I would bring disgrace to the meaning embedded beyond the surface of the screenplay. My meager words of praise could never be enough to bring the true meaning of this film into...
