DVD Reviews of What Dreams May Come [Region 2]

DVD Review: Strange movie
Summary: 3 Stars

Not what I expected. Lots of sensationalism. Not the spiritual movie I had been led to believe it was.

DVD Review: AWFUL
Summary: 1 Stars

Seriously, got the movie OVER a month later. don't buy from this seller. freaking SUCKS. i could have freaking got it and mailed it to mySELF faster, and they don't return emails. Awful, awful, awful.

DVD Review: A visual and thoughtful masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars

Be sure to have a high definition TV to watch this stunningly beautiful rendition of a tragic but beautiful love story. The pallet of colors is breathtaking and the story moved me. Have a few tissues available because it touches on many of the most heart-felt emotions imaginable.

This film won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects and it is the vision of director Vincent Ward of a possible view of life after death. It challenges us to think of possibilities while also dealing with our humanness as well as our spirituality. I thoroughly enjoyed this film with Robin Williams, Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Annabella Sciorra!

DVD Review: A difficult subject, handled with grace
Summary: 5 Stars

My wife and I love this film. For me, it is one of the few films I've seen that improves on its literary source (which I also enjoyed) -- the story is considerably tighter, the dramatic tension higher. Williams, Gooding, and Sciorra are uniformly excellent; in fact, this is probably our favorite Robin Williams performance, and that's saying something. Very, very good special effects for the time.

Death, and life after death, are tough subjects, and most people shy away from them, outside the horror or tragedy genres. This film (and its source novel) tackles contemporary afterlife research head on, and provide a moving, emotionally charged experience for those who are open to it.

DVD Review: such a great movie
Summary: 5 Stars

a friend turned me on to this movie... i love it... my husband loves it... i ended up with two somehow.. and paid for two also... typo i assume..., gave the other to my daughter and she and her boyfriend loved it.

the price is fabulous and the fact that it is hard to find this movie out in circulation made this an even better experience for me ,.. i find almost everyyything i need or want on amazon. !!

Description of What Dreams May Come [Region 2]

Robin Williams and Annabella Sciorra star in this visually stunning metaphysical tale of life after death. Neurologist Chris and artist Annie had the perfect life until they lost their children in an auto accident; they're just starting to recover when Chris meets an untimely death himself. He's met by a messenger named Albert (Cuba Gooding Jr.) and taken to his own personal afterlife--a freshly drawn world reminiscent of Annie's own artwork, still dripping and wet with paint. Meanwhile a depressed Annie takes her own life, compelling Chris to traverse heaven and hell to save Annie from an eternity of despair.

The multitextured visuals seem to have been created from a lost fairy tale. Heaven recalls the landscape paintings of Thomas Cole and Renaissance architecture complete with floating cherubs, while hell is a massive shipwreck, an upside-down cathedral overgrown with thorns and a sea of groaning faces popping out of the ground (one of those faces is German director Werner Herzog). Williams is the perfect actor to play against the imaginative computer-generated imagery--he himself is a human special effect. But the lack of chemistry between Williams and Sciorra is painfully apparent, and the flashback plot structure flattens the story's impact despite its deeply felt examinations of the heart and the spirit. Still, there's no denying Eugenio Zanetti's triumphant production design and the Oscar-winning special effects, which create a fully formed universe that is at once beautiful, eerie, and a unique example of movie magic. --Shannon Gee
