What Dreams May Come

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 ...

Pros: Robin Williams, visuals, intriguing from a spiritual perspective
Cons: flashbacks make it drag, disguised children in afterlife, a suicide

I thought maybe I’d see people playing baseball in Robin Williams’ afterlife as depicted in the movie, What Dreams May Come. I mean, doesn’t the title make you think a little of the Costner movie, Fields of Dreams, where “heaven” is where...

Pros: Not much.
Cons: Banal

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...

Pros: An imaginatively beautiful movie, filled with love and emotion.
Cons: Parts that are very weepy

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: 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: 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...

Pros: The visual explosion, Williams' understated performance.
Cons: Drags at times.

I was really expecting to hate this. It stars Robin Williams, first off. Yes I know he is brilliant. But he's been responsible for more wet hankies lately than Bill Clinton. I was expecting the traditional paint-by-numbers Hollywood schmaltz, extra...

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: 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: Excellent cinematography, direction, characters, concept, most of the acting
Cons: Very simple story, "Surprises" repeat

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: Williams and Sciorra are very good.
Cons: The last act is badly underwritten. Production design is very plastic.

Directed by Vince Ward. Written By Ron Bass. Based upon the novel by Richard Matheson. Robin Williams/Chris Nielsen Annabella Sciorra/Anne Nielsen Cuba Gooding Jr/Albert Lewis Max Von Sydow/The ...

Pros: Visual effects are awesome
Cons: none

I am not going to tell of actual events in this movie. I wouldn't want to ruin any part of it..


I first saw this movie on the big screen on a night out with my husband. I was a little skeptical at first because it seemed to be a...

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: Special Effects, Artistry, Cast, etc.
Cons: Generally horrendous.

DH and I rented this Robin Williams flick with high expectations. We both love his work, and were hoping for another stellar performance from a truly versatile actor.

We got what we asked for, as Robin Williams puts in an amazing effort in...

Pros: Beautiful scenery, wonderful acting, moving story
Cons: nada

What Dreams May Come combines two impressive elements of modern film: Stunning visual effects and a dramatic Robin Williams. The story of this movie was moving. It is a picture perfect drama. Literally. Let’s examine some basic elements of the plot…
...

Pros: incredible cinematography; strong heart; happiness, sorrow & questions in just the right places, cuba gooding and robin williams acting
Cons: no sequel

i won't do this great film justice. just go see it. my guess is that if you are a thinker, a dreamer, are visually stimulated, like a bit of a brain-stretch and good humor in your movies... you will enjoy this.

it is a true movie, in the...

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...

Pros: Fully deserving of the F/X Oscar...
Cons: Too much concept and too little development...

This flick was an artistic triumph that somehow succeeded in touching all the bases in a frenetic exploration of the human spirit here and beyond. Vincent Ward sometimes slipped and skidded while escorting us through this surrealistic vision of the...

Pros: Visually stunning..Robin Williams gives a wonderful performance.
Cons: More depressing than the book and Cuba Gooding Jr. is horribly miscast!

I was thrilled when I heard they were making What Dreams May Come into a movie, for I am a HUGE fan of the book. I was also pleasantly surprised that they cast Robin Williams as the main character. I went into the movie theater with very high...

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: amazing special effects, beautiful love story
Cons: sad

A soul mate. In the end, we all want one. In a way, many of us want to believe there's someone out there for us, that we will be with us through all eternity, that even death can't separate us.

The Premise:

...

Pros: Fantastic imagery, great use of effects and a romance you can enjoy without feeling like you need to go brush your teeth afterwards.
Cons: The romance-heavy story will leave cynics cold.

Every second movie these days seems to make heavy use of CGI animation and effects, to the point of relying on such trickery to keep the audience from losing interest. In the case of What Dreams May Come, the effects compliment the story and create a...

Pros: Robin & Cuba
Cons: not enough Cuba

I have always been a Robin Williams fan so when the opportunity came to see this movie I jumped. I realize that most people think of R.W. as that goofy fast talking idiot with Whoopi and Billy, but he is, indeed, a fine actor. Actually, it takes you by...

Pros: Incredible acting, emotion, and special effects
Cons: Flashbacks may confuse, some may disagree with afterlife concepts

As major Robin Williams fans, my wife and I saw this in theatres, and came away vowing to own the video as soon as it came out. What more can you ask from a movie? The emotions generated by the characters are so heartfelt and genuine, you cannot...

Pros: Beautiful movie with excellent cast and a very deep love story that transcends Heaven and Hell
Cons: Not enough kleenex.

Robin Williams is such a fine dramatic actor, sometimes I hate the fact that he is also a superb comedian. I think he gets overlooked in many of his best roles (Awakenings, Dead Again, Dead Poet’s Society) because we have all come to assume he’s...

Pros: Beautiful, heart warming, comforting film
Cons: Can be a little too emotional when coping with a recent loss

I saw this movie shortly after the death of my youngest daughter. It was the first thing I had done socially, and it was the best.

As you watch a mother's pain in losing her children and then her husband, you see the insanity the she can no...

Pros: Gorgeous visuals, good acting, original and touching
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: 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: Stunning visuals and good performances refresh an old mythical story line.
Cons: the visuals can at times overwhelm the story.

"Death is a very important subject" according to Woody Allen's character in Annie Hall. It is, we don't get to see many movies about what happens next, however. Heaven, hell, suicide, separation from loved ones, helping loved ones die, all...

Pros: truly wrenching in places.. stunning to look at
Cons: some silly plotting.. movie tries to say TOO much

The reason I believe this film, which does have its wonderful points, failed for the most part is stated in the title of this review. What is the meaning of love?? and life?? and heaven and hell and .. well that's enough for 40 movies right there.
...

Pros: The beautiful scenery, the topics explored.
Cons: It fell kinda short with the topics. They could have been taken further.

Do you ever wonder about death? Where we end up going once we've achieved it? Who we'll see? What we have to do to earn our way into heaven or hell? Is there a heaven or a hell? Are they separate? Or is there just one place where you...

Pros: Stunning visual imagery
Cons: Robin Williams in full, squishy love-me mode

What Dreams May Come has some of the most provocative imagery you'll ever see in a movie. Sadly, the movie never adds up to more than the sum of its landscapes.

Robin Williams and Annabella Sciorra star as Chris and Annie Nielsen, an...

Pros: Very in-depth though provoking
Cons: Religious Interpretations may not agree with all

Lost to her turmoil, reaching across the distance of even death through a painting still left incomplete, changing, molding, becoming all that is or ever will be. Our story begins with the loss of children in a car accident, a tragedy in itself and it...

Pros: beautiful visuals
Cons: heavy christiany message

I'm not trying to be funny with the title. Unfortunately, it's the truth-my mom did kill herself just over four months ago. Just when I was starting to feel a little better, I'm hanging out at a friends house and she says "Hey, let's watch this...

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: beautiful story, acting, and computer graphics
Cons: a little sappy for some

"What Dreams May Come" is one of the most beautiful movies to ever be produced. Not only does the story line pull at your heart string, but the computer graphics are gorgeous.

You open with 15 minutes of sadness, which some may not...

Pros: Inspireing
Cons: Odd religious ideas

Sensation, beautiful, inspiring. This film is a very different role for actor Robin Williams, yet he pulls it off beautifully. Amidst a wonderfully written script and stunning sets, it all boils down to a very pleasant movie experience.

...

Pros: Visually exciting and wonderful film!
Cons: None that I can think of...

"What Dreams May Come" is is a wonderful and successful attempt at something different. It's presented to us through the dreams of Robin Williams' character - Chris Neeson. We learn of his life through the aspirations and feelings he's always had -- only...

Pros: beautiful imagery
Cons: very sad and depressing

This has to be one of the most visually stunning movies in recent years. What it lacks in plot, it makes up for in scenery. Not that the plot was all that bad. Being a pregnant, walking hormone who cries at computer commercials (Jeff Goldblum does such a...

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: Fantastic acting, beautiful scenes, great music, and a wonderful story line
Cons: none that I can see

What Dreams May Come



If you are a true lover of Robin Williams films and all that he stands for, then you have got to love this movie. This film contains hidden meanings and beautiful...

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: Visually beautiful, heavy topic but covered in a wonderful way
Cons: One or two incidents of adult language

I came across this less-trumpeted little gem of a movie on cable a few days ago and simply fell in love with it. Visually rich and touching, this story of one man's love and failings is an emotional modern-day fairy tale of spiritual awakening.

...

Pros: Colorful, Vibrant, Wonderfully written, Romantic
Cons: Suicidal Content

I bought this movie about a year after it's initial release. I had never seen the movie before, but found it intriguing.
My husband and I sat down the day we got it and watched it from beginning to end. I cannot begin to describe the beauty of...

Pros: It's a Robin Williams movie
Cons: It's a Robin Williams movie

What Dreams May Come suffers from supermodel syndrome -- it looks terrific but is malnourished and has huge, obvious flaws just under the surface. Never before have I seen such a visually stunning representation of both legs of the afterworld, and the...

Pros: Lovely special effects
Cons: Horrible script, score, performances

First, the good news: What Dreams May Come has just about the most gorgeous and scary special effects I have seen in a long time--and on DVD, it's really an amazing sight to see. Paintings in vivid colors spring to life as Christy (Robin Williams), who...

Pros: Great movie, highly recommended
Cons: Dont need to see Cuba Gooding Jr naked even if he is all fuzzy

Have you ever found that one person that you would go through hell and back just to be with? That one person that no matter if you were alive or dead, you just knew that you two were meant for each other and nothing could separate you?

Thats...

Pros: Amazing Special Effects
Cons: Can be Confusing

It has been said that everyone has their own private Heaven and Hell, and this movie follows along those lines.

What Dreams May Come places Robin Williams in a role that the audience is not accustomed to. Usually when you see Williams he's...

Pros: great special effects, well acted, good plot
Cons: drags out a bit

What Dreams May Come, a film about the afterlife is a real tear jerker, and carries with it the happiness and sadness of love and loss. Robin Williams gives an Oscar worthy performance as Chris, a doctor who has been killed and let up to create his own...

Pros: excellent writing, great acting, deep meaning
Cons: none

What Dreams May Come didn't get the reviews I expected in the box office, but I was determined to see it. I had heard it was a love story, but that's all I new about it.
After watching this movie, I had to rent it again and watch it a second and...

Pros: Great theme, makes you think, awesome special effects
Cons: Kind of cheesy

When I first saw the previews, I knew I had to watch this movie. All I could tell was that is was going to be about life, death and what comes after.

This is a love story that knows no boundaries. The main character, Christy (played by Robin...

Pros: A movie that is truly inspiring and is recommended for PG 13 and up
Cons: Some scenes will not be suitable for young audience.

This movie is definitely something to look forward to. When I first watched this movie I didn't understand it. But the second time, I realized what the movie really meant. It was about life, death, love and sorrow. Once you watch this movie it's definite...

Pros: Heart-felt movie, special effects, wonderful actors/actresses
Cons: It was embarrasing to cry in the theater!! Very sad. (But is that a "con" ?)

I seen this movie in theaters with my Mom and one of my friends. It captivated me from the beginning. It was never dull or boring; everyone could relate to it because it allows you to think and explore your life and analyze other's. I think it was such...

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: Reminiscent of time spent walking around a museum.
Cons: Is that what you really want a movie to be like???

I give away some detailed plot elements, so if you have not seen it (you are lucky), but really really want to (don't waste your time), I guess you shouldn't read on until you have.

--

I must say right off the bat, I just don't get...

Pros: Pure Emotion
Cons: not for those who want logic

This was going to be a comment for a critic, but I want everyone to realize what this movie is about.

Not Logic, Pure Emotion.

I am offended that you think the way you do. Although there isn't much I can do about that, I can still...

Pros: Beautifully done
Cons: none

Do you think about reincarnation? What happens after you die? Can there really be a connection between those who have died and those that are still alive?? I believe we have all pondered these things, at one time or another but the only images that...

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 Special effects, Great story line, Great Acting
Cons: I really can't think of any.

This is Movie has gone down as one of my all-time favorites! We rented it one night because it was a new release in the video store, and because most of Robin Williams movies are so great. This one was definitely not a disappointment.
First, I...

Pros: Great original movie
Cons: none

This is my absolute favorite movie. Terrific performance by Robin Williams, Cuba Gooding Jr, and Annabella Sciorra. This is a very stunning and totally original movie with two of the great Academy Award winners. Embark on a supernatural journey beyond...

Pros: love, tears, life
Cons: can be a bit slow for those who want action

My husband rented this movie for me on one of his duty night, thinking it would just be a chick flick. Boy was he ever wrong - I am buying it so he can watch it too.
William's plays one half of true soul mates that first lose their children in a...

Pros: Moving, Heart Rendering,
Cons: Some Props/Scenes Overdone by Production

I actually rented this movie when, after the death of my sister, a friend advised me to pick it up as a "comfort". I thought for sure it was going to be a "cry baby chic flick" that was supposed to encourage my grieving process.
...

Pros: Made you want to believe
Cons: Made you think about death

I rented this movie because I happen to like Robin Williams, but I really enjoyed it. It made you want to believe that there is a life after death and that it is a good one. I liked the fact that the children could watch it and understand that you could...

Pros: Beautiful visions, wonderful acting...
Cons: ...some slow points

I have to admit, I'm amazed at the thought of an afterlife. I'm not part of any organized religion or anything, but I do wonder if there is some conscious life after death. If there is, I hope it's like this movie. Some spoilers ahead if you haven't...

Pros: warm and inviting characters, great story line
Cons: none

Robin Williams never fails to impress me, this movie is no exception! Robin portrays the true and often painful feelings of love in this movie. It just goes to show you, much in the message of The Crow, that love is stronger than death. This feature...

Pros: Everything.
Cons: How could there be?

Just when you think Robin Williams is all yuk and no heart, along comes a
movie like What Dreams May Come. The film blows away any preconceptions you might have had about Williams. His character has depth and emotions,
he feels pain and sorrow...

Pros: Wonderful love story, beautifully filmed.
Cons: Easy to get lost if you are not paying attention

I thought this movie was beautifully filmed and very moving. The special effects were very good too. It's the ultimate love story, about loving someone and never giving up on them. It is not just about romantic love either, Robin Williams also does a...

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: Um...I got somewhere to sit for over 2 hours, some good acting
Cons: made no sense, waste of money

I am a true aficionado of Robin William's movies except for one title, Toys. Well, there's one more title to add to that list and it's this movie, What Dreams May Come. At first the movie starts out pretty good. The acting is done very...

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: Great Choice of Actors and Actress
Cons: You want to see more!

When I first heard of this movie I really wanted to go and see it but I wasn't able to experience it until it come out to video stores. We finally went out and rented it. At first it didn't quite grab my attention but as soon as it got going I was...

Pros: GREAT LOVE STORY
Cons: NONE

I seen this movie for one reason...Robin Williams.He's a great actor.But,even he caught me off gaurd in this role.This is one of the best movies i have ever seen.It was so moving I cried.The plot is wonderful,although i won't give it all away.The main...

Pros: Touches the soul. Cool special effects. Convincing acting
Cons: scary, depressing

While from most of what I've heard, this movie hasn't met much fanfare, I really enjoyed it. The subject of death and dealing with loved ones in the afterlife opens up a lot of issues and really gets one thinking. I think the movie is best as a venue...

Pros: 2 hours of being consumed in Robins World.
Cons: Needs a Sequel...is that a Con? NO

I still have not seen a bad Robin Williams flick. What was that one when he had five lives and it died in the box office? Oh, well, anyway....
I love this guy,,,he makes me feel what he feels, he makes me cry.
In this movie really got lost...

Pros: makes you think about your life in perspective a bit more
Cons: none

No kidding either. In my life, I have attempted suicide more than once and came so close to it again right before I rent this movie. I know the movie is a fictional-drama, but it really makes a person think. I laid on the couch and cried all through...

Pros: The acting, the scenery, and the graphics
Cons: nothing

Paradoxically, I'm not very religious, yet I am strangely attracted to movies, TV shows, and other things that that deal with the afterlife. I don't think I'm ruining the movie for you when I say that Robin Williams's character dies. The movie is about...

Pros: Pretty to look at.
Cons: When it's looks go, it has nothing left.

I've got several issues with this film, as well as a few laurels to hand out. We already know that Williams can excel in dramatic roles and it is no surprise that he does so he as well. However, much of the action was not necessarily dramatic as much...

Pros: Gorgeous, Intriguing, Thought-Provoking.
Cons: May cause arguments among viewers

It absolutely astonishes me what moviemakers are capable of producing. They've taken us to the farthest reaches of the galaxy, (as it's been imagined, anyway), the depths of the ocean, centuries into the future and millenia into the past. And now,...

Pros: Nice visual effects. Movie builds up. Touching and makes you think.
Cons: Can be hard to sit through the first 20minutes

Firstly, it deserved it's Academy award for Visual Effects . The painted style of Robin William's "heaven" is breath-taking. You begin to appreciate this scene more after you go through the "extras" on the DVD where the SFX people explain the efforts...

Pros: thought provoking
Cons: Too deep for some

I feel like a majority of people who saw this movie did not understand what it was trying to say. I do think that the appearance and the quality of the production of this film was great, but the best part is the ideas that come from it. I personally have...

Pros: Beautiful picture, excellent story
Cons: --

This movie is one of the best I have seen in a long time. Besides stunning visual effects there is a beautiful love story interwoven, and a story that can be told to people of all ages.
Within are more new-age concepts of heaven and hell... more...

Pros: Dialogue, Visual Effects, Emotional
Cons: Show off enviroment more! Lacks action/adventure that some people might like.

Lately, I have found a new respect for Robin Williams. Patch Adams, Bicentennial man and Now this. This is a great movie about love and well, death. The movie follows the death of one man(Robin Williams) and his quest to reunite himself with his wife....

Pros: Makes you think
Cons: Will make you cry

I believe this is robin williams' best dramatical role to date.

williams plays a man who's life seems to have endless tragedy.
After his two young children are killed in a car crash, he too is killed

He finds himself at the...

Pros: miraculous imagery
Cons: an almost Dante-like Hell

I've seen this movie a half-dozen times, and every time I cry. I cannot help it. But, at the same time, whenever I watch it I get depressed. I guess watching Hell will do that to you.

"What Dreams May Come" is the story of...

Pros: Good story, beautiful scenery
Cons: Dark story line

This is one of the most visually appealing movies I have ever watched, in addition to being a good story premise with good acting. Annabella Sciorra is a woman who has barely maintained her grip on life and sanity following the car crash death of her two...

Pros: Wonderful acting, great plot, unique
Cons: None!

As someone who is usually a Stephen King fan, heartwarming movies isn't usually something I usually rave about, But, after seeing this movie, I couldnt begin to tell people how wonderful it was. Everything from the Idea of the movie, to the colors, the...

Pros: Special effects, all the acting, the premise.
Cons: none

Robin Williams has always been one of my favorite actors,since his Mork & Mindy days. He does not disappoint in this movie! What a beautiful story! If you don't believe in heaven, you will want to after watching this. If you are a...

Pros: tremendous effects and great acting
Cons: one person's point of view of Hell

When one envisions a trip to Hell, all kinds of things occur to you. This trip is a watercolor fantasy. What effects! Even if you don't believe a word of this story, see it to grab the colors. Robin Williams is awesome as the husband searching for...

Pros: Good performances and luscious sets.
Cons: Overly sentimental and over-produced.

WHAT DREAMS MAY COME: Fantasy. Robin Williams and Annabella Sciorra co-star in director Vincent Ward's first American film about true soul mates and the possibility of an after-life. Over-sentimentalized and over-produced, "Dreams" had some...

Pros: excellent all around
Cons: no good if you're depressed

Saw this as a date movie with a new man - I nearly started bawling! If you've ever lost anyone in your life, either from death or circumstance, this film really gets you where you've hurt. Truly, one of the best written and well acted movies I have...

Pros: lovely story and cinematography
Cons: not necessarily for people with all belief systems

"When I was young, I met a beautiful girl by a lake...."
When I say that this is a beautiful, beautiful movie, I mean that on so many levels. The filming itself is breathtaking, and so is the story. I have yet to see Dreams without crying...

Pros: the entire movie
Cons: slow at first

As soon as I had watched this movie at the theater, I knew that I had to own it. It instantly became one of my favorite movies. It deals with life after death, a subject many people won't let themselves even think about for a second for fear of...

Pros: cinematography, visuals, some comedy
Cons: better to see in a theater or big screen/DVD

I went to see this movie because the previews really caught my attention. One reviewer described this movie as "surreal" and that is exactly the right word. On the big screen, the visuals were spectacular. On video, they're still impressive...

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: Wonderful story line and breathtaking special affects.
Cons: None

I have always been a fan of Robin Williams but, he has really out done himself this time! This is the best movie that I have seen in a long time.

It has just the right mixture of humor and drama to make it appealing to all adult audiences. I...

Pros: Beautiful acting and imagery
Cons: A bit depressing at times

What Dreams May Come is a beautiful drama about life after death, and perhaps...death after death. Robin Williams plays the role of a doctor who is killed in car accident. In death Williams is greeted by his "guide" (Gooding) who helps him to...

Pros: Just an excellent movie great special effects
Cons: Story is a little slow at times but that's normal for all movies

From the first preview I saw new I would be seeing this movie! Besides being a Robin Williams Fan I love to see peoples different opinions on Heaven and Hell.

This movie really makes you think about life in general and what will come after...

Pros: artistic, philosophical, emotional
Cons: ?

I didn't know what to expect from this movie at all. I like Robin Williams a lot and "dreams" is often an interesting topic, so I figured there'd be no harm in renting it for an evening.

If I had had any expectations, I'm sure the...

Pros: truly a love story to top them all. Stunningly beautiful visual effects.
Cons: time to buy a new copy I wore mine out.

True love comes once in a lifetime and soul mates are very rare.Would you journey to the depths of hell to find your true love,your soul mate?
In this movie Robin Williams plays doctor Chris Nielsen who meets a beautiful woman named Annie(Annabella...

Pros: Excellent effects and acting
Cons: Really long and a tearjerker

This has to be one of the best plot lines in any movie I have seen in a long time. I saw this movie because of Robin Williams. I looked to him to provide an excellent lead in this movie, and he came through for me. This movie uses great special effects...

Pros: Wonderfully make, a great thinking movie of the mind and spirit.
Cons: Hard to follow at times because of the lack of information on people in his life before he died

I had heard a lot of this movie through friends and the media. I bought the movie because of the opinions of my friends. I truly enjoyed the movie. It makes you realize that life is short here on earth and we really never no what can happen. It shows...

Pros: Contains mystery, excitement, and an interesting plot
Cons: Depressing

This movie was the greatest movie I've seen in a long time. Although sometimes hard to follow and confusing, the plot is exciting and constantly revealing secrets. I saw the movie because the plot looked very interesting and it appeared to be a worth...

Pros: thought provoking
Cons: no mention of Jesus

Reincarnation, God, and Hell. What is the power of Love? How did I affect people while I was alive? This movie provokes many thoughts on life and after life.

This movie left me wondering what my impact on this earth has been, what kind of...

Pros: Beautiful, thought provoking in a Disney-esq sort of way
Cons: A little too much with the moral messages for me

I wish I had seen this in the theater ... or at least on widescreen DVD. Alas, I rented it on VHS and had to settle for the "pan and scan" version. It was noticeable too. There is some really great special effects in this movie and some of it...

Pros: It is a wonderful story about love and trust
Cons: Some people might not like the adaptions concerning religion

This is a wonderful story about a happy family, which is shattered when the couples 2 children are killed. It tears up their marriage. He dies in a freak accident later, and she commits suicide. This movie is a writer's opinion on how Heaven and Hell...

Pros: graphic scenery
Cons: needed to be longer

Recently purchased a DVD player and this was the first movie my wife and I viewed. The story line is brilliant and the colors and scenery are breathtaking. The directors concept of heaven and hell are graphically represented with color, mood music and...

Pros: In depth
Cons: none

I saw this movie because it looked interesting...it was to say the least. The plot of this movie was so intriguing and so different. You sit there almost in a silence just taking it all in. It was very good. This is one of the best movies I have ever...

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: 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: Excellent story line, acting, and visual effects.
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...

Pros: A faith tester
Cons: Lead a person astray

I watched "What Dreams May Come" when it first came out on video. Throughout the entire movie I felt I was being questioned on who I was, what I believed in, and where I would go when my time on earth was through. After the movie was over I...

Pros: a wonderful movie for the whole family
Cons: couldn't find any

This is the best movie I have seen in years. It not only touches all of us but it shows everyone that true love can overcome anything. I have never seen a movie that described heaven in such a wonderful and believable way. If you think that soul mates...

Pros: Two different endings to watch, excellent acting, a beautifully miraculous and life-changing work of art.
Cons: Requires a lot of kleenex; the 2nd ending in the options section is okay, but not as good as the original.

I rented this movie on DVD. It is the best "kleenex" movie to watch. Robin Williams' and Annabella Sciorra's performances are very well-done and realistic to the characters. It kept me surprised and interested, and it had a constant bittersweet...

Pros: tearjerker
Cons: tearjerker

I was on the edge of my seat, truly moving, so discriptive.
Another terrific performance from Robin Williams.
Cuba Gooding Jr. was a perfect co star to Robin, they work well
together.
This is a perfect movie to watch with someone you...

Pros: Great
Cons: little hard to follow

I have recently rented this movie and was astounded both visualy and emotionally. It seemed to touch me in a way that few movies have before. It taps into the belief of heaven and hell and shows them in a way that i had never thought about before. I...

Pros: sweet and funny
Cons: sad

Robin, you've outdone yourself again!
The movie is sad, sweet and tender,a real tearjerker. And the watercolor heaven and isolated Hell are just too real and true to be the product of anything but a brilliant mind.
He dies leaving...

Pros: engrossing, visually stunning, mature yet fun, beautifully covers complex emotions
Cons: slow start, may not be for everyone

This movie was amazing. The tape says it was "visually stunning". Damn straight it was! It was touching, realistic....yet so very surreal. It was a tough movie to make about Life After Death, but Williams pulls it off (in a suprisingly very...

Pros: good scenes
Cons: bad story

What Dreams May Come starts with Chris (Robin Williams) and his wife's death. In heaven he is shown around by Cuba Gooding Jr. There, he meets his dead children and old friends, and soon starts to wonder if his wife died and where she is. Eventually,...

Pros: leaves you with a lot of questions
Cons: not all people will look this deep into it-so they just won't get it

I wanted to watch this movie because it had robin williams in it. I was in for a big surprise, because it is not like his usual movies.....but I loved it. i feel I have an open mind and have thought about life/death a lot. where we would go? what it...

Pros: stellar cast, Annabella Sciorra
Cons: none

This is a MUST-SEE film for fans of all the featured actors, for fans of romance, for fans of fantasy, for fans of great moviemaking. The scenery is outstanding, especially the fantasy sequences. The plot twists and the climax are never what you were...

Pros: excellent story, visually awesome
Cons: None

I have seen quite a few Robin Williams films, and this by far is his greatest. But surprisingly it is not a comedy, but a dramatic film. This movies scenes and effects are just visually awesome. The reason I saw this movie was because my art professor...

Pros: Beautiful and elegant in it's simplicity and its affirmation of love.
Cons: I got nothing here - I loved the movie.

I first saw this movie when I was coming to the realization that my marriage was over. My husband was not the person that would go through hell for me and that lack of core loving was ultimately the demise of our marriage.

The movie is a visual wonderment that is essential when "Smell-o-vision" if finally invented. I could smell the breakfast, the exhaugst and the paint. Williams performance cements my belief that his real life wife is one lucky dame. For those among us that believe in soul mates this is a movie to let your heart sing.

How the daughter chose to reveal herself gave me pause and reflection for how I need to be careful about all messages I project for my child.

Our versions of heaven and hell are constantly being created by us irregardless of wether we are dead or not.
