What Dreams May Come
This was a movie unlike any I had seen before. It brings to mind many thoughts of life. A good movie makes you think of your own life. "What Dreams" makes you look at your own life. When Chris Nielson (Robin Williams) arrives to heaven, I immediately wondered what heaven would be like for me, or if I'll even make it.
This isn't a great movie. It's just good. It had potential to be one of the films that is shown over and over again on cable, but it fails. I'm not sure why, but after a while heaven becomes very boring. That's the one thing I least expected.
I know people whose lives this movie has really touched, so on that note I can recommend it. But unfortunately I don't really like it. Hell isn't scarey enough and heaven is boring. I give What Dreams May Come a C=.
