Hereafter

ugh.. boo too long and too boring to get to the end. The pace is sooo slow.

Boring, Bloody Boring. Expected SO much more for Clint Eastwood & Matt Damon. If i wanted to "READ a Movie" I would have bought a BOOK! To much subtitle, to slow, we waited 2 long agonising hours to see a climax-naked hand shake! Thin - way to thin! VERY Disappointed.

The movie seems out of touch and retro when it comes to the subject of life after death. Besides wooden dialogue and painfully mediocre acting (except for Matt Damon), I kept waiting for signs of intelligence to filter into the film about the subject. It never did. Plenty of folks have had near death experiences- and lots of books written about it. It doesn't need an intellectual french lady to tell her story. I couldn't believe this came from Clint Eastwood. The tsunami scene is very cool, but otherwise, pass on this dull, unenlightened film.

I would give this movie four out of five stars. It is true that the plot line is a tad slow at times. And the ending is somewhat peculiar. But there are moments in this movie that simply took my breath away. Yes the tsunami scene in the beginning is fantastic as we all knew it would be. But later on towards the end of the movie, there are a couple of scenes that are utterly beautiful. (The french cafe scene especially) If you look at this movie for the beauty of the film making, you will NOT be disappointed.

I went to this movie with an open mind and actually quite enjoyed it. Of course being a big Clint Eastwood fan helps as well! I hope that he will continue to make at least one new film every year for many more years to come!!!

Luigi is a fag

Love love love this film. Incredibly moving and can't believe very little hype, probably due to big film releases like the Kings Speech. Totally disagree with a few negative comments regarding the young twins. I felt they were very real actors -not your Hollywood type, coping with the huge trauma of their Mother. Also the cooking scenes were relative to the storyline and felt the characters were really building up to a possible romance with the sudden realisation that the truth can really hurt. Urge you to see it if you liked Gran Torrino.

An unconvincing melodramatic disaster of a movie. Go in, watch the tsunami, get out. There's nothing else to see here.

THIS IS A MOVIE ABOUT THE AFTER-LIFE. DOES IT EXPLORE THEN WHAT LIES BEYOND DEATH?. NOT AT ALL. DOES IT CONTAIN SPOOKY EFFECTS?. NOT AT ALL. SO, WHAT'S ABOUT?. SOME STORIES OF SOME PEOPLE THAT HAVE TO DEAL WITH CLOSE DEATH EXPERIENCES AND A GUY OVERWHELMED BY HIS PHYSIC POWERS. IS THAT ALL?. YES, AND IT'S A GOOD MOVIE ALTHOUGH SOMEWHAT BLAND.

My heart was pounding during the terrific Tsunami scenes at the start but by the time the waters had subsided id lost the will to live. Terrible script, unbelievable characters. The toe curling cookery class scenes with Bryce Dallas Howard are particularly awful and prompted me to leave. If you want to watch a moving, beautifully shot film with a metaphysical slant about coming to terms to the death then I would strongly recommend to you last year's The Death and Life of Charlie St Cloud.
