Das Ultimative Leben

Watched this as well as The Ultimate Legacy and definitely preferred the latter. This movie is a goo prequel to The Ultimate Legacy therefore I recommend seeing it for that reason alone.

Jim Stovall wrote more than 50 books. Out of which 3 became famous films Ultimate Gift 2006,Ultimate Life 2013 & Ultimate Legacy 2015. This sequel is about a tenacious,diehard,strong-willed American Businessman Red Stevens(James Garner)who leaves behind a huge fortune for his Grandson Jason. All 3 films are worth watching & make the complete sense. Here is true American values culture & morals. After he earns inheritance in hard way,he makes Hospital,Oil rigs & investments. He is big & rich but looses his love. His wife finds niche in nursing in a distant Hospital. He hates to be just a money making Robot. In the confusion,his Grandfather's journal helps him. He gains love &ultimate life. Request please first see the Ultimate Gift,later the Ultimate & last the Life. If you are American or Global citizen you will yourself & your life.

After reading the series I was very excited to find that films had been made. My husband and I really like the Ultimate Gift although it left out parts of the book, it was still a wonderful movie. So I rented The Ultimate Life without hesitation and when we sat down to watch it, I wanted to scream! I was really looking forward to seeing court case of Jason against his greedy relatives and all I saw was a bi-op of Red's life. Did the director even read this fantastic book? He couldn't have, because he didn't do it justice at all. I was peeved that Drew Fuller wasn't in this film but little did it matter since Logan Bartholomew wasn't much in it as well. What a let down to a life changing book. This series deserved better.

This movie is a continuation, if you lived the first story, you will love this one as well. Parent guide, there is nothing bad in this movie. Great for watching as a family.

This is a sequel to the 2006s 'The Ultimate Gift'. The story commences from where It ended in the first, but after opening few minutes it takes us to the flashback story in the earlier decades. It was not a bad story at all, but it did not have any valuable film stars in it to lighten up. Especially failing to bring back Drew Fuller was the biggest drawback for this sequel. Other than that it was well filmed in beautiful places in the United States. This movie was not bad as you heard about it. If you try it once, you will realise what I was saying. It is a fine B movie.
