I thought the movie (really a documentary) was pretty good. No new ground is explored though. The writers did try and work in solid scientific opinions regarding NDEs. What was interesting to me is that some of the empirical research had well established doctors like Dr Sabom asking hard questions and maybe believing that there could be consciousness after death...beyond experiences from the dying brain. We've seen these spiritual documentaries on cable and they are always interesting. This production is no different and the verbal experiences described by some of these people, personally reenforce my faith and hope that there is an afterlife to look forward to after we pass. Now, this movie was created by the same folks that produced "The Chosen" and "Freedom". Although, it has strong Christian influences, the testimonies aren't heavily faith based. It's a positive movie and worth seeing. Esp for people who may need a spiritual boost or for some that may be suffering from depression. In fact the producers ask that the viewers pay the experience forward to someone in need. It will most likely come out on cable soon too. I recommend it to all people.

Most of the material in the film has already been explored elsewhere but what I found especially disappointing was that it was mainly presented through the experiences of North American Christians. Dr. Moody actually touched on the experiences of believers of other faiths in his 1975 book but, for some reason, it did not come up in his interview. As a person from a devout Catholic background, I would have appreciated hearing of the NDE of people of other faiths, in particular Buddhists, Hindus and Muslims who make up almost half of the world's believers. They most certainly would not have met Jesus, as a number of the interviewees in the movie have claimed they did, and it would have been interesting to hear how they described the "Being of Light" encountered in their NDE. Since it appears that all of us live on after physical death and good deeds and love of others are an important part of our purpose in our present existence, then people of other faiths would be eligible for admission to the "heaven" described in many NDE's. Perhaps the makers of the film should consider a more inclusive sequel that would be of interest to more people than this one presumably was.

I thought that it was a very impactful feature, especially with it being documentary. You would tend to think that it might be boring because of the format chosen but it was enthralling. I truly found it fascinating from beginning to end.

From the moment it started I could hardly hold back my tears. (...and I'm not typically a person that cries in movies) This movie evokes thoughts of the afterlife and will really make you take a look at your life choices. It's a must see for any & every skeptic, believer and atheist.

I would recommend this to be shown to the whole family. (PG-13) No only were the stories moving but it was definitely entertaining too!

Great movie.

I'm glad to see a movie of this kind taking hold in an industry full of saccharin entertainment and meaningless fluff. But I still found it a bit fluffy for my taste. A bit too formulaic and predictable. The scientific disbeliever, the enthusiastic pastor, the credible neurologist, all repeating and repeating themselves. Lots of repeat stock footage of blobby outer-spacey imagery. I also found it rather male-dominated, very few female voices in there. And the bias was heavily white Christian. I would have enjoyed seeing interviews with people from other parts of the world in other faiths. Overall it was pretty enjoyable, but not the breathtaking inspiration that the trailer makes it out to be.

Talking about the subject of Near Death Experiences (NDEs) was once about as taboo as speaking about UFOs or seeing a psychiatrist - sure signs that someone was priobably psychologically unstable, even if he or she merely believed in these things, let alone having had experiences with them. Thankfully, however, those days are largely behind us now, and speaking about them openly and honestly has become much more rational and commonplace. Such is the case in this new offering from directors Stephen Gray and Chris Radtke, who provide a comprehensive look at a subject that was once considered suspect - even laughable - but is now taken quite seriously, including by those who were once among its greatest detractors. The film presents a detailed look at the phenomenon, featuring interviews with such researchers as Raymond Moody, often credited as being primarily responsible for bringing NDEs into the mainstream dialogue, and experiencers of these events. It also presents a series of NDE re-enactments, including depictions of what led up to them and what happened as the experiences unfolded, all backed by stunningly gorgeous CGI effects of an admittedly indescribable reality and a beautifully emotive original score. This combination of elements thus provides an excellent overview of what make up NDEs while simultaneously conveying the obviously heartfelt emotions associated with them, bringing the experiences home to viewers in a way that other documentaries on the subject haven't previously been able to accomplish. It sheds profound light on what can happen when one goes through these existential gateways and how returnees are often fundamentally changed by the experiences, giving them new outlooks on life and their purpose in it. While it's true that this offering doesn't present much that's especially new about NDEs and that its pacing can be a little slow (and redundant) at times, it nevertheless does a superb job of immersing audiences in the material, again, a big improvement over previous attempts at addressing this subject. And pay no heed to the cynics who have erroneously called this little more than religious propaganda; while it's true there are a handful of Christian-oriented references scattered throughout the film, the overall take here is more spiritual in nature, an ecumenical approach at examining the afterlife than one that's exclusively rooted in any particular theological tradition. Viewers who may have been skeptical, unfamiliar with or skittish about this subject may find themselves surprisingly enlightened by what this release has to say. And the fact that it's playing widely in mainstream theaters to astonishingly well-attended audiences also speaks volumes about the appeal and apparent universality of this title. As this film so astutely shows, death isn't the end - and it's high time we stopped looking at it that way.

To the Editors, you know this show would have been better if you only let each individual story play out to its entirety. But Noooooo, you had to jump around with a little beginning here and a little ending there. To the point at the end of the show, one had to try and remember, oh thats right, I remember how this person or that person started to explain their journey, but was cut off right at the punch line. Then started a new story, and cut that one off as well. Leaving the viewers trying to remember what happened in the beginning when it came time for the ending...It Just Ain't Right...Just Sayin...👀

I'm not really a documentary guy, I'm a narrative filmmaker. This is one of the most fascinating docs I have ever seen. Step Into Liquid was my original favorite doc. After Death might be the best.

What this movie does is try to capture all the experiences that people see and hear after they die. A lot of medical testimony from doctors, and most of the interview subjects (people who die) are highly educated people: doctors, professors, airline pilot, etc. And none of these people seemed crazy to me.

Plato mentions a similar event in his famous book, Republic. Paul talks about it happening to him in the book of Acts in the Bible.

Everybody's experience is unique and different. People's hearts stop beating. In some cases their brain waves stop, and they are in extreme cold. They have out-of-body experiences. Some are heavenly (a light) and some are hellish (it's dark). The filmmakers do an amazing job of helping us visualize what these people saw.

If you're looking for "proof" for life after death, this movie won't prove anything. But is there any evidence for it? Yes, there is, and that's documented as well. You might want to keep an open mind and check this out. It's very thought-provoking. By the studio that did The Chosen.

Firstly, this is a great documentary that you will not regret watching. Without divulging too much, let me tell you what I appreciate most about this film (which may bother a number of people who watch it). I've worked in disease research, and currently work in cardiovascular science and surgery. Science, by design encapsulates topics which historically turns-out individuals who become inured, rigid, and quite frankly cranky at anything that challenges the current popular "latest and greatest" understandings. I can say, first-hand that although there is improvement in the field over the years there is still a majority of scientists and doctors who remain shutoff to anything remotely perceived as fringe (such as NDE).

What I strongly appreciate about this movie (and is even addressed towards the end) is that it is a conscious effort to broach the subject of NDE using empirical data and information that is difficult to refute. While there is a certain level of depth that each account goes into, the focus is more on the occurrence of the phenomena and the scale that NDE's take place.

Many people will leave the movie wishing it went deeper into the subjective experiences and descriptions of heaven and the afterlife, but I don't think that would have served the purpose of this movie best. For those who already have faith and belief in the afterlife, you don't need further confirmation. Progression doesn't occur in an echo chamber.

To advance the topic of NDE and further our understanding requires introducing the conversation to research scientists who, mostly consider it purely subjective and therefor not warranting further investigation. The means to garnering necessary support is by approaching the topic with what empirical data does exist that irrefutably demonstrates there is something more that is worthy of funding and investigation.

While we all can discuss in great detail the wonder and beauty of seeing our loved ones who have passed on, of feeling the pure and unadulterated love of the creator, it is subjective and counter productive to include in a conversation that is meant to move a fringe topic towards the center of a meaningful round table discussion in order to advance science and medicine. I think this documentary does that beautifully.

After Death is very much worth the watch and I hope it garners some viewers who are currently closed off to the notion of the soul and an afterlife.

Interestingly, there was no other deity discussed except the Christian faith. It would've been interesting to hear from people with similar experiences that aren't from a god based religion. They did have some people that were agnostic or atheist, but all had come to believe in God after their "enlightening" experience. I'm not for or against christianity but it made me wonder if people from other religions only go to heaven/hell or do they go to their Devine afterlife? Not interviewing people with near death experiences from other religions made me feel like I only had a half a story. I think they should have expanded to include other religions or spiritualities to be convincing. I didn't realize until after I went to the movie that it was a Christian based documentary-oops!

As a Christian I was very excited to see this movie. Exploring near death experiences from many different viewpoints is a great opportunity to make people think about what happens after you die. The movie does a good job of showing that physical death is not the end, but instead it is a portal into the next life (or death) as the case may be. However, the most disappointing thing about the movie is that once it has the viewers thinking about what happens after you die, it completely drops the ball. Instead of letting people know that the only way to heaven is believing in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, it instead focuses on a generic message of being a good person and general love for others. The Bible clearing states that you can't earn your way into heaven (which is what this movie promotes), but that the only way to have eternal life is through accepting Jesus. After seeing this movie I did some research on Angel Studios, thinking they were a Christian based studio. Well, I discovered I was wrong. The term Angel comes from the source of their funding "Angel investors". There goal is to make shows that are family and kid friendly, without explicit material. As for this movie, the director states that he is an Evangelical Christian, but made this film for everyone. If that's the case he will have a lot to answer for when he stands before God. To whom much has been given, much will be required. To have the ability and resources to reach so many people with the gospel and not deliver is truly a crime. He may be a Christian, but I doubt he is an "evangelical" Christian.

Really gets you thinking, regardless of your belief structure. Like how they kept it neutral on a religious standpoint. Definitely made me wonder, and especially ask myself if I'd be proud of myself if I had an experience like one of these peoples'. Definitely worth the watch in theater around several other people. Cool energy from the crowd.

You could definitely tell that some of the people had what they would consider a religious experience, but the way they portrayed in the movie did not push any certain religious belief, they really kept it to only things they could absolutely prove scientifically. As a religious person myself I actually appreciated that. Makes a good message for all audiences.

My wife and I used to go to the movies a lot until Covid changed everything. We decided after a long time of streaming them to see this movie in the theater. We are both experienced metaphysical travelers and, as such, we did not expect much out of it. The first half was boring. They were trying to prove what cannot be proven by human senses, things you must figure out for yourself with your own effort and determination. They are other ways besides Near-Death Experiences to receive the proof that The Other Site does exist, ways you can navigate through when you move the prevalent part of your mind out there.

Do not take me wrong, many Kudos to this movie creators for their bravery to try to inform, provoke and inspire the public to consider a topic which is unfortunately still taboo and a subject of mockery by often influential people who have had zero personal experiences. For my wife and me the movie, using a parable, is trying to prove that there is water in the sea, trees in the woods or sand in the desert. The only things explored from the beyond are the variations of Heaven and Hell. And then what? There is not even an iota about it in the movie. The metaphysical or spiritual reality, choose which word you like more, is vast and infinite, unlimited. Experienced travelers venturing out of human bodies navigate it by going beyond our physical senses, using extra-sensory perception, non-verbal communication and understanding of non-form-based environments. They communicate with highly developed entities residing in both form based, transitional and non-form-based dimensions.

After the movie, my wife overheard two ladies commenting on the movie and told them that she had traveled everywhere beyond the physical realm. "And did you see Jesus?", they asked. She answered that not just him but many other beings, trying to tell them that they could do it as well. "But did you see Jesus?" they insisted. That is what a religion person would expect. An atheist would have doubts immediately after the movie had just started. And that is the main problem with this marvelous work. Most people expect that someone else will tell them, especially celebrities. It does not work that way; they usually do not know more than you do. The movie also creates a rather biased impression that only those with Near-Death experiences, usually ones with traumatic moments, can visit The Other Side.

That is why I think that for most of you this movie will not change your opinion. But it can inspire you to start looking for more, much more. We were created, modified, or evolved for a reason. If you don't take action, you might look forever by asking other people. If you do take action, you can open your mind and find the ultimate truth in your mind and heart by connecting to everything. You can find answers for all the questions you might have now. I did it and I know everything I need to know, like where we came from, what we are doing here, where we go after we die and what we would be doing there. And mainly, that everything is in our hands. Our death is just a graduation from this school, no need to be afraid. We are sailing toward it.

For people that have had an NDE or have a lot of knowledge of the subject... the documentary is VERY basic. For first timers on the subject, it's ok. The people and stories they picked are NOT the most compelling NDE stories out there. The movie touched a little too much about religion. Christianity specifically. The fact that the studio that made the movie is VERY into Christianity makes sense... and most NDEs are not about religion... but about love and source. Anyways. No harm done. Not a bad documentary. There's a bunch on YouTube that are much better. If anyone decides to read Raymond Moodys book because of watching this movie. Mission accomplished. Everyone should read that book. I'd say that proof of heaven the book was missing form the movie.

Death is an inevitable fate for all living organisms. Many people fear death or fear the unknown of what happens after death. There is a small group of people in the world who have been clinically dead and have come back to life. People who have experienced a near-death experience all seem to share similar experiences. This group of people has intrigued scientists, researchers, and doctors, which has led to a compilation of the experiences in hopes of understanding life after death.

The culmination of research gathered over decades and firsthand testimony of people who have had a near-death experience in a documentary. The evidence presented in the film is both intriguing and compelling. The movie shares many different experiences with death while sharing the analysis done by doctors and researchers. The film's content is relatively balanced but could have used some opposing research or alternative explanations to what the individuals experienced to make it well-rounded. The film could have been shorter and had the same effect. This is an interesting film to stream for anyone who may have questions about life after death, is curious about death, or even has a fear of it.

My Mom died, November of 2023, she was sick, but still going, I lived 5000kms from her and was coming home the following month to spend Christmas with her. My Mom's faith was beyond and always encouraged her 12 children to pray, she was no Holly roller, but she believed.

I went home for my Mom's funeral, and sitting at the kitchen table with my sister, she says " I had a dream , Mom told me to see the movie after death.

I never really thought anything of it. So here I'm September 2024, still carrying so much grief, home sick from work... trying to find something to watch... and this pops up on Amazon prime.

So I just finshed it, and it truly re-enforced my Mom's beliefs, and that she is with God.

I just wish I knew if she can hear me, and is with me. I recommend to anyone who is still feeling lost over a loved ones death.

This topic is a source of intense curiosity for some and strong skepticism for others. So, I had some reservations about how well they would present the subject in this film. I was happy to see they chose sources who were both experienced in collecting the testimonies of many different patients, and committed to conducting a sound scientific study, free of bias. And I was pleased that they shared testimonies from people of varied backgrounds. This film restores hope for an eternity of love/light, and challenges us to live today in such a way that we are positioned for such an eternity. I highly recommend this film for people of all beliefs.

Interesting on one side but also a bit disappointing. They build a case for the afterlife and elder to heaven and hell but they never get around to really dealing with Jesus for salvation. It's a very New Age look at religion. All you need is love. Do good and love. Um, I think the Bible would disagree. We need Jesus for salvation. Yes, he is love but it doesn't matter how nice you are with out a relationship. The movie seems to make it seem all religions lead to the same loving God. They do tough on hellish experience but they vague. The whole movie is vague about how one can go to heaven and those who go to hell. I'm disappointed this is supposed to be a christian movie, but it's not. Religious, yes, but not Christian.

This movie brings to the surface a knowledge that I truly believe is seeded on the inside of all of us. For some, the seed is buried under all the things that this world has thrown at us. Go see this movie with an open heart and when you feel something on the inside of you move to the surface and possibly manifested through tears, know that the tiny seed is being watered. Keep nurturing it and watch it blossom fruits of love. I went to see this movie by myself. The theater was packed, when I left, there was this feeling of oneness with everyone who was there. It was like we'd collectively been given the beautiful gift of ultimate wisdom.
