After Death

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
