What Dreams May Come explores a subject long wondered about, the greatest untold journey. This film has some stunning visuals, particularly for its time of release. These Visuals still hold up pretty well today in 2013.
The strong theme of love and a goal for our main character allows us to follow the film through till the end, but at times lacks little more substance and offers the story-line little more than 15 minutes worth of plot.
Whilst in a realm that isn't our reality and with rules thrown out the window, it feels at times, we the audience can gain little more footing as to whats going on as the main character, and feels as though the story is being made up as we go along.
What Dreams May Come overall is an OK movie and anyone who's a fan of Robin Williams will be pleased with this one. The production design is fantastic, and all the players fill well what is there for them in the characters, but you cant help but feel lost and a little confused, as this was adapted from a book i cant help feel that there was a lot more in the book left out, or in the book the context works better in print.
3/10 for me, half an hour too long, not one i would recommend
