Review of What Dreams May Come (1998) by Jay L — 17 Apr 2011

A visually arresting, astoundingly imaginative, and thoroughly emotional film from Director Vincent Ward. Packed with dazzling visuals, colorful dreamscapes, and optical pleasing environments all the way through. A thoughtful tale of meta-physicality and mortality, sounds depressing and it is, but it's a must see film, a film that preaches the power of belief and hope. A spectacular visionary punch of euphoric bliss mixed with dysphoric pain, magical and filled with imagination and heart in every frame. A tender and thoughtful story that turns into a perilous journey to hell...literally. Prepare your eyes for the sheer intensity of the powerfully audacious visuals and award winning special effects. It's thought provoking and filled with imagination, what more could you ask for in a film.

Robin Williams stars and he is wonderful, he is truly a man of wide ranging talents. He is an awesome actor with searingly brilliant talent. Cuba Gooding Jr is excellent as he always is. These two have some excellent chemistry together, and should be in more films together.
