interesting vision of afterlife
4 January 2016
Chris Neilson (Robin Williams) is utterly in love with his wife Annie Collins-Nielsen (Annabella Sciorra). They have two boys but they die in a car accident. Later, Chris as a doctor tries to help in a car pile-up and is killed. He is met by Albert Lewis (Cuba Gooding Jr.) in the afterlife. Heaven is made up in his mind with his memories and his wife's paintings. She's connected to him as his soul mate. A despondent Annie commits suicide and goes to a hell of her life gone wrong. Chris goes on a quest to save his wife.

There is an interesting afterlife being painted in this movie. It's floaty and in the deepest of colors. It's awe-inspiring at times. It can be a slow journey. It takes an hour before he goes on the quest. He needs to start earlier. His quest into hell is a bit confused. The reveals are not clear enough. It needs to transform the psychological adventure into a more action oriented quest. It is visually interesting but the story isn't.
