Great visual effects, but . . .
26 March 1999
To be sure, the imagination shown by the designers of heaven and hell in this film is extraordinary. They should be put to work on a film version of a better book about the subject (say, Dante's "Divine Comedy"). The plot, however, should be avoided by anyone with a family history of diabetes. It is a simplistic, sappy amalgam of Catholicism (Suicide is a mortal sin, so suicides go to hell), reincarnation (if you REALLY WANT IT), Judaism (we stay alive in the memory of those who come after us), New Age "feel good" and who knows what else. An indigestible mess, not likely to be very challenging to the intellects of most viewers.
