This movie is what began my like of Christopher Walken, and sadly a realization that I should have already been watching more of Natalie Wood. There was no dramatic wardrobe (can you say lab coats?), no love scenes, but a dedicated plot involving work-aholic PhDs (one chain-smoked - something you probably couldn't put in a movie today) who were chasing the aged old plot (but with a fresh twist) of the Project Management being told "don't turn my G__D__ project over (to the military)" - cloak/dagger and fairly intense exploration into cataloging the afterlife. In the midst, some docs get a grip and find out what's important after all...If you like pondering the Here-After, this is no documentary, but it is definitely something to think about...
