Watched this last night and liked it quite a bit. Stars Matt Damon as a reluctant psychic. <iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/0XvJwTYnKww" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
This is a rare good review i have gotten from this movie. I have been avoiding it. I guess i will give it a try.
This is my review of the movie from last year. Hereafter The family's bi-monthly trip to the movie theater. I wanted to see "127 Hours", but it wasn't playing in my area, so we defaulted my wife's option of "Hereafter". I wasn't totally disappointed with her choice. I figured Matt Damon's in it, Clint Eastwood must have a couple more decent movies left in him and the trailer was pretty cool. Opening scene - The Tsunami we see in the trailer. Very cool scene. I start to get excited. Clint doesn't normally work with special effects. Nice to see him try his hand at something other then the background CGI we saw in "Flags Of Our Fathers". Then............................nothing. This is what Clint does lately........point, shoot, act, next scene, that's a wrap, edit, hand it in.......done. Sometimes it works, in this case, it doesn't even come close. It's really noble of Clint to want to finish movies quickly and come in under budget. This shows what happens when you blow your entire budget on one scene for the trailer, and don't really care much about the rest. I can see Clint yelling at his editors............"Just get it in the fuckin' can, boys.........just get it in the can". This is just a long ass boring mess that seemed about an hour longer then it actually was. My wife, who's a sucker for this sentimental, afterlife mumbo jumbo nonsense, leaned over to me after the movie was over, told me it was the worst movie she had seen in a long time, and apologized for picking it out. I laughed out loud in the movie theatre, because I thought I was going to have to pretend to like it, for my wife's sake. :: Clint deserves to be panned for this, but I wouldn't be surprised if they dig this up for award season, just because he's Clint. Disappointing 3/10 :Ramonza:
It started out very strong with the tsunami scene and then was quite slow for some time, but I thought it ended strong. You have to be patient and let it develop.
