My Rating is based on the "idea". If I was to give this movie a serious movie quality rating it would be something close to 2 or 3. There are better movies with second tier actors to be seem like "The carpenter's miracle". Even "Heaven is for real" is better than this. I understand that movies abut the same subject might look like church trying to entice some people to come closer to Christian religion. However, I think that each individual experience is different. Some people have been through tremendous pain and suffering not to mention they survived accidents or diseases when people usually don't make it. Internet will show you many more stories of the same nature but they have not yet made it to the big screen. A good one is "Flight to Heaven" about Captain Dale Black. The issue is always to be able to tell a story about real and simple people exactly how it happened. It is very personal but with the right direction and dedicated actors it can be a success.

I haven't seen the movie yet as I was reading the reviews to see if it might be worthwhile. I rarely respond to comments/reviews but the leading page review by Bob Rutzel caught my eye with his comment about what he thinks "..Catholics say..".First of all, Catholics don't all say the same thing on many matters. We are free to choose what we believe and practice as long as we remain faithful to what is fundamental to the Gospel and authoritative Church teaching. Many beliefs, and practices especially, are left up to the individual to determine if they find them helpful in respect to their Faith and growth in Love of God and our fellow man.I've read that ..."Science tells us from birth to 33 our body reaches its peak. After that the body starts to decline..." This being the case, and also being in accord with much Catholic speculation on the subject, it would make sense that our "residing age" (if I can call it that) would be the age at which humans roach their peak. Any attempt to "nail things down" any more than this is, in my opinion, ultimately futile as it will be a "New Heaven and a New Earth" in which our immortal bodies reside and we will share in the very life of the Trinity. The Gospels say that once He was resurrected, Christ took on whatever appearance He saw as beneficial to the situation. As heaven is unity with Christ, I imagine we will be able to do the same if it is in any way necessary for our eternal happiness.It is still ultimately very much a mystery, as "age" is a construct of time which will not exist in eternity. Having said that, I believe St. Thomas Aquinas puts things quite succinctly and beautifully. St. Thomas Aquinas speculates: ....Man will rise again without any defect of human nature, because as God founded human nature without a defect, even so will He restore it without defect. Now human nature has a twofold defect. First, because it has not yet attained to its ultimate perfection. Secondly, because it has already gone back from its ultimate perfection. The first defect is found in children, the second in the aged: and consequently in each of these human nature will be brought by the resurrection to the state of its ultimate perfection which is in the youthful age, at which the movement of growth terminates, and from which the movement of decrease begins (Summa Suppl. 81.1).I suppose it is this type of speculation which give rise to statements about "What Catholics say".Time, or rather eternity, will tell for certain.

I never hearded of the book. It was awesome to start, but this movie...OH JEEBERS! (Phantom Strider 8 reference!) It's a doozy...The acting is impressive, because is based on a true story and sticks to the spirit of the book. Cheers for the actors.The direction and production is nice. The producers decided to make a (awful!) book adaptation of '90 Minutes', hired nice actors. The direction makes 'Wabbit' looks like 'Family Guy'. The rest of the movie? NOT!!It sticks very impressively the spirit of the book, because is based on a real-life situation of Mr. Piper's death in 1989.The message is charming, but the movie is not...How could you like this rubbish movie? I found reviews of how you LIKE this movie! Look, here's one! Written by crystal_zoo: I've read the book "90 minutes in heaven" when it first came out and was glad when they finally made the movie! This is about a pastor who was involved in an accident and was declared dead for at least 90 minutes. What happened next was a journey of pain and discovery, through faith and love of family and friends and many others who prayed for God to move in a miraculous way! We don't always understand why we go through incredible pain and loss, but when we trust in the God who knows every thing, we can witness how He works it all out for His Glory. I really liked this movie and hope more true life movies about faith during difficult times will come out after this one!!! True Christians get it, even if the rest of the world does not. Thank you for making this movie and thanks to the Piper family for sharing their experiences with the rest of us.And the second fake positive review is written by Heidi Cook: Anyone who enjoys deep and moving material will absolutely love this movie! Not only that, but the story is truly amazing. It's not just about his spiritual experience, (which is hard to explain through a movie when you can't put earthly descriptive words into it), but it's about love, marriage, family, prayer, hope, faith, recovery, friends, helping others, opening up, and of course the ever knowing possibility that the end isn't really the end. Awesome movie! Definitely worth the watch! Just don't forget, stay humble and listen with your heart. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone interested in Don Piper's real life experiences because we all go through hard times and this movie really does a great job portraying the real life details of such a horrific event and overcoming such tragedy. REALLY?! Your all brainless!! Did you check out the RATING?! Stop with the likes. But for me, is a mixed reception'd.RESULTS: Book: 10/10 Movie adaptation: 1/10 Acting: 10/10 Production: 9/10 Development: 7/10 Direction: 9/10 Message: 10/10 Epilouge: 6/10FINAL RESULTS: 62% D-I will recommend the book. Not the movie. So many fake reviews...
