If there's one thing that What Dreams May Come has is a vivid imagination. Maybe some readings into Dante's Inferno might have given the writers some ideas as a start. But this goes way beyond.I remember years ago at a Science Fiction convention Peter Davison said that one nice thing about being the Doctor in Doctor Who was that you could create your character from scratch. Since we've got no reports on the afterlife one can the imagination soar in creating it. Soar it does and at times the creation threatens to overwhelm the cast, but it never does.Robin Williams doctor and Annabella Sciorra artist seen fated to be mated and are. They raise two children, but both are killed in a car crash devastating the parents both try to move on. Then Williams is killed in a car crash.At that point the film shifts to the afterlife as Williams starts to get used to the territory. Cuba Gooding appears as a kind of mentor/guide for him. The place looks like paradise, but paradise will not be complete without the family reunited.The afterlife does have its rules and Williams has to make quite the journey to accomplish his goal. Williams, Sciorra, and Gooding give impeccable performances and the sets are just breathtaking.If it isn't this is what heaven should be.

Sometimes we must consider that we aren't living in heaven. We're on earth and here is full of different problems. Girls are trying to seek for a rich man to make for them a dreamy heaven on earth.

I've not watched this in years but my god......this film is wonderful. It's a tragic tale but also it isn't. It's about hope and about love. Some scenes destroyed me as the acting performances are phenomenal. If you get a chance please watch. Not all is what it seems.

Poignant, beautiful, appropriately dark at times, with just a dash of funny - this movie will always rank amongt my all-time favorites. If you haven't seen it, do! I could say, "Come on, it's Robin Williams!", but there's so much more to this film. It handles metaphysical questions and some of the tragic elements of being human, and then wraps it up in a way that still has the viewer leaving satisfied, hopeful, and even happy without seeming overplayed or kitschy. Rent it. If you regret it, I will be incredibly surprised.
