Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Benedito Dias Rodrigues Just for someone who has a broken heart...in the begining start well on sci-fi genre,while in the future became a melodrama and some childsh acting,perhaps miscasting by Jamie and Isabel who weren't in the level of Gibson,great to see Elijah Wood as a child,the picture didn't take off,a bit slow dow.....but still interesting to see,if you don't have anything to do!!Not convincing!!Resume:First watch: 1996 / How much: 3 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 7
Armand it is easy to criticize it. it is not difficult to enjoy it. because it is not only a romantic movie but a deep honest declaration about force of details who defines life. a film about hope, dreams and love. with a seductive Mel Gibson who use exactly the note for define the story more than chronicle of a new life and sweet emotions. like many romantic films, it is predictable. like many romantic films , it is far to be out from the clichés circle. but it is honest and beautiful and fresh. it has good actors, a not bad script and interesting performances. and a theme who has not end. so, Forever Young. old fashion romanticism, Mel Gibson and his good job, the music and the crumbs from Romeo and Juliet are enough to seduce. and to remand the flavor and the grace of stories full with old fashion romanticism.
gwnightscream Mel Gibson, Jamie Lee Curtis, Elijah Wood, Isabel Glasser and George Wendt star in this 1992 sci-fi drama. This begins in 1939 where we meet test pilot, Daniel (Gibson) who has a girlfriend, Helen (Glasser) and best friend, Harry (Wendt) who is a scientist. Daniel wants to marry Helen, but she gets into an accident and goes into a coma. Daniel is depressed and convinces Harry to be his cryogenic test subject allowing him to sleep for a year instead of waiting for her to wake up. Fifty years later, Daniel is unwittingly thawed out by young boy, Nat (Wood) who helps him search for the answers of what happened during the years he was asleep. Curtis (Halloween) plays Nat's mother, Claire who is a nurse and also helps Daniel. I've always enjoyed this film, Mel is great in it, he & Isabel have good chemistry and Jerry Goldsmith's score is great as usual. I recommend this good sci-fi drama.
martinmcdonough Hitting just before Sleepless in Seattle (which would be released six months later), this movie was very well done indeed and helped usher in the romantic comedy era of the 90's. Suspend disbelief about the possibility of being cryogenically frozen and then brought back, and this movie works. It's warm, it's witty and it's never overplayed or over-dramatic. Mel's performance in the beginning of the movie when he is apprehensive about popping the question is perfect as he projects probably where every guy has been at some point when he is about to ask. You just want to tell him "ASK!!!" but he can't. It's genuine. Very good date movie. Highly recommend.
