Afterlife!

This is the second review I have ever posted. Although I may not be a Siskel or an Ebert, I do know a lot about this subject matter.

The interviews are fantastic. James Van Praagh, without question, does the best interview I have ever seen him do and, as I am an ardent fan of "Ghost Whisperer" and James in general, I know what I am talking about.

Raymond Moody does a great job as well.

There was a whole list of fascinating topics and new discoveries. The list of experts, unlike any movie I have ever seen on the subject, in addition to Dr. Moody and James Van Praagh, the movie included Dr. Vernon Sylvest, Dr. Kenneth Rose, Dr. Jeffrey Rediger, Dr. Norm Shealy, and Captain Frederick "Skip" Atwater. Captain Atwater was the operations officer in charge of the top-secret military StarGate program.

There is a lot more, but I just got through watching it for the first time.

The NASA experiments, the experiments creating invisibility, and the top-secret research done on consciousness detached from the physical body were all fascinating.

Very informative and education documentary that is factual and concise. I learned a lot from watching it about there being a very strong possibility that there is no death and that life goes on after death.

The documentary gave me a lot of comfort and opened my eyes to the fact that we have so much to learn and so little to fear when it comes to the taboo subject of death. I think this documentary should be shown at schools for the older students to learn from. Humanity can only progress once we have conquered our fears and embraced the truth. This documentary encompasses the truth and it is presented in a subtle and cohere manner everyone can enjoy and understand.

It's horrifying -- and not in the way you were hoping for. Most prominent are the terrible production values coupled with a goofy narrator who has sadly mistaken the serious -- and, poignant -- topic as an audition for Maybelline mascara.

It's devoid of anything that vaguely resembles scientific research and looks more like an episode of Clutch Cargo. What a waste of time.

As another reviewer pointed out, this travesty sets the topic back decades. Even the few snippets of halfway interesting footage can't redeem Ghosts and the Afterlife. There's not enough lipstick in the world to pretty up this pig.

I was immediately drawn to the subject matter of this documentary. But very quickly all credibility vanished with the scantily-clothed beautiful model/host and her attempts at handling subject matter as serious as life/death and the afterlife.

All I can imagine is one of the producers or writers said "I've got this gorgeous girl who will probably date me if I can get her this gig" That is about as serious as anyone could ever take her presence in what could have been a GREAT documentary. The science and the experts were great; the research done was really interesting...but the tank-top wearing college girl? Just RUINED all the credibility this documentary could have had. Why not a narrator with experience or knowledge on the subject?

There's no need for "eye candy" with a subject this serious and life changing.

...this movie seems to have plenty, but I couldn't make it more than 20 minutes. Tried to tolerate the host, the bad audio, and even worse editing choices but it never got better. The host's wide eyed facial expressions and overly enthusiastic tone of voice come off kind of cartoonish creating a strange feeling of dissonance between her and the topics being discussed. Sound effects and background music frequently over power the volume of the people recounting their stories. The editing choices and quality are just... bad. It's poorly made which is a shame because the idea is there, it's just hard to watch. With how all over the place it is - makes me wonder if the intention was to hold the attention of a younger audience?
