I read The Astral City many years ago, and it helped inspire me to learn Astral Projection. The Astral World is very different to the physical world. For example you see by sensing energies, as opposed to trying to look at them. This is not so easy in demonstrate in a film. If you want to know how to visit the Astral City then you will find practical projection techniques at GreatSimulator.com Its good to watch a film such as this because it drives you to explore. One of the best aspects of the whole story is the way in which it makes you realize the importance of learning what lies beyond death. Visiting the Astral World through Astral Projection at least shows you what the reality beyond death is.
Hard to explain, but this is not a normal movie, please understand it as a deeper insight. Be open and let this change your perspective, it is a great and important work.
If you have the chance read the books, too, it is definitely worth it and there is much more content waiting for you. Believe it or not, these are not conventional fictional books, they are "written", or more specifically "psychographed", by the brazilian medium Chico Xavier (died in 2002). Search for Chico Xavier and Andre Luiz to find the psychographic works this movie is based on.
Obviously the movie uses fictional images and actors to convey the original message of the books, but I think they did a good job with that (though, as usual, the original work is even deeper in meaning).
May it bring more light to your life... :)

This movie is not only visually impressive but it is also the most beautiful story about the real meaning of life.
I recommend it! You have to watch it to have your own opinion since there are many moral values involved in this story making it hard to trust the reviews.
The movie tells us a story about "Andre Luis" who was a successful doctor living a rich life (rich material life) and just like many of us he did not care to enrich his spiritual life (moral values) letting the selfishness, pride and self-centeredness take over his personality. Only after death he finds out that knowledge, status and money without moral values doesn't help him to be happy in the eternal life.

This movie was fascinating! The effects are fantastic and the scenario very captivating.
Sends you to a place where you can't help but put yourself in Andre's shoes and think of what you want to do with your life. As for the message sent by the movie, it is one that warms the heart and awakens questions about life, love, selflessness and how you affect your life and the life of those around you by simply existing. As a scientist I have gone through life battling with the fear of death. After watching Nosso Lar something inside me changed. I won't say I am a believer now, but I feel at least hope ...
I recommend it for anyone who one day has wondered what happens when you part.

This movie for me, was like felting all of my believes. with a nice calm, and slow rhythm that makes us experience this movie in a different way.
There is no rush or dialogs to explain the faith, its a matter to understand for your self, make you think things, re-think your life.
The special effects didn't interfere with the basis of the story, just make it more beautiful to watch!
People who are "Espiritas" will see their believes materialized, in gorgeous set, they use some nice locations, and transform they a little bit, but i think the idea was to show that heaven "Nosso Lar" is not so different from here on earth, on our world we just need to make it more peaceful, and less capitalist, less noise, less selfish.
i'm not a review writer (its my first) but i felt it would be important to write what i felt.
