    Mix between low budget, 90s graphics and incredible information

    How was this documentary made in 2022?? The graphics is straight out of the early 2000s. The soundtrack sounds like it belongs in a 1990s elevator (lift). Add that with some of the latest most advanced scientific information and you have yourself "Ghosts and the Afterlife".

    After watching this documentary I am eagerly waiting for AI to take over this industry cause goodness gracious me, humans failed this one...

    ADDITIONAL NON-SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: They mention all of the MDs and PHD that will feature in the documentary but in the end their input was minimal with most of the focus on Hollywood.

    I love a good ghost story...

    ...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?

    Good movie

    Really liked it. A lot of good information. I didn't like the girl's dress speaking as a fashion designer, I think it could have been a bit longer and a different color. Also, she changed her clothes so often, it made my head spin. And, maybe, it would have been a good idea to have a man narrate the film to give it more authority. Just saying that's my opinion. Of course, there was a large number of male contributors in the expert category. Also, in some scenes she wasn't even wearing shoes, which i guess is OK. Bottom line, i really liked the movie, so in the long run, I wold recommend it with 8 stars.

    Excellent documentary, will be watching it again

    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.

    My Thumbs are up and I rate it 8 stars.

    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.
