phillip-181 No meta-monsters tearing through buildings, ripping apart bridges, burning everything here and there. This is an accurate depiction of the pain and horror 1000s suffer weekly in accidents just in the USA, much less the globe. What is tough, putting one's self in the role of the damaged man who has seen, paraphrasing Dr Martin Luther King, "The glory of the Lord." That he didn't want to immediately suffer the horrendous pain after experiencing the Afterlife is not a unique story. Others have told it, just not this well. Suffering with him, his wife, the kids, the parents, members of his community, shows the damage such a wreck hoists on the unsuspecting shoulders of each. It can be tedious to heal. This is real life, not a 30-minute sitcom. Nobody asked for this 34 operations and four months lying in a hospital bed. The support of others helping his recovery, his realization that others might just have it tougher in hospital rooms on his floor, all of these things come together for a warm, heartfelt realization of what may be the biggest lesson in this true story: Love is the key, key to living, key to healing, key to leading others to the opportunity ultimately that will be available to all. Not just 90 minutes in a paradise of understanding, but time measured in terms I find difficult to grasp. He was brought back here to share that taste he had through this crippling experience. We are all better for it regardless of one's taste in film.

SnoopyStyle It's 1989 Texas. Don Piper (Hayden Christensen) is a young Baptist preacher with wife Eva (Kate Bosworth) and three kids. His car is crushed by an on-coming truck. Paramedics can't find a pulse. A passing pastor climbs in to pray over him. He revives and is rescued. He is severely injured and suffers a tough recovery. The limited government compensation is taken by the health insurance. He suffers depression. He eventually reveals that during the ninety minutes of presumed death, he had reached heaven.This two hour movie has no reason to be more than ninety minutes whether in heaven or not. The plot has no drama. His depressed character is tiresome. There is nothing compelling. I hoped for some heavenly visions but they are short and lackluster. The spread of his story and his fans are infinitely more compelling than this movie.

agostino-dallas My Rating is based on the "idea". If I was to give this movie a serious movie quality rating it would be something close to 2 or 3. There are better movies with second tier actors to be seem like "The carpenter's miracle". Even "Heaven is for real" is better than this. I understand that movies abut the same subject might look like church trying to entice some people to come closer to Christian religion. However, I think that each individual experience is different. Some people have been through tremendous pain and suffering not to mention they survived accidents or diseases when people usually don't make it. Internet will show you many more stories of the same nature but they have not yet made it to the big screen. A good one is "Flight to Heaven" about Captain Dale Black. The issue is always to be able to tell a story about real and simple people exactly how it happened. It is very personal but with the right direction and dedicated actors it can be a success.

skuebler-57817 90 Minutes in Heaven falls short of everything. Here are the reason why it makes a terrible movie, not enjoyable for anyone to watch.1. In the beginning, at the car crash, it stops at a image of the fathers face in a duck face right after he got hit, giving it a un serious tone to the "mature" film.2. The acting is stupid from every character.3. Good plot that is wasted by too many depressing shots in the hospital.4. You can't get depressed about anything in this movie, because it all happens to the characters. There is no character development, they're terrible actors, and the twins and the daughter are so annoying, and give terrible performances!!!5.The daughter is so spoiled, she made her injured father (who I didn't care about at all so I just went with it) dance with her on his injured leg, after he said no four times!!Review:F/ 0%
