This movie simply confirmed what I already felt about life after death, and did it very well. Speaking to people who have had this "after death" experience is the logical way to approach it, along with the clinical documentation that they were dead or put into a medically simulated type of death. The research done in these instances was thorough and very compelling. I was mesmerized and completely involved in the lives of the people they spoke with. Great job on the interviews, the reenactments, the visual and audible elements. Two thumbs up on doing a movie like this, which really makes people think about their choices in this life. What we do/say matters.

I saw this film with my wife and on the way home from the theater we had a great conversation about what this film made us feel and the thoughts that we had. I would consider myself religious. I'm a Christian. I have beliefs about the after life and this film neither confirmed or contradicted my beliefs. It was very intriguing to see aspects of what I believe and have been taught portrayed through the near death experiences in this film. All of the stories had one thing in common - the person died, literally died, but they each had their own experiences at the moment of their deaths. Some were good experience, some were in a state of not knowing what was happening, and some experiences were... well... scary. This is a film I would watch again as well as recommend to people that may have lost a loved one and is wondering what might be in the afterlife. My grandmother recently passed away and I know there was at least one person from the afterlife in that room as she took her final breath. She had a look of calm and peace on her face as she passed. She was looking all around the room but not at what was physically there, she was looking through all of that stuff. I don't know 100% what is after this life but I hope and want to believe that there is a loving God (being, creator, whatever) that is ready to welcome all who desire to be in his presence. The only reason I couldn't give a 10/10 was I felt it was about 10 minutes too long - other than that I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Interesting on one side but also a bit disappointing. They build a case for the afterlife and elder to heaven and hell but they never get around to really dealing with Jesus for salvation. It's a very New Age look at religion. All you need is love. Do good and love. Um, I think the Bible would disagree. We need Jesus for salvation. Yes, he is love but it doesn't matter how nice you are with out a relationship. The movie seems to make it seem all religions lead to the same loving God. They do tough on hellish experience but they vague. The whole movie is vague about how one can go to heaven and those who go to hell. I'm disappointed this is supposed to be a christian movie, but it's not. Religious, yes, but not Christian.

For people that have had an NDE or have a lot of knowledge of the subject... the documentary is VERY basic. For first timers on the subject, it's ok. The people and stories they picked are NOT the most compelling NDE stories out there. The movie touched a little too much about religion. Christianity specifically. The fact that the studio that made the movie is VERY into Christianity makes sense... and most NDEs are not about religion... but about love and source. Anyways. No harm done. Not a bad documentary. There's a bunch on YouTube that are much better. If anyone decides to read Raymond Moodys book because of watching this movie. Mission accomplished. Everyone should read that book. I'd say that proof of heaven the book was missing form the movie.

I took my 11 and 13 year old sons to see this beautiful film. My 16 year old son will be coming next. I lost the love of my life, and then shortly after, my dad. And then a year and four days later to his passing, my mum died in my arms. This film is an INCREDIBLE view into what comes next! My children were very close to their grandparents. When we were in the theatre, they were the only kids there. Lol We were all COMPLETELY blown away! What a beautiful gift and contribution to what SO many people NEED to feel comforted when in such deep grief. I am sincerely so grateful for this film and its contributors. Thank you so very much, from the bottom of my heart, for bringing it to light. Because it IS LIGHT. And Love. I will be sharing this with as many people in my life as I can!!

This documentary was interesting, in that it did tackle the question of what happens after we die. I've known atheists that have gone through experiences like this, where they've died, visited hell, came back and have devoted their lives to Christ. I do appreciate the film for bringing in legitimate experts in the field of brain study, as well as all the survivors. Their testimonies felt real, because they are real. People hate these films because they don't know the truth right in front of them. That seems to be a trend these days. People deny the truth because they don't want to tell themselves it's real.

As I get older, I think about my life on earth and also after death. I often heard about people who had unexplainable experiences and some stories or movies but this was was much more! I believe we have life after death and want to think our lives and purposes a little deeper. My friend joined us to watch this movie and we both were in tears after the film was over. So moving. This is a true documentary of different types of people and not only for Christians. And this film could possibly change our lives when we watch it with real intent. I recommend this movie to anyone if you ever thought about the purpose of your life, creation, and where we go after this life is over.

I thought the movie (really a documentary) was pretty good. No new ground is explored though. The writers did try and work in solid scientific opinions regarding NDEs. What was interesting to me is that some of the empirical research had well established doctors like Dr Sabom asking hard questions and maybe believing that there could be consciousness after death...beyond experiences from the dying brain. We've seen these spiritual documentaries on cable and they are always interesting. This production is no different and the verbal experiences described by some of these people, personally reenforce my faith and hope that there is an afterlife to look forward to after we pass. Now, this movie was created by the same folks that produced "The Chosen" and "Freedom". Although, it has strong Christian influences, the testimonies aren't heavily faith based. It's a positive movie and worth seeing. Esp for people who may need a spiritual boost or for some that may be suffering from depression. In fact the producers ask that the viewers pay the experience forward to someone in need. It will most likely come out on cable soon too. I recommend it to all people.

Enjoyed this movie during pre release, and so glad we went! Great first hand stories of what happened to people who were clinically dead, and the similarities are too close to ignore. Obviously, this is a question almost everyone asks, but no one really knows the answers- except for people who've gone through the experience and come back to talk about it. The people who are part of the movie are serious and credible, and it provides a fascination look at the mystery of life after death. For anyone who ever wondered what may happen when we pass to the other side, go see it. Very well done. Highly recommend for any age.

I'm not really a documentary guy, I'm a narrative filmmaker. This is one of the most fascinating docs I have ever seen. Step Into Liquid was my original favorite doc. After Death might be the best. What this movie does is try to capture all the experiences that people see and hear after they die. A lot of medical testimony from doctors, and most of the interview subjects (people who die) are highly educated people: doctors, professors, airline pilot, etc. And none of these people seemed crazy to me. Plato mentions a similar event in his famous book, Republic. Paul talks about it happening to him in the book of Acts in the Bible. Everybody's experience is unique and different. People's hearts stop beating. In some cases their brain waves stop, and they are in extreme cold. They have out-of-body experiences. Some are heavenly (a light) and some are hellish (it's dark). The filmmakers do an amazing job of helping us visualize what these people saw. If you're looking for "proof" for life after death, this movie won't prove anything. But is there any evidence for it? Yes, there is, and that's documented as well. You might want to keep an open mind and check this out. It's very thought-provoking. By the studio that did The Chosen.
