There was an interesting opening to this movie. It was a special effects shot that was well done and really painted a good picture of what happened. It seemed real and is one of the reasons I wanted to see this movie originally. After that scene ended, the next interesting thing happened an hour later. This is where I felt like the story was going somewhere, it took a turn toward something happening, then it took another hour for it to wrap up. In between those points, not much going on worth watching.
Hereafter was a slow, sad, boring movie that could have done with a lot of editing, and a lot of updates to the script. Or it could have done with never being made. It was hard to watch, because it deals with death and is a sad movie, but also it just felt like it drug on and on with nothing happening forever. I am falling asleep now thinking about it. When will something happen, please make something interesting happen. What another hour? How is this movie not over yet.
I can not say that anyone needs to see this movie. This is not a renter, or a catch on HBO later. I can not think of anyone this movie is made for. It is just a total bore, and a waste of everyone's time. Skip it.
