Rating: 6/10
Genre: Sci-Fi
Review: Well, this is not a bad movie, but not that great… well it was good up until the whole virus thing. There should have been a better way of ending the movie, that didn't involve killing the human race. But that could have been entertaining… like come on, there aliens travel across the galaxy looking for planets to plunder, like they could get defeated by these pathetic weaklings. One of the major problems with this movie is the hurra hurra go US… in the light of recent events (well 5 years especially) the last thing anyone needs to do is watch a movie where the British soldier goes "it's the Americans, it's about time".

Review: A pretty sad and depressing story right from the beginning. A man while on a lake in Switzerland meets a girl, who is his soulmate, they fall in love and have a wonderful life. They have two children who meet an unfortunate demise… a few years later he does as well. Robin Williamson ends up in heaven and the story revolves around his experience. His wife overcome with grief commits suicide and is sent into what can be self described as hell. This is the unique part of the film, the concept of hell. I have pondered the question of what is hell, despite being an atheist, the concept of hell still does exist in my own mind. Surprisingly, the concept of hell depicted in the movie is very close to my own idea of sufferer. To me hell is self created, it becomes you, it draws energy from you with out you knowing. It is a spiral of destruction that a person leads themselves into. Hell is self created, it is a need for self punishment, for self torture for not being good enough or failing. Over time you forget that any other thoughts are possible, and existence beyond this self mutilation ceases to exist. I have felt this many times, only to be brought out for a brief period of time by a friend or a lover. But it is easy to slip back, because it is the only thing you know, the only thing that seems to be left. Love over came this in the movie, true soulmate, but I have not found my key for salvation.
