Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Don't be fooled by the title. There was nothing heavenly about this film. It's a corny, hokey, clichéd, dull, slow, and an inaccurate melodrama about a young minister, Don Piper (Hayden Christensen) who suffered traumatic injury in a car accident. The paramedics who arrive at the scene cannot find a pulse and leave him unattended awaiting a coroner.Another minister caught in the resulting traffic jam enters the car and starts praying and singing, at which point he returns to life by joining in the hymn. He has been "dead" for 90 minutes. Now, it has happened that people who are being worked on with a defibrillator, etc., have come back after 90 minutes. But this guy was in a car with plastic over him.Kate Bosworth plays the minister's wife, Eva, as if she had been heavily sedated. On the other hand, the minister is transferred to a hospital that allows him unlimited access to morphine so he is, in fact, heavily sedated. And about halfway through this 121 minutes of hell, you'll wish you were, too.Unfortunately, Christensen's character is unlikeable as he slides into self-pity. When fireworks are going on outside, he says in his narration, those are the only fireworks left in our marriage now. He's been flat on his back in intractable pain -- I don't know what he expected.The character is on an IV for 45 days+. He would have had a PIC line by then. Also, he's given no pain medication while they're trying to stimulate bone growth with a fixator, which is incredibly painful.One other thing - of course the recovery is very expensive so at one point he is moved to a less expensive hospital. And all the staff becomes black. Low, producers, LOW.The acting is uniformly bad with the exception of Fred Thompson, who comes off like John Barrymore compared to the rest of them. He offers him a milkshake - McDonald's obviously threw some money at this thing. They're everywhere. As far as learning anything about the character's NDE, you won't, except for the last minutes of the film. Maybe heaven is worth the wait, but getting to this part of the film is not since you had to go through hell to get there. It's too little, too late.

I never hearded of the book. It was awesome to start, but this movie...OH JEEBERS! (Phantom Strider 8 reference!) It's a doozy...The acting is impressive, because is based on a true story and sticks to the spirit of the book. Cheers for the actors.The direction and production is nice. The producers decided to make a (awful!) book adaptation of '90 Minutes', hired nice actors. The direction makes 'Wabbit' looks like 'Family Guy'. The rest of the movie? NOT!!It sticks very impressively the spirit of the book, because is based on a real-life situation of Mr. Piper's death in 1989.The message is charming, but the movie is not...How could you like this rubbish movie? I found reviews of how you LIKE this movie! Look, here's one! Written by crystal_zoo: I've read the book "90 minutes in heaven" when it first came out and was glad when they finally made the movie! This is about a pastor who was involved in an accident and was declared dead for at least 90 minutes. What happened next was a journey of pain and discovery, through faith and love of family and friends and many others who prayed for God to move in a miraculous way! We don't always understand why we go through incredible pain and loss, but when we trust in the God who knows every thing, we can witness how He works it all out for His Glory. I really liked this movie and hope more true life movies about faith during difficult times will come out after this one!!! True Christians get it, even if the rest of the world does not. Thank you for making this movie and thanks to the Piper family for sharing their experiences with the rest of us.And the second fake positive review is written by Heidi Cook: Anyone who enjoys deep and moving material will absolutely love this movie! Not only that, but the story is truly amazing. It's not just about his spiritual experience, (which is hard to explain through a movie when you can't put earthly descriptive words into it), but it's about love, marriage, family, prayer, hope, faith, recovery, friends, helping others, opening up, and of course the ever knowing possibility that the end isn't really the end. Awesome movie! Definitely worth the watch! Just don't forget, stay humble and listen with your heart. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone interested in Don Piper's real life experiences because we all go through hard times and this movie really does a great job portraying the real life details of such a horrific event and overcoming such tragedy. REALLY?! Your all brainless!! Did you check out the RATING?! Stop with the likes. But for me, is a mixed reception'd.RESULTS: Book: 10/10 Movie adaptation: 1/10 Acting: 10/10 Production: 9/10 Development: 7/10 Direction: 9/10 Message: 10/10 Epilouge: 6/10FINAL RESULTS: 62% D-I will recommend the book. Not the movie. So many fake reviews...

This is not an action Movie, it's more than this, but you have to be willing to catch the message, which is powerful. This is about faith, love and friendship. Is he going to give up, the guy survived the unimaginable, nobody under any "normal" circumstances survives any thing like that, who helped him, 90 minutes gone, declared and confirmed dead by the police and the rescue team, but then one men, a pastor, insisted to pray for "the gone", please don't put this movie in a drawer, there is so much more than entertainment here and worth to think about, the men survived to leave us a testimony, greater than anything, watch carefully
