This movie is one of the movies of Mel Gibsons past prime. Tells the story of a couple separated by time in a very unconventional way. It isnt of of Mels greatest films but its not a bad movie and definitly worth watching by a Mel Gibson fan or just anyone interested in this type of genreChances missed. - Scotched
A small tearjerker of a movie. Enjoyable, especially when shared with a special someone.
'Forever' tries to tell both a 'boy's story' about finding a frozen man, and also a 'love regained' story.
The two interfere with each other.
Mel's playfulness captures the kids, but the 'love regained' seems like afterthought.
Love should never be an afterthought.
This is a good watch, but an even better one would be "Chances Are".
Three stars of a possible five.ageless as timeless - movie_goer
