"Afterlife" is best thought of as a kind of thought experience. The point is not that this can be what we experience after death; It's more that we need to think more about what it is in this life that we would really like to keep with us forever. This point needs emphasis. When asked what we want most in life, most of us will talk about our career, achievements, maybe something else. This movie suggests that these kinds of things can not, at the end of the day, be as important as some other experiences we might have. Either way, it challenges us to rethink what we really value. Much of this film is dedicated to explorations of the lives of a number of fairly ordinary people, trying to identify their most cherished memories. Some critics have condemned the film as boring. It all depends on perspective. If all you want to see is car chases, sex, explosions, special effects ... Avoid this movie. It's just worth noting that the lives and thoughts of others can help us better understand ourselves, so I recommend the film.
