Junk. History of a house from slime to current day in many many boring vignettes.

A technically stunning, though narratively vapid experience. It's soap for the current elderly - the baby boomers searching for the most banal facets of life and death. It didn't help that it was also painfully boring.

Robert Zemeckis loves trying out new technology for his projects. Whether it was the blend of animation and live action in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", the blend of old footage with new characters in "Forrest Gump" or the nightmare fuel he tried in "Polar Express", Zemeckis likes to push the envelope with technology. This time his new toy centers around a film that takes place in a single camera location but over the span of generations. This includes a lot of camera tricks and de-aging effects for Tom Hanks and Robin Wright. Yes, its the team that brought us "Forrest Gump" back again. I applaud the movie for its special effects and for being a tight 100-minute runtime. But the movie comes across more as a tech demo for what this technology can do. There are too many stories going on for any of them to be given any emotional weight. We are only getting glimpses into these lives, and consequently we see some of the end results, but we don't see the emotional beats that lead us there. Ironically, a film that is all in one spot, is a bit too all over the place.

I loved this movie! Having grown up in a 100 year old house, I can really appreciate this movie. I really enjoyed the story telling. Great movie

I loved it. I think you have to be older to appreciate the message of this movie. Time & family are so precious. It goes by fast! I really thought it was genius to include so many flash backs through time all in the same location. Fascinating. In the end, you really realize what is most important & all your regrets too. I could relate with many scenes. Time to take that trip or start that hobby!

This movie really showed how quickly life passes by and the how precious those times are with our family and loved ones. How we let years fly by and focus on things that don't matter in the end. Really made me think about life and embracing all those moments that we will look back on and treasure. The part I didn't like, was the black family's speech about police to their son, that was totally out of place and felt like they put it in to virtue signal. Should have been removed.

This is a fine, small movie. It's like coming across someone's family photos and trying to understand their lives. Only the someone is a place and a home. If you want characters and plot, this isn't for you. It's like a filmed collage. Try to ignore the famous actors, writers, and director Don't think about the fancy technology. It is much better on DVD or streaming, since there are so many moments that go by too quickly to appreciate; I stopped and went back many times. Maybe you have to be old(er) to appreciate it; it frequently jogged memories of my own life and places I've lived, similar and different. I missed it in theaters but I'm glad I remembered to find it at the library.

**Here – 3 Stars** As a massive *Forrest Gump* fan, I had sky-high hopes for *Here*. I mean, Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, and Zemeckis teaming up again? That’s the dream team. The premise is super creative—one camera angle, watching time pass through a single spot in a house. Alan Silvestri’s score? Absolutely beautiful, giving every moment an extra emotional punch. But honestly, I expected something different. I thought it’d focus more on Hanks and Wright’s family, not jump across so many generations. That broader scope made it feel a bit distant, even though it’s visually impressive. It’s definitely a Zemeckis movie: warm, inventive, and easy to watch. I had a good time, no regrets. But I can’t shake the feeling it could’ve hit harder emotionally if it stuck closer to its leads. Still, it’s a solid, unique film that fans of heartfelt cinema will enjoy… just not *love*.

This movie is depressing. Not in an emotionally impactful way, but in a way that makes you feel regret for wasting 1.5 hours of your life on this film to only feel shitty about yourself in the end.

I thought it was pretty good and interesting.
