This film is amazing, lovely, I live for it. It's beautiful, awesome, everything good in this world. Kurosawa is an amazing filmmaker and never fails to make me like his movies. I actually don't like his movies I adore them. I don't adore them I love them. It's beautiful, definitely worth to watch.

Observant, Insightful, Philosophical, Genius. I could nit-pick a few things, and have to admit some of his other films are more absolutely "perfect". (Ikiru for one). Yet, this film hits all of the high notes, and leaves you seriously contemplating mankind, it's place in the cosmos, and what that may mean for yourself. There is only one director with such consistent scope, depth, and vision demonstrated over many decades, and encompassing such an extensive body of excellent work. Akira is THE man. TRACE

Geniality is what defines this movie too me. Short stories with one of the best photographies that I've ever saw in a motion picture. I really loved this one and for those who are movie maniacs this is definitely one of the must see of all time. Explendid artwork!

This is a long and extremely slow-moving film in which almost nothing happens. It is quite unlike any other film I've seen. It is characterized by extraordinary photography, and long periods during which very little occurs. There is no plot as such - a series of eight situations (dreams) which are virtually tableaux. From time to time people do things like dance in a stylized Japanese manner for a very long time. This can be quite wearing. However, I sat back, went into a contemplative, meditative state (partial hibernation in fact) and let it wash over me, and I felt it was well worth it.

I have little experience with or knowledge about Kurosawa. However, I have to agree with the naysayers here - this movie is not only slowly paced but often amateurishly staged and acted. The messages are obvious and shallow and the much vaunted visuals seem oddly dated and low budget. Even the conceit of couching segments as drawing from Kurosawa's dreams is ineffective in light of their surprisingly literal dramatization - where is the surreal, subconscious dream logic of, say, David Lynch's "Lost Highway"? Instead, many of the segments are "surreal" in the artificial manner of an episode of The Twilight Zone. Underwhelming.

This film is for sure a unique masterpiece from one of the greatest directors in the history of cinema. This film contains of seven histories that although they seem to be unlinked, they all together story the destruction of the nature as we know it. They show what will happen if humans continue not to respect Earth. But apart from its social message this film has a unique art value. Especially the part with Van Gong (pleasant surprise Martin Scorsese's acting) and the part with the nuclear disaster are very sentimental with a very simple way and the way that Kurosawa shows them is really fantastic! Surely one of the best films of 1990 decade and unfortunately not recognised in its time as usually happen with all great art masterpieces.

It's difficult to put into words how taken aback I was at the beauty and splendor of this film. I was already a Kirosawa fan before I saw this film afterward I was floored. The images stay with you forever. It's difficult to put into words how taken aback I was at the beauty and splendor of this film.

Dreams is a painful movie in many ways. Kurosawa is an old man, and in Dreams, he fumbles about awkwardly, straining ham-fisted metaphors and be-laboring the audience with overt didacticism. It's almost unfathomable how people can bring themselves to fellate such unmitigated garbage, especially when the scope of Kurosawa's filmography contains such a wealth of unquestionably greater films. The glut of positive reviews is a shame. Only people with an shallow, uniformed filmic experience could find this movie to be satisfactory. It's a embarrassing point in Kurosawa's career, and with any luck it will be forgotten and all existing copies will be buried somewhere in the Nevada desert.
