After his true love (Isabel Glasser) falls in a coma, test pilot Daniel McCormick (Mel Gibson) undergoes suspended animation in a military experiment conducted by his friend Harry Finley (George Wendt), supposed to last a year. A series of mishaps result in McCormick's being all but forgotten and, 53 years later, a young boy (Elijah Wood) accidentally frees a confused McCormick, who eventually lives with him and his mother (Jamie Lee Curtis). However, complications arise from the experiment.

A ripoff screenplay as shameless as this might survive if the casting were particularly good.

Relying on his star name, the film doesn't have to be great and isn't, although Gibson and Curtis try their hardest.

Remarkably, the director manages to toe the line of melodrama without ever slipping over into camp, balancing those elements with humor and suspense to carry "Forever Young," if not over the moon, at least up in the clouds.

2.5/5

There’s no emotional epiphany of the mistake he might have made, just a rom-com-esque race against the clock that’s more a showcase for what could be done with make-up to rapidly age a character...

Hollywood used to churn out this kind of fluff with practised ease and it's a pity director Steve Miner couldn't have found the same winning formula here.

فلم حلو. القصة كفكرة جيدة لكن حواراتها سطحية وحبكتها بسيطة . الممثلين ادائهم جيد. البطل ادائة ممتاز لكن حضورة اقوى لكن تحس ان اكبر من الفلم . بعض الشخصيات الثانوية ادائها ضعيف و ودات فعلهم مبالغ بها . الاخراج مقبول في البداية سرد احداث القصة بشكل سريع ثم انتقل الى السرد المتزن و ستمر على هذا السرد حتى النهاية بين قوسين اخراج كان تقليدي و محافظ. التصوير كان جيد جدا و الكامرة تتحرك بشكل سلس مع الوان زاهية خلتني كمشاهد اشعر بالدفىء. الموسيقى كانت جيدة ومناسبة للمشهد و تخدم الفلم بشكل رائع. بختصار الفلم دافىء ذا حبكة بسيطة و اجواء جميلة .

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

What Forever Young lacked in scientific plausibility - it made up for in the decency of humans and the lost era of kindness.

Aging poorly by the second, Forever Young takes its premise of a man out of time far too seriously.
