spoiler alert! well, i liked the story of this movie despite having been told not as good as it could have been given a different director perhaps, you know, one without a soap-opera tendencies ...

characters are well rendered, choice of actors and actresses, location, music, twist and turn of the events the way they did with the young girl resurrected after so many years and her now-old romantic husband still waiting for her 'return' and all that ...

i even loved the idea of "today is the first day of the rest of your life" and the fact that the girl promptly realizes she'd better go on rather than stay affectionate to an old dead husband ... (after all, that was the husband wanted too, right?) but, just for the sakes of a romantic fable told to impress people who love to sacrifice for the loves of their lives, couldn't the girl demand in the end (ask at least) the doctor for example, to see if (now that she was living in the 21st century with all the advancements in science and technology that had revived her too) maybe there was a way to hibernate the man's body for a later time in the future and a probable revival from death, so that both of them could live together as an old couple, however for a very short while? or maybe bring them both back their youths so to say maybe? you know, that sort of silly childish hopes romantic lovers do have at times i mean ...

yes, i know this does sound so ridiculous, but the way this story goes in this movie, then why not? ;-) overall, i believe this movie could have been made much better than this even in its own time ...
