1.5/4
The documentary's rambling good intentions don't meet its goal of presenting an interesting or particularly illuminating view of the universally recognized concept of death anxiety. Go to Full Review

It's initially a huge downer, but it becomes more fascinating as it moves along. Go to Full Review

05/26/2013 Very interesting documentary. See more 02/16/2012 this is a documentary that must be seen, by everyone - it should be a requisite to life... shown in every school... amazing See more 10/15/2011 This fascinating documentary looks at the relationship we have with death and examines how death anxiety is major cause of destructive behaviour. But as bleak as some observations were overall Flight From Death was very life affirming. See more 02/20/2011 The only thing that I didn't like about this documentary is when they talked about the 9/11 terrorist attacks they didn't talk about the "9/11 Twoofers" and their developmentally stunted, fear & hate mongering, tinfoil hat-wearing, Kool-Aid sipping, conspiracy theorizing, delusions & paranoid schizophrenia... Nor did they talk about the hypocrisy expressed by any of these idiots, that they did talk about which was all generalized as well as the one's that they did not talk about. I suppose they didn't want to take a stand against any specific political, religious, cultural, societal, etc., etc., ...philosophies & ideologies, in an attempt make no one, including those from the crackpot idiot fringe sect(s), feel ostracized due to trying to make everyone understand that the issues discussed in this film really do effect us all, and not just indirectly and by proxy but, directly and internally. Me, I'm cynical and politically incorrect. It would have been nice to see them "...spit into the eye of the dragon!" Maybe I'm looking for another documentary in regards to that. I'll keep looking. See more 12/08/2010 A lot of this film was cheesy fluff (particularly the music and general info in the first half), but the experiments examined in the second half regarding how people react in violence toward others of different religions or cultures when reminded of their own death was quite fascinating. I let the whole movie play, but it might be worth skipping through some of the stuff at the beginning. See more 11/07/2010 If Becker is right... You would think that having a hope of eternal life in heaven would make people less violent. See more Read all reviews
