Hale, an American astronaut dies and is reincarnated with other persons who have lived throughout all of human history and end up on a mysterious planet called 'Riverworld'. The humans are left to their own devices and create tribal fiefdoms and succumb to brutal wars and raids. A mysterious race of hooded 'beings' oversee them - sometimes intervening, but their motives are unknown. Anyone who has ever lived and died on Earth comes here rather than 'the afterlife', even an extra-terrestrial called Monat, who had the unfortunate luck of dying on planet Earth in 2039. Hale leads a revolt and joins with others on a large boat to explore this mysterious new world.

| 7M PicturesKevin CarrWhile the film has a somewhat cinematic look at times with the background and grander special effects, Riverworld still feels like a TV movie. |
| User ReviewNiels SOne of the worst films I've ever seen... having said that, I loved it. It was oddly compelling... stilted dialogue and completely unconvincing scenarios aside. The message is the thing ! Highly recommend it to anyone capable of finding a diamond in the mud. |
| User ReviewAdrian LI had to say too much time was wasted on confusions... Either the film could have been shorter or it could have endured a longer, fuller story. Not a bad concept though. |
| User ReviewMichaël GPas mal, on passe un bon moment devant ce telefilm. |
| User ReviewAllan HAnother decent effort, but it'll require a big budget to really do this story justice. |
| User ReviewSteve MI have only seen the first half, so I don't want to comment too much, but I have to say that it has been an enjoyable adaptation so far. |
| User ReviewJude Lcan i please have the two hours plus back of my life that i wasted watching this movie? |
| User ReviewJohn TCan anybody tell me what's the point of this movie? Is it that there's no point, somehow? Maybe life indeed is an illusion, nut Stuart Gillard is no Calderon, that's for sure... |
| User ReviewMillo TThe only interest is the appearance of Mark Twain in the story. Mark Twain is interesting everywhere. |
| User ReviewBrian CThis is made for TV poo. Do yourself a favor & turn it off after 5 min. like I did. |
