AT FIRST SIGHT (1999). In spite of a plodding script and banal dialogue, this movie is very enjoyable for me, because it is well shot visually to convey the story of a blind man (Val Kilmer) and his budding romance with the beautiful Mira Sorvino). It has some beautiful ordinary scenery (a frozen pond, an old rickety house surrounded by old-growth trees, etc.). I liked this film, having seen Mira Sorvino in several other films, some poorly acted (like THE PRESENCE and ANGEL OF DEATH). Mira Sorvino plays these romantic roles best, for example, (LIKE DANDELION DUST (2009), and Best Supporting Actress OSCAR in MIGHTY APHRODITE (1996), and her "fetching beauty" role-playing (plus, some great acting by all three females!) in WISE GIRLS (2002). Mira Sorvino plays this part in AT FIRST SIGHT (1999), beautifully and is believable as the young woman who falls in love with the blind man, Val Kilmer. If you're a Mira Sorvino Fan, this is one of the three best films of her that I have seen out of perhaps 8-9! Nevertheless, for critics, this is an "unexciting" romance of a movie. I, myself, just personally, like the story and the way the story develops to tell of the difficulties presented through time. I prefer to not judge this film on the basis of "standardized Romance-films," many of the Best being tear-jerkers or pulling certain Romantic heart-strings and/or-emotions. This is NOT one of those -- even if it was made in 1999 as one of that genre. Instead, having seen this film originally in the theatres and on TV several times, a few years apart each time, it holds my attention and pleasure in watching this story unfold each time and being told VISUALLY, not having to read it in printed words, which is an altogether DIFFERENT experience! I don't know of any other similar film because Val Kilmer does a good job with his character, too! -- for my tastes, anyways. This is why I have finally purchased this film on DVD,... Because, I'd like to see it "on-my-demand," whenever I get in the mood, again!

I love movie i Watch the movie over and overi also love people pick for movie

This is a good movie and good acting. It's tragic for someone to not be able see and then been given a surgery to improve that issue, but then turn dark again.
