What is the ruling on watching fictional video clips of Paradise and Hellfire, designed for imagination rather than reality, to instill fear and hope?

If it is determined that depicting Paradise and Hell is forbidden, then viewing them is also forbidden; because it is well-known among many jurists that it is forbidden to view what is forbidden. So, everything whose action is forbidden, it is also forbidden to watch, because that implies approval of it and assistance in sin.
