I enjoyed this film but as a born-again Christian I couldn't help but wonder how many might watch this movie and ask "Could Jesus, in fact, come back the way he does in this film?" The answer is a resounding "NO" "Why?" you might ask "Because my bible tells me differently" would be my answer. I read through these reviews and I realize in the context of the film - its not an "official" return to earth - but the theological misdirect of this film though an entertaining twist, is still of concern to me. My name is Joshua and I would have enjoyed sharing this with Christian singles at my church but cannot do so because entertaining and moving as the film was...its simply not TRUE!
I believe the movie has the potential to transform a hardened heart but theologically its muted, muddy and misleading. Jesus will return and it may surprise us how he does it - but it will be just as described in our Bible - not as interpreted by a well-meaning priestly author or the film director he sold the book rights to. Blessings!
