a sermon not a movie
29 October 2005
One if the things I was upset about was the fact that there was no warning on the box in the video store about what this movie was really about. What are they afraid of - rejection ? I thought Christianity was stronger than that. I watched the movie from front to back, hoping for a redeeming factor, but there was none. Poor acting, long boring sequences, simplistic ideas, not a real or original plot, nothing to "think about", and frankly, in this genre, I've seen wonderful movies - although they were made in the fifties and sixties of the last century. If you think about it, there are many television shows these days with similar themes, but the honest ones are all on the tel-evangelical channels, where they aren't afraid to say who they are - right up front. Movies should always have an entertainment factor, even if they are serious. If they bill themselves as Documentaries or other genres, that's different. And if proselytizing is the goal, then this failed miserably as well. I would recommend that viewers think twice about spending their hard earned money on this film, it doesn't deserve to be on the shelf of my video store. Now if they had a section called..." Religious Films" that would be a different story.
