I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I'm not usually so cynical, at least not about movies, but this has got to be one of the worst movies I've seen, ever. My parents got this in a 4-Pk of family DVDs (which was £4 at Tesco), and we decided to watch it for movie night. It was even worse than I thought (and it already looked bad on the packaging). Everything that could be wrong with the movie was wrong.The characters are so unsubtly named. CHRIS, FAITH and HOPE?! Chris is obviously, so obviously, an abbreviation of Christian. And Faith and Hope? Faith and HOPE? Really?!The storyline was awful. The set was awful. The acting was awful. The filming was awful. The effects were awful. The themes were awful. The dialogue was awful. The music score was awful.My parents told me to shut up and give it a chance, but eventually even they said it was terrible.The special effects looked like they were made in the 70s, or by a 9-year-old kid in Microsoft Paint. I watched up until the part where they were in ElectroCity and after that I refused to watch it because it was just SO BAD. Luckily this meant I didn't waste as much time as the rest of my family, but I still lost a decent 45 minutes of my life.Even if it's available for free, DO NOT buy it, ever. It's a complete waste of time and money.The movie also packages itself as a sort of Narnia remake, which is extremely and evidently untrue. In fact, it's heinous to compare such a pile of manure to a series of fabulous fantasy films. The only similarity is that both films are based on novels by highly famous Christian writers.The only people who write good reviews for this on here are either obsessed Christians, were involved in the making of the film, trying to fox you into buying it or just total pot-heads.Conclusion?DO NOT BUY THIS MOVIE EVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

if its the Hollywood grade cgi or the incredible acting this film is by far the greatest film I've ever seen. after watching this film i truly found Jesus and found the strength to quit heroin. the fast pace action film that is the adventures of Chris fable is from start to finish an incredible work of art. 10/10 would bang again

I was perplexed at the nasty campaign of reviews on this site until I realized that they were exactly that, a campaign and all from a very limited/related geographical region. A rather poor campaign (of ignorance) at that, especially as the film's cover explains both that this is a retelling of a FAMOUS (332 years of acclaim) Christian allegory and explicitly quotes Christian Scripture. Having loved John Bunyan's allegorical, though very difficult to read story of Christian's journey from Destruction to the Cross and then on to the Celestial City for most of my life, I enjoyed every minute of this film even (perhaps especially because of) the goofy bits and the Original Doctor Who like special FX. When Christian and Faith are reunited at the end (hardly a spoiler), I actually cried.Despite macro-time and low budget, they still managed to include most major highlights, Destruction, Evangelist, Slough of Despond, Worldly Wiseman, Wicket Gate, Cross & Burden, Giant of Despair, Vainglory, Vanity Fair, Apollyon and Beelzebub and arrows, The River and the Celestial City.They even have Worldly Wiseman introduce himself with a delightfully awful filk of Modern Major General from The Pirates of Penzance, and a parody of The Matrix using hamster wheels!

Don't let the description fool you- this film is slow moving, boring, and with little climax. With the back drop of a "home-movie-feel" and poor acting, this film took me back to remembering when I went to theaters and saw "Time Changer" in 2002... I walked out on it after 30 minutes. (However, this film I didn't have to pay to see. Luckily.) This film would be better set up for church youth to watch, as it would be a more appropriate film there- or a "family movie night" on a Sunday- if you get my drift. But don't expect tears or leaving with a warmth in your heart from everyone. (And if the "christian propaganda" is more your speed, I would try the book it's based on before spending cash on this... js.)
