I watched it earlier today and LOVED it. It felt a bit slow at times but it didn’t take away from its greatness! Especially for something in such a low budget (only known because it’s disclosed at the beginning). A lot of us clapped at the end (which also happened at the Jesus Revolution).
My wife and I saw His Only Son today, opening day, and we both struggled to stay awake. It is very slowed paced and the acting was not the best. It is not a captivating movie. There were way way too many scenery shots of the night stars and foggy landscape that came across to me as fillers to lengthen the movie. The downward pointing arrow tattoo on Sarah's forehead and line down her nose and onto her chin with tattoo dots near her eyes were unexplained as to why she was the only one with facial tattoos and it was very distracting. The best part of the movie was the end where the writer/director ties in the OT account of Abraham and Issac to the crucifixion of Jesus and the gospel message. In the intro before the show starts the writer/director comes across as to having a strong love for the Lord and is excited to have made this movie with the hope of having a strong impact.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention! Will check it out. My daughter was named for Isaac's wife Rebecca so hoping for more! (Just so you know, my greatest Christian movie ever is Charlton Heston's Ben Hur, but Risen is not far behind. Just personal preference).
Without watching your review, I just got back from watching the movie, and I have to say, it's a slow burn, but it is good, with some very powerful and profound moments. It's definitely worth watching for any Christian, and perhaps, if you can get your atheist friend to sit through it, they may come closer to God as well.
Just saw this. It was pretty good. A little dry, and could have used a little humor spread out just to humanize the characters. I also was confused by the markings on Sarah's face. I get it's probably some sort of early pagan tradition from before they knew God. But the marks look like the actress fell asleep and someone played a practical joke on her, and they couldn't remove the ink in time for filming. It literally looks like it was done with a ball point pen. My biggest take away is witness just how powerful of a sacrifice Abraham was willing to make, and how God always asks sacrifices from us. And how we struggle to sacrifice some personal pleasures and comforts of life, while Abraham was willing to sacrifice his son. Makes me really think of what I'm am doing. I think all christians should watch this film.
Saw the movie today with my parents. It was really good and makes me want to read the Bible more. Started good conversations. I urge everyone to see it in the theatre. We liked how they did the flashbacks, and normally I don’t like those.
When are they going to tell the truth about the the people but is realize we're black. is in the Bible it tells you a leopard can't change his spot .leave black and come back White. We live in the desert in the Sun so you would be black .😢
The biggest thing I took from the movie (which I saw yesterday) was Abraham worried expression through the movie, but despite his feelings, he obeyed. I give into feelings, but this taught me alot.
Well you be seeing it?? Let me know, and if you DO go see it, come and leave a comment afterwards letting me know what YOU think!

Did you watch the Shift trailer at the end of the movie?
My hubby and I saw it tonight. I am more than willing to support Christian movies. I would see this one more than once.
Nothing will top The Passion

Going to see it with my friends Saturday here in Alberta

Isn't Angel studios ran by Mormons?
I think Abraham look very young for the role

The film dragged to me… but I still enjoyed the telling of the story. Amazing this was done on a shoestring budget!
You speak too fast, and all these hacks then. So stressful and annoying. Thumbs down.

Overall it was a decent film!
It sounds like a powerful movie. I hope to go see it. Thanks for your review. 🙂
Testament is another good movie from Angel Studio, will certainly watch this one
Passion of The Christ was by FAR THR BEST R rated Jesus film ever
Why did the scripture say his one and only son when he had Ishmael? @whaddo you meme. or anyone
This new movie doesn't impress me. And the English speaking sounds AWFUL
The biggest thing I took from the movie (which I saw yesterday) was Abraham worried expression through the movie, but despite his feelings, he obeyed. I give into feelings, but this taught me alot.
Wait. What's the best Christian movie to have come out?
I like these helpful reviews. Thanks for doing them. The title is rather confusing, though.
LOL. I know lots of Americans will loath the slow burn.
Everyone agrees that the standard is being set for better Christian/biblical films whether they are overt or not 😎.
THE OUTRO BRO… THE OUTRO….
I FEEL EMPTY XD
I hope it becomes available to watch where I'm from. Personally I haven't seen a Christian film as good as 'The shack' so far.
The fact that there is more christian cinema coming out right now is GREAT. ❤
