Masterful Movie
... View MoreSimple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
... View MoreGreat movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
... View MoreVery good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
... View MoreI'm an INC member, but I still have enough of a brain to see that this is nothing but self-serving propaganda for an organization that's increasingly revealing itself to be the cult that we always denied that we were...Perhaps it's blind devotion, perhaps it's the fear of being punished, perhaps it's simply because this organization is the only place where some church members feel a sense of belonging; whatever the reason, the fact that people can't acknowledge that there is something wrong with the blatant corruption, intimidation, and power-mongering in the church is truly disheartening. Rather than clamouring for change, they come to IMDb instead, to lavish praise on a boring, unfocused movie, just because they feel it is their duty to do so.On the positive side, Dennis Trillo gives a solid performance, as usual. But it's not nearly enough to salvage the 3 hours of time that would have been better spent on... well, anything else, really.I realize my voice will probably be lost amidst the raves and fanfare and EVM chants... So remember: always go to church, don't forget to put money (bills, not coins!) in the money pouches, and - most importantly - obey your leaders and never question them, no matter what crimes and human rights violations they commit, because they were placed there by God, which pretty much gives them the right to do whatever they want, laws and human decency be damned.
... View MoreFelix Y. Manalo was a Filipino, and so am I. It is hard not to be proud at what he achieved. I know he could not have done so without the deepest of conviction, unshakable courage and the will to endure. A film that is about historical figure who fought for what he believes in.Joel Lamangan, the director, gained my deepest respect for his craft and talent.Everyone should watch this movie about the courage of one Filipino who dedicated his life to seek such truth about his belief. SUPERB!!!Felix Y. Manalo was a Filipino, and so am I. It is hard not to be proud at what he achieved.

... View MoreTo start with, the movie is a propaganda of lies. Funded by the cult itself, their brainwashed members are forced to watch the movie (otherwise they will be kicked out of the cult), and then some more. Movie-wise, just plain stupid. Such a waste of talent from the Philippines. But hey, money talks.The movie does not show the rape scene of Rosita Trillanes by none other than Felix Manalo. This movie is such a blunder that all their cult members rallied to IMDb to give a perfect 10 rating to this horrible, horrible film. People from around the world, please stay away from this rubbish. Iglesia Ni Cristo is a cult from the Philippines with brainwashed members around the world claiming that they're the only ones going to heaven. LOL right?you don't believe me? check all the perfect 10 reviews for this movie. most of the accounts were created just a few days ago (after the screening of the movie). and their flock is known for that: blind obedience for the promise of heaven! :)
... View MoreI've watched the movie twice (First on Premiere Night and first Saturday of its release) and it was great! it portrays the early classic era of Philippine History. INC has so many haters in its own country but it managed to last up to 100 years and it became powerful. The story is about the founder of INC who resist the obstacles and challenges of the society who is eager to persecute his faith despite his objective of bringing the true church written on the bible. As of today these things are continuously on the works, attempting to bring down the church and is always envying its victory to all walks of life. No one can convert anyone into something but just himself. i am inviting everybody to come see the movie in flesh before speaking things they don't have any proof of.Everyone is invited to our church gatherings after seeing this movie:)
