Waste of time

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Sadly Over-hyped

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

My husband and I viewed this movie prior to visiting Jerusalem in March 2014. We loved this movie, and are going to show it for our annual family Christmas party. We are taking all of our children and grandchildren to Jerusalem in December. This will give everyone a chance to view the culture before we go. A must see!

I had a nice time watching Jerusalem, the aerial shots of Palestine and Jerusalem gives an artistic and beautiful look on the country and makes you really want to see this piece of heaven.The film starts in introducing the three major religions in the country starting with the oldest (the Jewish) and ending with the newest (islam), and each religion is introduced by a teenage girl from each religion and culture.To be honest as a Muslim i learned a couple of things about how other religions see the holy city, i cannot verify nor deny the accuracy of Jewish and Christian information presented in the film, I can say that Islamic fact was mostly true but the film was short and the Islamic (and Christian) side of the city was really shallow presented, i liked how it talked about the month of Ramadan and "the dome of the rock" but it didn't mention the "far mosque" to the side of "the dome of the rock" which is important as well in our religion. I saw a familiar culture And faces looking like us in the Muslim side of the city making me want to visit the city even more.The film also tackles an important issue in the culture of the city at the end which is getting to know other religion people and stating that we have a lot in common, of course what is preventing such blend is the political conflict happening in the city and the country in general, i loved seeing the city without Israelis police and checkpoints between every two checkpoints in the city which we see in news.I would like to state my opinion in the Palestinian - Israeli conflict, as the film states the Jews return to the city making {aliaa': going to a higher place} and searching for the lost temple which was destroyed, well, we have no problem of Jews coming to Palestine, but to problem starts when Britain gave the country to Israel and they killed and removed the native citizens out of their homes, some died in 1948,1967 and other wars, and many emigrated to Jordan with a strong will in their hearts to return to their land, i hope we find a solution where Palestinians return to their homes, lands are returned, and digging and attempts to destroy our mosques are stopped, then we can have a peaceful blend of cultures that really suites the holy city.Mohamad karasneh Jordan

Jerusalem is the kind of film usually displayed on shopping center to advertise the new flat or curved television set. It's an undeniable graphical masterpiece as every shot is done with such precise cinematography. Its frame, composition of scenery, the contrasting shadow and lighting, one can take a random screenshot and it would be an impressive work of photography.The documentary takes audience through walks and lives of the holy city's citizens. It mainly tells the culture of three different major religions from perspectives of young women. They depict the city and its meaning to them, both personally and culturally while Benedict Cumberbatch narrates how the place came to be.It's a grand view of many corners and landmarks, taken in such angle that it is simply immersive. The high rise scene is gorgeous, meanwhile the first person perspective, especially when the camera walks through gates of houses, mosques or churches, is intimately welcoming. Every shot is taken with purpose and they are never out of focus, it offers a steady pace throughout the entire visual marvel.Granted, it doesn't cover much of the more bloody history, yet this is meant for a testament of human cultures and celebration of life. It's simply a marvelous display of excellent cinematography, regardless of one's faith.

As one of great Faith in the Christian beliefs, I went knowing I would see and experience the mother land - Jerusalem, Israel. Growing up, like many, I have heard of the many stories of Christ Jesus and the many amazing works recorded in the Bible. As you can imagine, this was only a historic imagery I could only grasp through the retelling of events that happened many many years ago. So when I was up early this morning at 5:30am I wondered what I would do with my day off during the long Easter break. I looked up movies that I could go an watch and came across the Jerusalem 3D IMAX screening. This was surely a divine appointment for me to go and see this film as I had no intention prior to today to see this film nor go see a movie or even go out. I went on my own to this film and had never regretted the choice to make the long journey into the city to watch Jerusalem. It was an awe inspiring film with majestic panoramic views of Israel's beautiful landscape. The very opening moments of the intro over whelmed me and I was in tears through out the film as I was exposed to the wondrous splendour Jerusalem presented. I saw the ruins and monuments, the reconstructions of famous sites and buildings and also the people of Jerusalem. The history behind Israel was wonderfully narrated as I took in the realisation that this was the centre focal point of the 3 power faiths - Jewish,Muslim & Christian faiths are all rooted here in this Holy Land. I went away knowing so much in the 45min film and was equipped with inspiration and drive to one day visit Jerusalem,Israel. My heart automatically yearned for Jerusalem and I instantly fell in love with her grace and precious priceless value. I was deeply moved watching Jerusalem due to my spiritual ties to Israel and my strong love for Christ as this was the place he spent his last few days leading into the festival we celebrate, Easter. I encourage all to see who have the chance to view this on the big screen. A must see in my opinion. Thanks for reading. Hopefully I'm writing about My own experience about Jerusalem once I fulfil a dream to make a trip there and retell it from my own personal account.
