Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
... View MoreWow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
... View MoreThis is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

... View MoreThis work certainly has a deep respect for the source material and holds true to the mythology of Daniel. Unfortunately, the acting falls flat and is at times downright laughable with the notable exception of the main actor who plays "Old Daniel". I would have liked to see more true to life human reactions to the rather momentous actions taking place along with some deep explorations of humanity in the face of the inevitable rather than the wooden one-dimensional characters presented. It is worth watching if you are looking to get a better feel for the characters in the biblical myth this movie is based on and may even invoke a numinous pondering on the deeper theological questions underlying the literal narrative but don't expect to be blown away. However, flat acting aside, this is still a deeper movie than most of what is coming out of Hollywood.
... View MoreI was eager to see this film, and I purchased it based on your reviews here. All I have to say is shame on you, you know good and well that you are a part of this production, or media group to put up these bias reviews. I was very disappointed in the movie. Obviously no one knows how to properly light a scene, or set up the right camera angle. The costumes were made very poorly, it looks like it is from a Michaels craft store. For anyone to say the special effects were incredible you are lying. Don't lie; the effects were made with a free trial version of some cheap program. The set was obviously made by a church youth group, armed with daisy stencils from once again Michaels, what is up with the daisy stencil covering every square inch of the set. Every so called actor in this disaster came from either the church group or the neighborhood, and posses no professional skills. I try to always look for the best in everything and it appears that you did stay somewhat true to the story. Please don't try to make this out more than it is, which is just an amateur hack job high school talent festival. I am surprised you are not involved in a lawsuit, as you have stolen The Chronicles of Narnia lion on the cover, as well as other artwork.
... View MoreSome of the reviewers for this movie seem to be prejudiced against a biblical movie production. Well, we live in such times where it is popular to dislike anything to do with the creator of the universe. But just like Daniel told the truth to the kings he served, this movie tells the truth better than any Hollywood production ever made. (even "The Ten Commandments" with Charlton Heston.) The is the new #1 Hollywood biblical production. Filmed with excellent and prominent actors and actresses, celebrities and performers. A "Must See" for believers and non-believers alike. This biblical story stands on it's own, even on a tight budget. Bible stories do not require expensive special effects to convey the message. Bravo!!!
... View MoreFirst I will let you know that I'm a Christian, but I'm also a huge movie fan and in my opinion most Christian movies are not that good.The Book of Daniel isn't perfect, but I feel it is well acted, fairly well written and stays true to the story.While there are no real special effects and it is a low budget movie, that doesn't make it bad.Daniel is a person in the Bible that really hasn't had too many turns on the small or big screen, and this is a pretty decent attempt at telling his story and God's story of love for all people. If you go into this movie with an open mind, instead of rejecting it because it is a Biblical movie, you may enjoy it.
