Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

not as good as all the hype

Expected more

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Not Great, Not Bad. Better than most of these type films. My issue is with these reviews that ridicule the Science. If the Science is flawed please explain how. Using "crackerjack" Box and such explains nothing I am curious if you know this for a fact or in typical Liberal fashion you just hate religion and people who have Faith. I personally believe that God and Science are not at odds. The scientist who lead the team that cracked the Human Genome believes in a Creator and his book is called "The language of God". Im not making the argument that there is or is not a God. Just the point that Science does not necessarily disprove a Creator

Well written and thought provoking story. Presents the case between science and Biblical truth in a way that is easy to understand. HIghly recommended. Kudos to the film makers for tackling this difficult subject matter. This is an important film that the Christian community should support. I look forward to it being at theaters across the country, and then available on DVD. This film is a real step up in Christian film making and is a quality production. Very impressed with the quality of actors in this film. Glad to see that Ernest Borgnine is still making movies! Great film for small group studies on how the Biblical account and science are harmonious in the origin of life. Want to see more quality Christian films being made. I hope this production company plans to make more films of this nature. I plan to purchase a copy when the DVD is released to use in small groups at my home. Excellent information.

Loved it. Finally a movie I can take the kids to that isn't filled with Hollywood morals (or lack of). I really liked how it showed that science and the bible don't have to be in conflict. I'm sure there are scientist and biblical literalists out there who will have a fit with this movie, but to me, "reasonably intelligent average Joe Christian" it provided some good explanations to questions that have always been in the back of my mind. Especially loved the preacher in the movie. I know a few personally and they are "real people" with faults and everything. So many times Hollywood either represents them as bumbling idiots or self-righteous saints. The preacher in this movie seemed much more like the ones I know.

I think anyone reading IMDb reviews of this film should be aware that as of this posting, there are 3 reviews. Two of which think the film is awful and one thinks it's wonderful. It's important to note that "wonderful" review was made by someone involved with the film and it's public relations. The username given "markv22" is surely the same person who runs the Genesis Code facebook page with the same name and initial. I'm a Christian who has tried very hard to balance secular and scientific fact with my belief in the Bible and I thought this movie not only panders to the Christian crowd but also does it a great disservice. Anyone with the most rudimentary knowledge of cosmology or even someone with the ability to search wikipedia would know this film's "science" is about as real as episode of Lost in Space. Sure, it throws around names and jargon to make someone without a science background think "Oh, they just mentioned Einstein or Cosmic Background Radiation, this is smart stuff!" but so does any episode of Star Trek and it doesn't make the Federation any more real. Even still, a false premise can still be well-told or entertaining but unfortunately, The Genesis Code is neither. The story is disjointed and scattered and doesn't know if it wants to be an Afterschool Special, science lecture, or propaganda. The dialogue isn't natural at all and the characters are flat and/or stereotypes (the black guy, the Asian girl, and the Jewish kid all have their stereotypical lines or back stories) while the secular school dean is a borderline Nazi. Add to that a story in which the protagonist's mother is on death's bed but we must stop now and have a wacky romp through a museum for what feels like a full act of the film that only seems to try and showcase how much the writer knows and not move the story anywhere but to a stop. The editing and pace drag from one scene to another as if you were being shown a collection of keepsakes to which only the owner has any connection. The positives of this film are how rich it looks on what (I hope) was a small budget. It certainly feels large for this kind of film. The acting is pretty decent as well, considering the dialogue and I think the main cast does a good job with this material. I saw it in its limited release in Michigan and I unless it is further edited (I don't know if this film was in a somewhat test audience stage or what), I couldn't recommend it...to anyone.
