Best movie of this year hands down!

One of my all time favorites.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

A science fiction movie that is basically a dialogue between university professors. No visual effects, no CGI, no fancy camera movements, just a very interesting conversation that captivates your attention and your brain.Just try to watch it with an open mind

I was intrigued by the bare synopsis and the reviews here. So I watched it and overall I was disappointed in it.First off, it's not science fiction. There was no science in it at all. It had a fantastical premise we are asked to believe just because it might be possible biological gobbledy gook, blah, blah, liver, cells regenerate, yada yada yada. "Blah, blah" and "gobbledy gook" do not science fiction make. The premise of the story was fantasy.But that's fine. Nothing wrong with fantasy. But the story lost me when it began talking about somethings I do know a lot about, and that's Religion, the Bible, Jesus, and Christianity. Suddenly this isn't just a story about a guy claiming to be 14,000 years old. Now this is a movie about a guy claiming to be perhaps the most important figure in all of recorded human history. And guess what? Everything people think they know and believe about him is wrong and the most pivotal figure in the history of Western civilization is only pivotal and important because, Oops! everybody around him got it all wrong! And here you sit with him as he's telling his friends how badly history screwed up his story and how he never intended anyone to start a world religion.What frustrated me the most is, any first year student of apologetics could easily dismantle everything he was saying but this movie didn't give anyone that chance. The only person who was personally affected by his alleged "revelation" could not offer even one rational, historical, or philosophical reply to the truly outrageous claims he was making. THAT was frustrating.Anyway, I don't want to get into all the minutia of apologetics while reviewing a movie. This is a review after all. So in conclusion let me just say, It was an interesting premise and setup but the payoff was sadly lacking. The historical claims of Jesus the Christ are not so easily disposed of and certainly not in the last 25 minutes of an 87 minute movie.

I must say that this is an interesting premise with an engrossing story line for the first 2/3rd of the movie. The philosophical debates are interesting, relevant, and realistic. Unfortunately, with about 30 minutes to go, the plot goes dreadfully wrong, and turns into a 30 minute long assault (with many assumptions presented as facts) against anyone who might believe in a higher being or human spirit. Hardly no religion is spared, as the blow after body blow are delivered under the guise of an intellectual debate among a group of college professors. It honestly spoiled what was a very good movie up until that moment: Being a credible witness to the entire history of human civilization, into being central person of interest for nearly all tangible human achievement.It shows a stunning lack of imagination by the writers.Had the movie continued as it started, I would have given it probably 8 or 9 stars.

Starting off, I can say that this movie made me who I am today, an Atheist. I couldn't be more grateful that such a movie exists and I would like to thank all the ones that took the initiative to create such masterpiece.
