Eternal Life Without Christ
A big plus for having this movie in the common tongue of the intended audience: English speakers. The world has had a refined and purified English version of the Bible for a good 150 years so I never understand the need to have the story of Jesus Christ remain in dead languages with pagan definitions. The Passion of the Christ comes to mind.
The production value was good and I didn't detect any troubling doctrinal errors much. Would have been nice though if the crosses looked more like a lower-case "t" instead of a capital one. They did good not rehashing the entirety of the crucifixion.
I had assumed that the movie would be about the main character's search for Christ which would end in him finding a resurrected Jesus, however, he finds Jesus midway through the movie. At this point, the settings and the persona of the main character changes which makes it feel like two loosely-connected movies in one. The second half of the movie was mellow without Rome in the picture (with Christ on the scene, I guess you can't expect chaotic drama in your life).
Finally, the biggest issue I had with the movie... it portrayed the gospel without "Jesus Christ". Why have the whole movie in English yet when it comes to the only name by which men are saved, it was obfuscated by the Hebrew pronunciation? No other name in the film was rendered in this manner. The only mention of Jesus you will find is in the special features. Seems like they tried real hard to keep that name hidden. "Mission complete." -Pharisee
