Watch The Case for Christ For Free

Good concept, poorly executed.

A Disappointing Continuation

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This film is for and probably produced by Christians. However, the target audience and production doesn't make for a bad film. There are drawbacks. The film is too long. The audience knows the ending 10 minutes into the film, but it is interesting to watch the journey of an abject non-believer transform into a Christian. Along this line, the film is polarizing from the standpoint of how one feels about Christianity. It proposes that a person (the wife in the film) must be a full-blown bible-beater, even to the point of getting her head dunked. On the other end of the spectrum is the husband, a raging atheist who cannot deal with his wife's transformation. It's all or nothing at all. One aspect of the film I don't think any reviewers touched on: the film takes place in 1980, and the details of the '80's world" are there. Banks of pay phones (today it is hard to find one). Beepers, not cell phones. Manual typewriters instead of computers. These and other touches make the film more believable, from the point of time and place.

No matter what one thinks about the subject, the acting is incredibly well done (even Oscar material, if the Oscars had not been so Lefty controlled). Too many hate it before seeing it because it is about Christianity, but if they had any working brain cells, they would set aside their obvious bias and use the remaining few tiny cells to see that this movie is a surprisingly very well performed fairy tale, without all the glitter (and has a scene with Faye Dunaway). Had I used the same bias attitude when I saw the movie, Prometheus, a 2012 very excellent movie about how life started on Earth, I would have walked out after the first 5 minutes. It is sad that someone is welcomed when going from the Right to the Left, but utterly despised when the reverse happens. Sad, indeed, sad.

Everything you see in this movie falls apart againist two words. PROVE IT!! Science has more truths than this misguided movie.

There are some excellent subplots in this story. It is a love story about a couple who drift apart due to changing values. It's a story about the danger of rushing to judgement and the weakness of our criminal justice system. It is a story about integrity, the willingness to follow evidence wherever it leads, and reject beliefs that are based on false assumptions. I recommend that you actually watch this movie. apparently, some of the reviewers did NOT watch it.
