Watch Echoes of Innocence For Free

Good concept, poorly executed.

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

I really love the story in this movie, it is superb, and heart-wrenching. I must admit that there is at least one aspect that is a bit confusing, and makes no sense. But overall, this movie is certainly worth seeing. The acting is especially superb. I must say, I cried hysterically during one of the more touching scenes with Cody Linley, and at the end (I won't say why, not to give anything away)- Also, the guy who plays David fit very well into this film, and added just the right touch to make the movie even better. Out of all the movies I have ever seen in my entire life, none ever made me cry as hard as I did during this one. I can't explain it, but there is something about the acting that really connects you to the film, and helps you really feel what the characters are feeling, which is a very important aspect of film. I suggest you grab a box of crying tissues, lay back, relax, and enjoy this touching film. I know it really changed my outlook on life, and no movie has ever been able to tug at me like that before. If are a big fan of love stories, than this is a must-see. I highly recommend it.

This movie is great! As an independent film it stands out far from Hollywood pictures as one that actually has a moral standard! The great thing about the film though, is that morality is not the star of the show. The decision of the main character to remain a virgin until marriage (which, contrary to popular belief, is a GOOD thing) is of course discussed and is a part of her character, but she is by no means preaching from a soapbox, it's simply who she is.It is a love story with a lot of mystery and action thrown in the mix, and the love story happens to center around a virgin. Yes, love stories can be told without sex! This is also a very refreshing portrayal, and a more realistic one, than that of movies like "A Walk to Remember" where social recluse Mandy Moore tip toes around her school in a floor-length overall dress and goes nuts when she gets a new cardigan. In Echoes of Innocence, Sarah has real problems to deal with and does so realistically. She makes mistakes and she struggles with her faith.Considering the budget of this film, the quality of the final product is a modern-day miracle.Go see it. If not in theaters, get it when it comes out on DVD!

Wow, where to begin. So I headed into this movie unsure of what to expect, and nothing could've prepared me for the immense pain that soon followed. The first and last ten minutes are a good chuckle, because of the complete awfulness of it all. The acting is the worst i've seen, the directing is just flat out terrible, and this is probably the worst film making ever. The story is so ridiculous in every way, if i were beaten with a stick and forcefully fed LSD i could've still written a better story. SPOILER The ending changes from being an abstinence moralled movie to, them getting married, (both being abstinent), then having sex on their wedding night and somehow, don't ask me how because it baffles me, they still...end up in hell END SPOILER So near the end of the movie I took a pen out of my pocket, and shoved it into my chest. Why? Because if I were going to be in that much pain, I wanted to do it myself.

If you really need another hit of "send money, guns and drugs" corruption, then avoid this film at all costs! Although the story covers all three of these fleetingly, none of them are the basis for the storyline here.This is a story about hope and despair, love and challenges, testing and caring for the real-life needs of others. For youthful audience members, the story itself is engrossing. I sat in one dark theater and listened to the comments and reactions of the young teen in front of me. Her emotions covered the spectrum from fear and sadness to the kind of uncomplicated happiness that we all long for, if we only knew...For mature audiences, the archetypes and subtexts of the story are deeply provocative on many levels. Complicated issues are covered with compassion and sensitivity in a very contemporary POV.This movie ROCKS on all counts: story, music, acting, directing, drama, cinematography, lighting, soundtrack, artistic endeavor -- it's got everything you want in a family friendly format AND -- BONUS -- no sacrifice of quality on any dimension! The last film I saw that was as simply *beautiful* as this was probably "Girl With a Pearl Earring".Go! Enjoy! Invite your friends and loved ones! Share the love...
