My review of this film is strictly honest from a film point of view. Can you feel the spirit in a poorly made film? Of course, but that doesn't make it a good film. The only good actor in this film was the man who played the villain (non-LDS by the way). The script was very weak. Jesus looked, talked, and all but acted like any hippie you could find at Woodstock. The film was very contrived, and it is difficult who to blame for this. At times the directing was decent but other times abysmal, so it was probably way over-produced. On the good side, (as I already mentioned) the villain was very, very good. The special effects were well-done, the sound was good, and the soundtrack, although not particularly memorable, was fine. If you're the kind of person who thinks good storytelling is important, this is not the film for you. If you just want to ignore the bad storytelling and feel good about the underlying themes, then you'll do just fine watching it.
