Intriguing idea to use time travel as a backdrop to promote a particular ideology.
While most religions or wings of religious reject science, seeing a film about christianity embracing science and science fiction should be entertaining.
Ultimately, I felt insulted. The actors represented genius or savant level juveniles, (not likely), the script was pure propaganda. the production was student level, the special effects laughable.
Some years ago I watched Man from Earth. Filmed on the smallest of budgets and almost entirely in one room, I was enthralled almost from beginning to end and even thought this jesus might actually have existed, It challenged my thinking, the world of christ and left me feeling as if I'd seen something very important. A masterclass in how to make a masterpiece with very little.
This film didn't encourage me to embrace the narrative by any stretch of the imagination, rather I'll now be FAR more selective in what christian movies I watch on the grounds I don't appreciate being treated like a mindless idiot.
