DVD Reviews of Facing the Giants/FlywheelDVD Review: Great Movies, Great Message Summary: 5 StarsI meant to buy Fireproof with these also and must have clicked on the wrong product. These are great movies with a great Christ centered message.
DVD Review: Finally family entertainment with a Christian message! Summary: 5 StarsWhy did it take so long for someone to do this? These movies, along with Fireproof, are great for all of us to see that God moves in His time and in His ways. I hate to be the lone voice that criticizes the acting but I have to be honest. It gets a little better as you go from Flywheel to Facing the Giants and finally to Fireproof. Don't get me wrong, I have watched these over and over and love the message. I also highly recommend them to anyone (not just believers) who wants a family friendly movie that gets you really involved in the storyline and even has some twists. I did see some of the plot twists coming a mile away but some I didn't.
Again, I have to let you know not to get these two movies expecting a big Hollywood blockbuster with all the trimmings and astounding acting. They did very well for being just plain old folks. Get them for the message and you will not be disappointed.
Flywheel is the first movie they did and Facing is the second. I wish I had watched them in order but I didn't know about Flywheel when I saw Facing the Giants.
In response to one other reviwer's comment re: the characters being "irresponsible" for trying to have a baby when the lead character's job and future was not secure in Facing the Giants, it is a necessary part of the plot and when they start trying, his job is not going so bad. Plus who waits to have a baby when you want one as bad as they do? It was also a kind of leap of Faith for them (just my opinion).
For the guys, let the tears flow. These movies grab you and don't let go. It is amazing what God can, and will, do if we give Him just the smallest of chances. I tried to fight it at first but then gave up and rejoiced at these wonderful depictions of God's grace and mercy toward us. His love is really on display here and it softens even the hardest heart.
DVD Review: good message Summary: 4 StarsI first saw "Fireproof" and then wanted to see the films that came before that one. The message is great in all the movies and becomes very obvious from the beginning. I liked all of them better the second time I watched them, which alot of times I do. They would not appeal to some who are not already Christian. Make sure you watch the extra features, it is amazing all the work and dedication that went into making these movies. Very impressive!
DVD Review: Great to watch and Teach with ... Summary: 5 StarsI so enjoyed both the movies. My friends have come over to watch and we could not stop talking about them after it was over. So nice to have a Christian movie that shows you life can be different than what we normally Facing the Giants: novelization by Eric WilsonFlywheelhave to see when going to watch a movie. So much truth in the story. I guess it shows you don't have to have sex or curse words to sell a story. Yea!!!
DVD Review: Facing the Giants/Flywheel Summary: 5 StarsThese movies are heartwarming, believable real life stories on how Jesus Christ can change a heart and a life. I especially enjoyed that fact that even after a changed life, trials still come and God still works within those trials for His glory.
