DVD Reviews of Pilgrim's Progress: Journey to Heaven
DVD Review: Good for perhaps elementary beginnings, but much Biblical ignorance
Summary: 2 Stars
We watched this film 3 times, the first time we thought it wasn't as good as the book but it was "okay" for a filmed version. One thing comes thru positively clear, and is truthful, and that is that we are on a journey towards God's Kingdom and not everybody will understand or appreciate that!
Then we watched it again, and thought...boy, the film really makes the Law (the Holy Torah) look bad! On our third watching, many months later, we realized that though Hebrews 5 & 6 admonishes us not to dwell on the "basics & beginnings" of our faith, that this film is pretty much what Modern Christianity does and dwells on in totality..."the basics and beginnings of faith" in God and acts of INITIAL obedience towards a person relationship with Him.
Also, the whole concept of heading for a "celestial-city" is the focus of the film, where you'll be "happy, joyful, and get a crown, with eternal life." Again, those are the beginning basics, but Modern Christianity (in our opinion) focuses on those topics to the UTMOST degree and seminaries take those basics even further by delving into the SAME THINGS thru history, philosophy, geography, and modernity, but never grows beyond these simple things. Any reading of the whole Bible tells you, from Genesis to Revelation, that the place Believers in the God of Israel will go to be near God and enjoy His presence will be the Promised Covenanted Land of Israel. Jerusalem is the ultimate place, according to our Bibles, and not some "unknown, fairy place in the sky" that we fly away to. Without going into a sermon here, on what happens once we meet Mashiakh in the air, i think i've given enough of a picture of why we personally got rid of this film and cannot recommend it. It's rather childish and short-sighted, and often that is dangerous.
It's kind of "flighty," and typical of Modern Christian thought, and the depth and wealth of the Torah are completely bypassed, marginalized, and even condemned. The film pounds people with thoughts of getting to a "celestial city" in this film as if it were the goal at the end of life's road (most Modern Christians think this way because of sad watery teachings), and it therefore reeks of the strumming of harps and floating in clouds type-thoughts (tongue-in-cheek). The Scriptures are clear, that all mankind will exist on the earth and that even a renewed heavens and earth will be created at some point. The Scriptures are even clearer that all mankind will be required to come up to the Lord of Hosts for things like the Feast of Sukkot, "New Moons," and "Sabbaths" in various batches/trips, as THE place we all want to be and THE goal (in being with the Lord). Modern Christianity has been taught a very light, milk-drinking, semi-truthful (i mean that well...as all of this, i'm not trying to condemning anybody!), and VERY SHORT-SIGHTED view of what happens when we are resurrected or when the End of Days arrives (whichever happens first). The "Celestial City" should be Jerusalem, and ultimately the Holy New JERUSALEM with 12 gates for the 12 tribes of Israel, and not some fairy tale thought. Life will go on...but in a more intended capacity, by the Creator's hand.
More than my two cents, but we all say "don't buy."

DRC Films produced this movie, and we manufacture the DVD. All DVDs are NEW and factory sealed. Our goal is to produce Christian movies to strengthen the church and family.

The novel has been heralded as a literary masterpiece around the world, as it has been published in over 100 languages and is the most read book other than the Bible. Amazing visual effects, beautiful locations and a wonderful cast bring to life the story that has inspired each generation for hundreds of years. Follow Christian and his companions on a great Journey from the City of Destruction to the gates of Heaven as they face obstacles large and small, man-made and demon-spawned.
