DVD Reviews of Pilgrim's Progress: Journey to Heaven
DVD Review: Very disappointing attempt on a classic!!
Summary: 2 Stars
The portrayal of this very worthy and well-known classic story is sadly weak. The idea to start it out in a modern setting was perhaps its strongest point. Appolyon is a person dressed in black with a white mask who is neither scary nor dangerous. He makes a person laugh. Why don't film makers do something serious? Appolyon should have looked and sounded like the Balrog in "Lord of the Rings." The armor that Christian is given is a bit of ridiculous plastic. "Prince Caspian," is authentic because he wears real armor. For interesting illustrations for this classic, I would suggest, "Dangerous Journey," William B. Eerdmans, Grand Rapids, Michigan. I would not suggest purchasing this version of "Pilgrim's Progress." This version is a real shame and perhaps could even discredit this allegory of Christian conversion and progression until reaching heaven.DVD Review: Better than I expected, I loved it!
Summary: 5 Stars
Having not read the epic classic I had nothing to compare it against. The movie was very well done. The special effects were very realistic and not overdone. The only weakness I saw was that the gospel seemed to be a bit weak or lacking. It seemed that Christian was often alone on his journey. The portrayal of the demonic forces fighting against Christian was very real. Overall I loved it and would highly recommend it to anyone.DVD Review: Pleased with purchase
Summary: 4 Stars
My wife and child were entertained by the storyline and educated about the christian walk at the same time. Beats a lot of other things that we could have watched in the media in the same amount of time. We will probably show it as an evangelism tool as well.
Amazon makes buying titles like this convenient and quick, and the prices are competitive.
DVD Review: A MUST SEE
Summary: 5 Stars
Everyone should watched this movie. A powerful look at how easily it is to wander off the path to Heaven....You will truly getting a blessing from this movie.DVD Review: Interesting, thoughtful but lacking necessary elements
Summary: 4 Stars
All in all I like this movie more than say "Fireproof" or "Second Glance". They had just too much negativism in the characters...
But there was not as much of this in say "Escape from Hell" or "Final Exit" which were both excellent films and my first choices for discussion with others.
This fim however had trouble keeping you interested and watching. There we always so many questions popping into your mind thus taking you away from the lesson.... It did not give you enough detail and was so long and fairy tale like that it did not have the impact the two above had.
Why did he travel this particular path...but no one else he met had taken the path Pilgram did? Everyone he met came to his path from a different path or directions so it seemed rather than the narrow path there were many paths and some actually allowed people to jump past the trials and tribulations he had to endure...
So is every path different with different temptations or evil characters?
How did they get past or who were all the bad people or creatures they encountered. the traps and dragons and such were not on their paths because they were on the path he took...just didn't make sense.
Surely he couldn't be the only person taking, or on, this path. I understand the concept of you have to walk your own path...but something about it seemed odd.
Where "Escape from Hell" did not have so many questions following the main characters.
The guy in the town that wound up in the castle dungeon with him...how did he get a scroll? Maybe I missed how he got there in the first place.
And the story made the main character just a little bit too nieve after all he had already been through (stupid) when he always made the wrong choices. Like gee, getting a map and NOT looking at it once! And found himself following a guy with a hood he did not identify even when told to do so. Come on.
I liked the move, and the message, don't get me wrong...thus the four star rating...and God knows we need to reach as many people as possible with these types of messages...to watch out for the countless distractions in life...but it might have been great for them to get an average person to read the script or preview the movie and say hey what about this or couldn't you make this more real?
It almost had the feel of a quick make to make money and that would be terrible for a Christian Movie to have that as it's main goal. Not the content of the message or the actions of the plot.
I will undoubtedly watch it again and might cozy up to it more but it did not have the impact on me that "Escape from Hell" did and it had the same main characters.
Still a good watch, maybe for young people with and adult to explain.
