   I’ve seen this movie recently. I can honestly say that I was pleasantly surprised to see a clean movie that had suspense, drama and action. No matter what you do on a Sunday, this movie will be entertaining. Sure it might not have had the $100 Million dollar budget that Hollywood usually produces, but I can tell you it didn’t have other things too. For example, it didn’t have sex, swearing, nudity, innuendo’s, blood, gore, senseless violence and the typical garbage that the majority of ticket buyers sell their souls for every Friday.

   A movie screen is a very powerful tool. For Christians, passing along a positive message is always a good thing and a responsibility. Why not the positive word of God? After seeing this film, if a non-believer or someone who has strayed from God starts asking questions to a friend or someone who has accepted the Lord, budget or no budget, it is worth the effort. I imagine the producers of this film were not thinking about Hollywood when they were making this movie. That’s the point.

   The movie is not marketed at the theater as a Christian film. Even though it is a Christian production, God is only the message, don’t ignore the storyline. It is well written and holds up its own with the recipe of a good story. I can tell anyone that it does not use scare tactics to convert anyone and I saw no evidence of spiritual warfare. These terms have been unfairly used in this blog. This is yet another example of making assumptions before you find out the facts. The devil in the movie is portrayed not as a main character but more as a symbol of the young girls fear. So, don’t believe everything you read on the Internet. This might be the only case that seeing is believing!

   Still, after all the negative comments that these bloggers and commentary have spread on the net, they are trashing a good movie that they never seen. Doesn’t anyone think twice to question that? Does that make sense to anyone? Go see it for yourself. You be the judge and don’t let anyone dictate or make decisions for you. Find out for yourself what the movie is all about. It is by no means a Bible thumping flick, but a true good spirited, entertaining 89 minutes. Truthfully, it only leads me to conclude that the negative people in these blogs have a real need to see this movie.

   If it is a Hollywood $100 Million+ film that you demand, then I will stand proud outside of the stuck up Starbuck’s line. Movies do not have to be blockbusters or have high over exceeding budgets to be a good picture to see. Can anyone tell me the last time you could take the whole family to see a film without slamming into any of the uncomfortable situations that are named above? Cartoon animations don’t count. Anyone? Anyone? Take a second to think about. It’s sad.

   I’m suggesting to anyone reading this to step out of their assimilated Hollywood, Starbucks line and grow a little intellectually and maybe a little spiritually. If you are one of the negative commentators, please stand up and show us all that you are the bigger person. Just don’t sit there behind your laptop eating Doritos in your three day old T shirt and completely afraid of something new and nothing to do with yourself but be negative to things you have never seen or experienced. See the light…it’s just outside your bedroom door. Go toward the light.

   One more thing. Trailers are meant for “teasing” potential audiences. A commercial. It is designed to entice or intrigue people. Today, more times than not, after watching a trailer on TV, you almost come away with the entire storyline. Why do that? If I was going to skip a movie, it would because of those trailers. Then again, I never judge a book by it cover.

   Peace.

   As I read all these negative comments from people that have not seen the movie, I can’t help but think, you might want to step away from your online girlfriends, put on your grown up pants and either see the movie and then make a comment, or go back to playing Warcraft. Some of you probably shouldn’t go because it doesn’t have sex or a disgusting and degrading content. You will be bored with a wonderfully intense story well told by talented people. Oh yeah, and the movie will reach the lost souls and encourage mankind to maybe stop destroying each other.
