Refreshing to see a Christian-based movie that is done with quality writing/acting/production. I went to support the movie but expecting the same old lame and wooden 'Christian' movie experience, but came away very impressed with all aspects.
A little pointed, of course, but not far off what kids would face in today's university at times. Love the comments/reviews here so angry at touching on the raw nerves of truth. Nice that the 'artistic license' is on the other foot for one time (in movies/TV/etc)...and just listen to the howls (see other reviews here).
The flow and point of the movie wasn't actually heavy-handed (sensitive raw nerves excluded), but went to the point of Christianity and the God-given right of freewill, along the way refuting the sophomoric-yet-ultimate 'show-stopper' argument of moralistic-atheists, 'How can a God who is (considered) good allow bad?'.
Overall, accomplishes the point of any good movie... fine acting/writing, and promotes thought and discussion.
