This movie is atrocious. It furthers my belief on why I no longer consider myself to be religious. All of the characters are very black and white without any real personality aside from "I'm mean!" and "I'm nice!" The film is tailored to a Kirk Cameron-style of audience that will eat up this preach to the choir garbage:
"Oh man I know there are angels and a God out there!" "Well, honey, there's not, and I'm not going to give any evidence to back up my beliefs that there's not, but you're not allowed to believe in a God because I said so!"
I find it hilarious that the writers intentionally made it so that there were more reasons to believe in a God than to not, because of some lazy science-fiction portal garbage.
I kid you not, there's a point in the movie where the Christian Grandmother tells the non-Christian mother that she wish she hadn't let her think on her own because she didn't chose the path she wanted her to chose. Fantastic.
I'm not mad that it's a Christian movie - it's just aggravating when certain Christians (like the ones that made this film) unintentionally push away an audience simply by putting us all in one "you must be a very bad person!" category.
I gave this movie a three instead of a one because the actors are certainly invested and trying very hard - you can certainly tell. There's also a lot of extremely funny moments in the movie (and trust me, they weren't intended to be funny) that makes it an enjoyable good-bad movie. Obviously this didn't affect my rating, but there's a guy from The Dark Knight in this, so that's cool.
Overall I would suggest this if you want an enjoyable good-bad movie with a lot of unintentionally hilarious moments, otherwise if you're a devout Catholic that enjoys Christian movies but doesn't really care about poor acting or poor writing, than I would suggest this to you as well.
