Encountering "The Encounter", part two...

After watching The Encounter (movie), and really enjoying it, I was game to watch this second one. While different in plot, style, and follow-through, I enjoyed it just as much as the first one. The real-life trials the characters were going through added to the reality. I really enjoyed it. Bruce Marchiano's modern-day portrayal of Jesus. He is warm and friendly, and gives a loving touch to the relationship Jesus Christ desires to have with each one of us.

I was disappointed with this sequel - but loved the original

I can't say it was a bad movie. I just can't say it was an original or good movie. I think that's what disappoints me with it.

The original Encounter was like a parable. I didn't take it literally, and the simple staging worked well with the metaphorical presentation that made you think about you and your personal relationship with your savior. This one drowns in scenery and detail. We have the Boxing Day typhoon in Thailand as history. We have a whole background story of action from a mafia movie, the drug dealer, the cop, etc. We have the lush and lovely background of Phukett, Thailand and those beautiful beaches. Worst of all, we have the not at all well done fight scenes. All of that distracted from the beautifully simple message of the original.

Paradise Lost and Found

I just watched Paradise Lost and, I admit, I cried a few times. I liked it just as much as the first (maybe even a bit more). The conclusion was a lot better than the first. I know that the characters were different from the norm of what you'd see at an American cafe, but each character represented the experiences of multitudes of people around the world: empty and addicted to drugs, believing that...pain is an illusion/that through thousands of lifetimes, one can get redeemed, selling drugs to get rich, sold into sexual slavery, full of bitterness, sadness and despair/losing one's faith due to loss of a child or loved one, etc. Good to see David A.R. White playing the role of the police officer in Thailand. That Jason Statham-esque scene was well-coordinated by the way!

Maybe not as good as the first but it is good

With Christian films (and all faith films) when they get a hit (the original) the sequels are normally not anywhere near as good, this one is different. It may not be as good as the original but it's worth the watch. Maybe should have been a two part episode in the tv series instead.

Very poor film

Poor acting, weak plot and despite going to a beautiful place the camera work is also poor. Do American people really think that an American DEA officer can use a gun here? He would be executed for murder if he killed someone. Just the same as if a Thai drugs officer started shooting people in Miami. Most Thai people cannot even read English so the badge hanging around his neck means no more than a badge written in Thai would mean in America. Really stupid story. After that low beginning it just rapidly goes downhill. I would like to end with a complement, to be polite and put a nice sentence of mitigation but there is no saving grace in this film. It is pathetic religious propaganda.
