Torchbearer

I strongly disagree with the review posted in Feb 2017. This film is an accurate portrayal of what happens to humanity when man removes God from the picture. Not once does he mention God being angry or God's anger as a reason for the wars and autrocities seen throughout human history. There are no natural disasters mentioned in this film either.

I encourage you to watch the film with an open mind and develop your own opinion. Jesus is our only hope in this life!

I was hoping that perhaps there would be a novel concept in this movie, but no. The theme is predictable, tired, and yet scarily still not uncommon. Being that human-kind has continually angered 'Gawd' (his pronunciation, not mine). Hence disasters, be they caused by nature or human, can be occasionally pointed to as a sign that 'Gawd' is unhappy. That, unfortunately, is the gist of the entire movie.

I came away feeling very much as though i'd just seen a tired magician, sawing a lady in half. The trick is old, and the performance was worse.

If you enjoy anything close to a decent theological piece, don't waste your time. I feel soiled even reviewing the thing.

Truth is, only anti-Christians will hate this film. Phil is real, and he speaks from his heart.

Only a troubled sinner would rate it down, and even then he knows he is wrong. Myabe a reprobate will say this movie is bad, or the massage is wrong nad not "liberal" enough for them.

The truth is, the truth is not liberal or not, its truth. Your world-view is not always right, you are only human. But the Word of God is there to correct your world view.

It's never too late to repent.

I don't do reviews, although I read some from time to time. When I read the one from Feb /17, I felt like I needed to respond.

The personalized criticisms isn't a new concept to movies that reveal historic facts and include biblical references. Those type of reviews smack of an overall disdain not only for great production and content value (this is a wonderful film) but talk of tricks is a curious observation that has no relevance to the film and curious in itself.

The locations, cinematography and writing is superb. Phil Robertson is a natural in the delivery of the documentary-styled performance.

Watch it. You'll like it and likely learn some history you didn't know or have forgotten.

A movie everybody should see! I earned a lot from this. Thank you.
