Father of Nations

This movie is 2 1/4 hours of sheer boredom. It had 2 hours of repetitive garbage to get to 15 minutes of meaningful content. I fell asleep for 20 minutes and missed absolutely nothing! The visuals were OK, not great. The script was about 2 hours to long and pretended to be insightful but was just boring. The acting was just OK. I am not sure how this movie ever won any awards to be honest with you. Also, if you are going to watch it, be aware it is HEAVY on religion. Overall, this is one stinker of a movie that should be avoided at all costs, even if there is nothing else to watch. Not worth your time!

I really liked the movie, so much so that I saw it twice. The movie is very well done - cinematography, acting, story line, dialogue, directing, music, etc. And overall production values. I didn't know what to expect as a production going in, with the movie being an independent film made locally, but was blown away by the high quality of the work.

This is a post-apocalypse movie dealing with the likely extinction of the human race and how the characters respond to that realization while they are struggling to survive. It's a great movie on its own merits. It is an amazing movie for one made in Alberta by Albertans.

This made in Alberta film blew me away - I wasn't sure what to expect but I loved the characters, the original story, the thread of hope that kept them going. I loved that this movie was unique and so real. The conversations between characters were authentic and the emotions so relatable. The landscape backdrops are amazing, it never feels like you are seeing a fake movie set. The origninal background music is beautifully made for this story, not overwhelming or distracting, it fits just right. I've rarely seen conversations about faith in film done so well, so realistically.

I highly recommend watching this one, it is truly a remarkable film.

We have had the privilege of seeing this movie twice. It was so good the first time we had to go back and see it again! Amazing cinematography. Music was outstanding. Dialogue was very thought-provoking. The movie broached hard subjects with courage and depth. And the plot was well written and intriguing. The acting was excellent. I cried several times during the movie. Going back-and-forth in time created a lot of intrigue and interest. This film was entirely done in Alberta, and the cast and crew did an amazing job! Although the film dealt with some hard subjects and the characters' varied emotional reactions to these, the ending was very hopeful! I would like to find out what happens after the story. Keep going Thousand Year Films! I am very much looking forward to your next movie!

I really enjoyed this film. Super thought-provoking. Post apocalyptic isn't my number one genre... But this would be the best film I've ever seen of it's type. Reminded me a bit of the film "Children of Men". If you're looking for something shallow or pure entertainment you might be disappointed... this asked a lot of deep questions and contained thought provoking subject matter. It seems pretty appropriate for the season we are living in where so much of society's future feels uncertain. The ending was surprising but hopeful. I thought it was well acted, with moments of humour. Lots of flashing back-and-forth to different time periods, so you have to pay attention. There was action interspersed with in-depth conversation. I think this film gets even better with multiple viewings because you understand it more and the layers and intricacies of it. The cinematography was really beautiful. I love the fact that it's an Alberta made film!
