In the Blink of an Eye

So if that is going to bother you, than just see something else. For the rest of you still here its a pretty good movie. It even had me thinking the next day. Yes, I am thinking person. Did you know there are smart people that believe in Jesus and God? I guess a most reviewers would like you to think otherwise.

Anyways, I just started seeing these Christian David A. R. White movies and they are quite refreshing, they may have some bits that are little heavy handed, but for the most part its a solid movie. And for those that believe or don't have a prejudice against believer movies you will enjoy yourself. I even got teary eyed a couple of times and was on the edge of my seat at the end (I don't want to give it away).

To all of you shocked viewers. I watched this on Netflix and it says right on the genre of the movie at the bottom that it is a Religious, spiritual movie. That is just one point but also that any movie that is by Pure Flix is also a Spiritual movie. Sorry to You non believers but there is no reason that a faith based movie shouldn't be allowed in the mainstream seeing how This country is a free country and though it was found on the basis of God and our money does state " In god we trust." I think the fact that we have freedom to believe what we want is great. So stop trying to justify your non belief and if you do not like our "cold callings" well don't watch it, and next time maybe research a movies genre before watching it if you are that strongly against things. I love movies that are faith based, and I also love the Lord he gives life meaning and he died for our sins and this movie shows examples of his grace. No one can push beliefs on you, you watched the movie, you can hit stop. Its your choice.

I make no apologizes for being a Christian. However, I will make no apologizes for this movie. I knew its subject matter prior to viewing it. I sort of knew what to expect; I just expected it to be presented in a more professional way.

The cricisisms of the acting and dialogue are on point. The Groundhog day aspect of the film was SO repetivitve that I said to my wife, "If he wakes up one more time from a dream, I'm putting this spoon through my head." (We were having dinner at the time.) The lead actor (whose real life wife co-starred) is in several Christian movies. He's not a good actor but not a bad actor, either. Obviously done on a slim budget, this must be taken into account. If you're yearning for a rapture-type movie, take a look. You may turn it off after 30 minutes...or follow it to its telegraphed ending. If you're looking for a terrific movie, with a Christian theme, I'd put this one way down my list.

I'm a Christian and love Groundhog Day. So, I was excited to see this. Yes, I was disappointed. Mostly because it is embarrassing unless you're already a believer.

As Christian entertainment it was an okay watch with a few good ideas, but overall it falls flat with poor writing and execution. It's not one to share with unbelieving friends as it does nothing to inspire or raise questions about faith.

When you have conversion scenes in a faith based movie, you want it to come from a real and genuine place. That did not happen here.

Full of potential, but drops the ball. For free on PureFlix it's worth one watch, but expect plenty of cheese.

I like comments like MickeyFin's where they watch what they obviously believe is fiction, and then they review it as if it were a non-fiction piece. The only thing this could indicate is that their soul is crying out for the concept to be true, but everything else in their being denies it at all cost. It is the equivalent of me watching Spider-Man and then shouting outrage that there is no actual superhero that can crawl on ceilings, and voicing my disgust that some filmmaker subjected me to such a presentation. As far as the question: "Why is there suffering in the world?" The answer has nothing to do with your problems with this movie, but the answer is nevertheless critical for any intellectual and non-intellectual to contemplate. The answer is easy to understand, but only once your mind has evolved past Neanderthal. One of many non-preaching presentations can be found here (found via a quick google search) where some ideas to answer your question are given. http://powertochange.com/discover/faith/worldsuffering/ and I'll add further, if there was no suffering, how would we know what joy was? Certainly, you don't expect everyone to be happy all of the time, do you? If anything, YOU are preaching THAT to all of US. Frankly, I don't care for your anonymous cold call. If you still think that link was too preachy, here is a very clinical discussion about the absolute necessity of suffering that might prove much more palatable. http://www.vmohanty.com/2010/why-is-there-suffering-in-the-world/ Either way, using the existence of suffering as an excuse to deny there's a God is as ludicrous as me using the existence of crime to deny there's no Spider-Man. You may have to read that more than once to fully appreciate the intellectual profundity.
