Great story, not a great portrayal
It is easy to get your hopes up for a Christian based movie to make as powerful an impact as the Chosen has.
That said, I love the story, most of the actors are very stiff.
Abraham is far too stoic for a man who hears the voice of God.
The artistic license of the journey to the mountain is somewhat interesting.
The movie does not inspire me to grow closer to God. The sermons I hear from an everyday minister are more inspiring.
I didn't hate the movie because I'm happy that there is still a chance that it touches someone's heart and changes their life.
I am happy to have Christian based content available for my family. My grandchildren were bored in the first ten minutes.
When they watched the Chosen they were glued to the screen.
While is is unfair to compare the two, that is exactly what I find myself doing.
