The Journey: A Music Special from Andrea Bocelli

It was exactly what I expected and I cannot image anyone not seeing the beauty reflected on the screen with what was seen and heard.

It was a true journey with a beautiful family and his friends. It was through the eyes of a man that may not see as we do but experiences things we could never see. I went with 2 other couples and we all were just mesmerized by the experience. The artists that joined him were perfect for the audience to experience their god given talents.

It reflected a journey we all could grow from as we did.

Loved it!

Thank you TBN for putting togther an unforgettable experience.

On the surface this journey brings us through 200 miles of stunning landscapes and historical architectural marvels in Italy. Andrea, family and friends ride horses from Rome to their home, stopping along the way at cathedrals and other religious venues for phenomenal performances. Along the journey Andrea and friends discuss faith and hope and triumphs through diverse personal pilgrimages. The music, like the landscape is stunning and features a diverse group of artists performing faith based inspirational music along the way. I am so grateful that I found this film. The comforting presentation was exactly what my heart needed.

This film is an awesome presentation of beautiful music, outstanding singing with great musicians all combined with lush photography of the Italian countryside.

Bocelli himself is an inspiration, riding on horseback along the ancient road Via Francigena, visiting beautiful ruins, monasteries and rolling hills. He is accompanied by his wife and great guest singers including Michael W. Smith, Tauren Wells and others.

The aerial photography is breath taking, especially on a big Imax screen.

You will come away from this film truly inspired by the strong music and awesome Italian scenery.

This film is well worth your time!

This was one of the strangest films I've ever sat through. I don't know what I was expecting but what I got was just Andre Bocelli and his wildy wealthy entourage riding horses through Italy for some inexplicable reason and stopping at historic churches so he can perform in the most grandiose fashion imaginable.. Nothing was candid, everything overwrought and overproduced. The music was fine but the way they brought it was an overimagined fever-dream.

The other artists who join him don't seem to know what's going on either - a couple of them seem like hostages.

At one point his daughter who is probably 10 joins him and he says they are going to sing a song together... a song that he taught her when she was a little a girl. And i think, well maybe this will be sweet and show some humanity on this otherwise completely pretentious self aggrandizing train wreck.

So she stands beside him at the piano and he belts out Ave Maria like he's performing in front of 4,000 people at the NY Met. She sings but you cant hear a note because he's in full scorched-earth opera mode.

Another time his son joins him and reads a letter to him while Bocelli strums a guitar that he produces out of thin air. They affected that this should be very moving but what I got was sheer eyeroll.

And of course he drops in on the Pope so they can chat like old friends and get that on camera.

This is the most pretentious, self-promoting mess i think I've ever seen at a theater.

Ive never been happier to see a film go to credits.

Bocelli! The man who has sold 90 million albums has a voice that is beyond compare. And to think he struggled to get into the business and was told "no" by many. Not until age 35 did he break through.

The story of the movie is of a blind man, his wife and some friends traveling from Rome to his home over the same trail used by the apostles; a distance of over 200 miles. The Pope sends them off from Rome. That's how big Bocelli is.

Along the way, Bocelli and his friends sing in some stunning venues. The camera work is first rate.

If you need to be lifted up, go see this movie. Bocelli's voice sent chills down my spine. He's that great.
