O Livro de Gênesis

Though the story line keeps true the costumes of the characters lacks. For example the way they dressed appears more like an American Frontier scene, buttons and boots. They did a decent job of bringing the meaning those messages and stories of the beginning to life but visually it was leaving a lot more to be desired.

To bring into a more modern tale that will capture audiences of this age I believe the director and producer should have worked the story line to match up with modernizing the Book of Genesis. This would help the visual representation and lend to the messages found in the Bible.

Nearing the end now, it comes to me, that the producers have given us a rather different, yet meaningful look at one of the most poignant books of the Bible and it actually serves as an opportunity to recollect each of the jewels and the setting of each piece of the book that is Genesis! Having spent 9 months in a study of this most significant biblical account, it was an opportunity to recall each of the many parts of the book and have drawn the conclusion that I may need a second glance at it!

Well done Austin Bible church! A crown awaits you in Glory! I'll rank this production right up with Mel's Passion of the Christ!

Thank you for a refreshing non religious perspective cliché driven hokey story. Instead i have witnessed a child like faith story. Sure the acting is not perfect and it doesn't have all the fleshly appealing CGI but it speaks on a spiritual level...Blessings... Hallelujah we have been restored to the Eternal Kingdom through Jesus Christ.I pray for a part II.

I can praise the cleanness of the cameras, the good selection of settings and the general dialog, but otherwise the film falls apart.

While I get the film wanted to distinguish itself from other biblical adaptations, the execution was disastrous. The point the movie wants to get across was not clear at all, while the various plot points of the book of Genesis were shown in a messy way that they fail to convey any consistent message through them. The staging is also poor, as it shows Noah floating on water as opposed to being in the Ark, which makes everything look confusing, or Joseph doesn't change at all when he meets his brothers again.

The fashion/costuming is not good in this movie, since it includes buttoned shirts when they appeared after Christ and pants don't look very sensical for that age, even if pants did exist in Ancient Ages. There are some characters with looks that fit 21th century more, like Adam having a perfectly trimmed beard or young Jacob having a modern classic haircut and a perfect shave.

The acting was not the worst thing ever, but I had some problems with Venus not having too much credibility as the mother of Moses due to the lack of chemistry with the baby, while Avery Merrifield looks weird in a bad way when portraying Adam, although his acting improves when Eve enters the scene and his sadness for Abel's death is decently impacting. The dialog was generally alright, but the emotions weren't conveyed too well in the delivery.

It tried to be artistic and have an identity, but the message gets lost and the film looks pointless in the end. You can see potential, but this adaptation was not very effective.

I absolutely love this move but was disappointed you did not continue on with more books from the bible. You explained the narrative of genesis in a way even a young viewer can understand. It would be wonderful to see you produce these in order of the Bible. The movie did such an amazing job of bringing everything to life, while the narration helps to fill in the smaller sections. I have watched many movies about the gospels since and have been very disappointed. I was even more surprised to see this was made and produced in Austin Texas. I would love to see another filmed here in Austin. Wonderful.
