Kingdoms in Time

Kingdoms In Time is an excellent documentary that gives a chronological timeline of the 'rise & fall' of Historical & Biblical Kingdoms.

Kingdoms In Time shows excellence in its up-to-date info & use of modern English for some of its 'old time' quotes & scripture references. It is only spoiled by its christian 'save your soul' appeal. Can you imagine the narrator of 'The History Channel's' documentary series 'Tales Of The Gun' - (a TV Network 1998 Series, Featuring the History of Firearms, narrated by Thom Pinto) - can you imagine Tales Of The Gun narrator Thom Pinto making a 'Teleshopping' documentary or video appeal for viewers to 'save your soul & buy a gun, buy any gun, buy any of the guns featured in the series'??? That's what we have here. Kingdoms In Time is a telemarketing biblical & historical 'documentary' appeal to gallantly save your soul - as most Kingdoms were lost & won in battle, through wars..

It isn't always apparent but most documentaries are loaded with subtleties. Subtleties that are rich in security. Subtleties that are hidden. Subtleties that are type of 'bias' that either strongly agrees or disagrees with 'a subject'.

As evidenced by another review of this title, it is a shame that those who hate God will go to any length to emphatically assure everyone that any testimony affirming the Biblical record is hogwash; in this case, they state, "not challenged by history, science or logic" and "unable to stand up to any type of scrutiny", hoping you will trust their "expert" analysis at face value. That is a gross misrepresentation of this documentary and simply not true.

This particular film is, actually, all about standing up to scrutiny. The producers skillfully validate Biblical accounts with documented evidences from archaeology, non-religious writers, secular historians, historical record, extra-biblical literature and the precise fulfillment of Biblical prophecies through time. It is a scholarly, well-made, captivating work that is made easy for people to understand. Highly recommended.

Critiquing from a secular viewpoint, I admit that the philosophical and historical arguments in this documentary are strong. I've fact checked the historical claims. I've even analyzed the biblical texts to ensure they weren't off context. This presentation is indeed an eye-opener that has challenged my secular beliefs. I encourage atheists or skeptics to view this with an open mind leaving behind any biases or presumptions.

Production and script quality is on par with major documentaries. CG quality however could use improvement as it is about 5 years behind, but that might be asking too much considering Amazing Facts doesn't have the budget backing of major studios.

None of what is presented stands up to any type of scrutiny. This may be convincing to the already convinced, but such one sided views leave in question the integrity and intent of those who made the film. Those who accept this at face value IMO should never be allowed to serve on a jury.

Very informative with pretty high production values.
