It was interesting and thought provoking.

I found it a interesting watch and I find the reviews even more interesting with how many outright bash people beliefs. Imagine this but it was the Koran, how tolerant do you think those believers would be of the movie? All in all worth watching but Christianity is a easy target and it does not take much courage at all to make a movie like this about it.

Big topic, big ideas

Cameron's put together a wealth of research and interviews, mixed it all together with the trademark humour from his podcasting career, and gives a strong sense that the picture is so much bigger - that there's more yet to explore and discuss. It's got a lot of content, so be patient with it. And bear in mind this very much about the history of early Christianity and doctrine (and changes in historians' perspective), and less about the mythical or religious elements - although they do enter into it too. Maybe it should have a byline: How to fine-tune a religion for maximum market share and domination, if you're one of the Apostles.

Not perfect, but bloody good

An insightful look at early Christian beginnings. Bound to upset those who believe in the view that the Bible is literal.

Be warned Cameron does have a topically Australian sense of humour which may run some people the wrong way. Thank the Lord.

Informative but Missed Opportunity

I actually learned quite a bit from the film, but was very off-put by the cringe humor. Maybe you need to be Australian... however, it was refreshing (as an American) to see someone other than Ken Ham speak about the Bible with that accent. I would much prefer less movie references and the animations to support the information being presented by the experts, not as silly gags. (Score is weighted to balance grumpy Christians)
