Featured reviews
I have never seen a more disappointing movie, i bought it from tesco thinking it would be a good children's fantasy adventure but when I started to watch it I realised it was the complete opposite. From the awful actors to the tacky costumes. I haven't got a clue what time zone it is meant to be because most of the adults have old fashion clothing like top hats but then there is robots and modern buildings. Scince when do cowboys happen to have two swords. I know £3 seems cheap but for this movie i felt very ripped of, my family and thought it was made by a drama club with a normal camera. My brother who is 7, my sister who is 10, me 14 and my mum and dad found it funny that it was so rubbish and tacky.
Take a shot every time they make an overly religious metaphor, or quote the Bible. Drunk is the only way to watch this movie. *(note: please don't play this drinking game, you will get alcohol poisoning) Its utterly awful. The reviews are the best part about it! Stale acting Horrid scrip Horrendous soundtrack And I cannot begin to describe how plainly awful the special effects are. The only thing scenes I could stand to watch, were those with Iggy because he was the most normal one in it AND HE IS IN LEAGUE WITH THE DEVIL. A waste of £3. As if the tescos horse meat scandal wasn't enough.
If you want to watch something with better drama and acting watch episodes of doctor Who from the 70s, at least the special effects are better.

Wow.... is all i gotta say. Look at all those positive reviews and the fact that its the only review most of the users have ever made. All the visual effects and scenery are breathtaking?? First thing that comes to mind is substance abuse when i read that other review. Never in my life have i seen a more poorly constructed movie. Its as if they just had a couple extra cameras lying about and some tall guy started juggling them and decided to make a movie out of the footage from it. This movie is beyond terrible, It seems to just defy words. How anyone could write that first review without breaking into laughter or wetting themselves (which i'm sure the publisher did on release) is beyond me. Since the advent of affordable hd camera equipment we seem to be getting a never ending barrage of crappy independent movies. This needs to stop and it needs to stop now before more people are hurt.
I didn't pay a huge amount for this DVD but still think I was ripped off. Yes, I grant that trying to make a modern film version of the Pilgrim's Progress, which after all is over 400 years old, was never going to be easy. However, sadly the message that should have been conveyed was beaten into submission by the truly appalling acting. And as for the "breathtaking" special effects - no one in my family saw any. On the plus side, I went to sleep for about 40 minutes in the middle of the film, thereby wasting less time than the rest of my family. My 6 year old didn't mind it too much, but my 11 year old said it was rubbish. Don't waste your time.
This has got to be one of the worst films I have ever seen in my life, I paid £3 from Tescos for it (I didn't read the previous review before buying)and feel totally conned. I was looking forward to a family action adventure film and got a low budget, new age Christian propaganda sermon in return. I totally agree with the previous review and can only assume that the other reviews are from friends and family of the cast (or same religious group).
I can only hope (and pray) that someone reads this review before buying the film and saves themselves the pain of an hour and a half of biblical metaphors.
