Best movie ever!

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

I am a Christian, so don't bother reading my review, because it's biased. You can't trust it. I'm brainwashed and make all of my decisions based on emotion, not logic. Nobody should watch this movie because the main character becomes a Christian; also, some of the people he talks to are Christians too, which is all biased and unreliable.Okay so I took off 2 stars solely because it's not an absolutely exceptional movie, that's all. As far as the content and the reasoning and such goes, it's well made, and I'd recommend it to anyone who finds the premise of the movie interesting, Christian or not.One thing I'd say especially to non-Christians about it is that it doesn't portray all the Christians as excellent people and the atheists and agnostics as awful people. For instance, his wife does a pretty poor job of dealing with things with him after her conversion. There are several other examples I could mention but won't spoil it. I myself know full well that there are a lot of stupid or even idiotic Christians (and "Christians") out there, but believe it or not guys, there are some of us who actually base our faith upon intellectual integrity, a genuine desire to know the truth objectively and logically without just believing whatever makes us feel good or aligns with our desires. This movie details the story of a man who overcame him his *lack* of objectivity, which was destructive.If you're hard set against ever accepting the existence of God, or ever believing that anyone of any faith ever can be rational or unbiased, then (seriously this time) I wouldn't bother watching this movie. Go live your life however you see fit, because that's what you're really after, and then, when your time comes, die. Unless you change your lack of objectivity like Lee Strobel did, and earnestly genuinely desire to know the truth after having critically evaluated all of the evidence and counter-claims from both sides, death will be the only way you discover God - and by then it will be too late.

Very well acted and good storylines. Hollywood should make more movies like this. I hope to get the book soon.

The movie is just awful. I was expecting some real investigation, like "the lost tomb os Jesus" or anythign, but it is just byass propaganda with no investigation. Every opinion is taken as a fact. As absurd as it can be, you can actually see one guy saying "this is written on the Bible so it is true" and the "investigator" takes that as a fact. For god sake if you take the Bible as fact then you are not making any kind of research xD

Let me make my biases known from the start. I am a Christian, but not of the American sort, and I rarely watch Christian movies.A friend of mine convinced me to watch this one, and to be frank I wasn't disappointed. Sure, the script was quite simple and you could see the ending coming a mile off, but it was still an enjoyable movie. Would I suggest an atheist, or a non-believer of any sort, to watch this movie? No, the movie clearly tries to work to a climax by portraying the protagonist and other atheists as unreasonable, and unlikable. In my experience there is little hostility towards Christian belief (which is understandable in the case of the protagonist seeing his family situation), instead it's usually a form of apathy. If this had been brought to the fore more clearly that would have done the movie some good. That being said; how atheists are portrayed in this movie is extremely mild compared to how Christians are portrayed in Hollywood movies (i.e. perverted, greedy, weird, untrustworthy and extremely dumb). Quality of the argument: Now I understand no one wants to watch a 1,5 hour debate surrounded by a short story, and so one cannot expect long dialogues about the arguments for the historicity of Jesus' death and resurrection, but a lot more time could have been spent on the counterarguments. Also, there was no full argument given in the movie, all the parts were there, but it would have been better for the audience if the protagonist went through them all at a particular point in the story. Climax of the movie (spoilers): The climax, which I suppose was the point at which the protagonist starts to believe, is completely underwhelming. It's clear he's been given a lot of evidence, but the sudden turn around is completely unreasonable. You would expect some clear (or clearer) indications that his non-belief was crumbling. Or a more explicit portrayal of the frustration which the protagonist must have endured in his failing attempts to show Jesus to be a fraud. The level of resentment towards his wife seems about the same throughout the movie (though that might be because the lead actor isn't quite good at conveying emotions, the wife of the protagonist however was very good) though the dialogue seems to indicate a steady increase in resentment. Given that increase one would expect a more dramatic conversion moment.Is it propaganda or an evangelistic kind of movie? Yes, it clearly is, but what do you expect with that title? Is it worth watching as an atheist? If you can overlook the horrible writing with respect to the atheist, sure. It's not a horrible movie and if you dare walk a bit on the edge with respect to your metaphysical beliefs (or lack thereof) this movie will surely do that. At the very least, if you're the curious sort, it might prompt you to do your own research and either prove Strobel right or wrong.
