Beautiful, moving film.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

As stated in the movie, science is supposed to be based on observation; yet the beginning of the human race was never observed. So called scientific proof is based on data after the fact, which ultimately depends on interpretation. Absolute proof is humanly impossible, because there is always the possibility of an unknown factor; therefore, only someone who knows everything can absolutely prove anything. Science is the pursuit of knowledge, which implies a lack of knowledge, and something that is not completely known is based on faith. So everything we know, such as the theory of evolution or creationism, is ultimately based on belief (and evolution boils down to the belief that God either does not exist or did not do everything that He claimed). According to the Bible, every plant or animal produces after it's own kind meaning: i.e., apes produce apes, and humans produce humans, which is self evident. If I told an evolutionist, "hey, I saw an ape produce a human", they would laugh at me; yet, that is basically what they are saying whether they want to admit it or not. God had the Bible describe creation, because only He observed it, and only His account is credible. According to the Bible, Eve was the mother of all living, Eve was made from Adam's rib, Adam was made from dirt, and God made Time, Space, and Mass (these events could have never been deduced from the "rock record"). According to the Bible, the earth was created before the sun, moon, and stars, so the earth is unique and was not formed the way it is imagined retrospectively by science. According to the Bible, the earth was created with age (not a ball of fire under Adam's feet on the 6th day), the trees were fully grown (baring fruit). And according to Biblical genealogy, we are only about 150 generations from Adam, which does amount to approximately 6,000 years (6 days of creation representing 6,000 years, "a day for a 1000 years" 2 Peter 3:8).

Like most of the reviewers here, it is m opinion that this is nothing but creationist propaganda - and terrible propaganda at that. The acting isn't as terrible as many made for Sy-Fy movies, but it's pretty bad. The portrayal of science in this movie is awful. They completely misrepresent the evolution argument (that's pretty common for creationists). It really makes one wonder just how fragile creationists think their beliefs are that they need to prevent other views from being taught to their children.

I cannot stand this movie. As a Christian myself I have my issues with Creationism. Even the Catholic faith support evolution, bla, bla, bla. Why I believe this movie is dangerous because it is cleverly done. It doesn't ultimately try to discredit Evolution. No, one could deal with facts. But it actually gives the impression that Creationism and Evolution have the same fact base and hence are equally "valid" since there would be ultimately no evidence for any of the two would have created life on earth - since nobody could witness. But Evolution has been able to deliver a full explanation. There will be most likely some details still wrong, but I believe (*please note this word here*) that it will be ultimately sorted out. Creationism only provides god as the ultimo ratio. No, these two approaches are not comparable. Btw, I thought the acting wasn't good neither.

If there are movies like Zeitgeist, Superman, or Paranormal Activity, then I don't see a problem with this movie's topic or intention.The entire line of argument, photography, acting, and script are screaming "this is a Christian movie" from the beginning. And that's OK, it's a style. In fact, it is looking for a very specific audience.I would just say that this movie should be rated for people within the age of reason, since if you don't have enough education in your baggage, you could drink the cool aid.This shouldn't be even in science fiction. It should be classified as comedy, everything in this movie is a huge internet meme for U.S. Christianism.
