 Great for Children February 6, 2002
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I found this to be wonderful when I previewed it for my Sunday School Class. Very easy to show scenes if you don't have time for the whole movie. Excellent cinematography.
Best and truest movie ever January 17, 2002
This is the best and most true movie of anything Biblical that I have seen. And this too is a great fact that attests to the power of the movie: "No other film has been seen by more than one billion people, translated into more than 425 languages and shown in more than 225 countries. It is one of the best movies I have ever seen and wonderfully created and acted. If God wasn't in the center of the making of this movie then I don't know who was!
 According to Luke December 30, 2001

This Jesus film is true to the Gospel of Luke. That is good and bad. It sticks very close to the Gospel of Luke and avoids the Hollywood straying which most Jesus films undertake. However, because it is so closely tied to Luke, there is no crown of thorns on the head of Jesus (which is not mentioned in Luke). Because I am a stickler for accuracy, I think this is the best Jesus film available, even without the crown of thorns.
 3 Stars for Accuracy, Poorly Done - Read Luke Instead September 15, 2001

This movie, made by the Genesis Project and was released in theaters nationwide in the early 80's, is unfornuately, boring. The directing is of novice caliber and the acting very forgetful. Based on the Gospel of Luke, it fails to give an emotional impact. I know they wanted to make a great film, but instead, they made an uninspiring account of the life of Christ.This movie has been hailed by so many layity and pastors as a great witnessing tool. If this is true, then the movie accomplished something good, however, I find it hard to believe anyone can set through it without falling asleep. Read the Gospel of Luke instead. Watch Jesus of Nazareth if you must watch a gospel movie. This movie, however, is better than King of Kings and is on equal footing as The Greatest Story Ever Told in enterianment value.
The man who changed the face of history... July 30, 2001

The stories of Jesus' conception and birth are recorded in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. This movie is based on Luke's account. The story begins with a prologue to summarize Jesus' life as a child and to bring the story into focus. John Heyman researched this film for five years and then filmed it in over 200 locations in the Holy Land.
Over one billion people have viewed this work and it has been translated into more than 425 languages and shown in more than 225 countries. The Epic story of the most controversial life in human history could barely be covered in one movie, so this is more of an overview of Jesus' life.
In 83 minutes, this story will make you want to know more about a man who walked the earth, knowing he would die to give man the ultimate gift - Eternal Life. Throughout the movie, Jesus speaks in parables to teach his followers truth. He calls his disciples and empowers them to convey God's messages to a wider audience.
Jesus' Miracles in this movie included the Feeding of the 5,000, Calming the Storm, Raising Jairus' Daughter, and giving site to the blind. The Last Supper is portrayed and then the Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus starts to make this movie more dramatic. This movie very briefly touches on all the trials and then draws you into the emotional aspects of Jesus' Crucifixion. When he triumphs over death and is raised from the dead he appears in bodily form to show that he is indeed alive.
The story ends with Jesus ascending into the clouds [....]
I recommend this movie to all who want to know how to leave this world alive. This movie left me with a feeling of love for Jesus Christ, who gave his life for us so we can spend an eternity in heaven with our Creator, God.
