The Case for Christ

First, this is the best Pure Flix movie made to date. Now, before you say that doesn't mean anything, let me just say, I understand. But I know they will keep getting better (exception of course for the God's Not Dead trilogy), and this movie helps them set a positive direction for great filmmaking. What could have gone awry from a cheesy acting, over-preachy, stereotypical, boring film really never happened. This film honors atheists and tells the story of Jesus in a way that had me saying "yes". And it wasn't because it's the version of Christianity that I wanted, but it's because it was truly moving. It felt like what Christianity is meant to be. A journey of us pursuing God, yet the real pursuer is God Himself. It's amazing how the film didn't have to preach - it flows naturally. Great job to the crew on this film - they saw the details they needed to see and I would definitely watch it again. *I rewatched this movie on 11/19/17 with my wife on our 27in, and it was once again very compelling and powerful. The way they move in and out of scenes is really well done, Mike Vogel (lead actor) is seriously a champ, and the movie ironically helps me see atheists in a better light. My wife and I would certainly have loved to have seen the lead character talk with at least one or two more atheists, so that the film isn't so entirely one sided, but that's not its purpose. I considered down-grading the music to a 3.5 (instead of a 4.0) because it's pretty basic upon rewatching it, but I'm going to keep it at a 4.0 because even though the music isn't anything special it is well placed and well paced in the story.
