“This movie, is very professionally done. Unfortunately, it follows the Hollywood formula of everything and everyone, being materially comfortable, squeaky clean and the ladiesu0026quot;made-upu0026quot; to glamour standards. I think, that weu0026#39;ve grown so habituated to these standards, that it would be difficult for us to watch, if it presented people and situations, as they really are in life. Iu0026#39;m mostly mentioning this due to the fact, that this is a u0026quot;Christianu0026quot; film. It is sad to me, that even people of faith feel, that they need to show this glamorized image of life, to find acceptance. I believe, that the film, gives a good representation of both sides of the u0026quot;Creationismu0026quot; versus u0026quot;Evolutionaryu0026quot; debate on lifeu0026#39;s origins, although it is of course told from a u0026quot;Christianu0026quot; perspective, and somewhat heavy-handedly at some times. It shows, the rigidity of those on both sides of this question. I think, that the acting is well done. The script, however, is quite bland and contrived. It is certainly no profound work of art or ideas, which such a topic could lend itself to. I watched it for the ideas, rather, than expecting some u0026quot;chef du0026#39;oeuvreu0026quot; of cinema. I found it mildly entertaining.”
