Genesis: Paradise Lost (2017) Reviews

• Treats the Book of Genesis with Awe and Respect

  wayne-963-8295172017-11-14

  We saw the 3D version and the projectionist had a little trouble setting the system to 3D mode apparently since the image was blurry and muddled with the glasses on for just the first minute or so. Heard a click from the booth and that cleared up so the title popped off the screen just in front of us. I have a degree in biology and so I was very interested in the science part. Knowing this is from Eric Hovind, there would be lots of creation-evolution content. Yes, this certainly was a central theme and of course this should be since the Book of Genesis is the definitive revelation on our origins! This is a film for anyone who wants to get a clear picture of the present state of Darwin's theory with particular emphasis on its application to humans. The film moves from lush CGI landscapes to interviews with various people ranging from multi-PhD scientists to pastors and even a Messianic Jewish evangelist with a nice contrast and flow. There is a "no holds barred" critical treatment of Darwin's theory and the billions of years old earth assumptions needed to support it. I even heard "spontaneous generation" mentioned several times as a key element of evolution theory and abiogenesis discussions. A point I have often made as well. There are some magnificent long CGI sequences of Adam and Eve enjoying the vistas of their Garden of Eden in amazing splendor. Dinosaurs are there as well in ways that may change your understanding of them. This film gets high marks in my opinion because of its quality as cinema and because of its bold and passionate appeal to the human heart to hear and respond to the great message of the Book itself!

• Don't listen to the negative reviews

  john_s_johnson2017-11-13

  This movie is excellent! The visuals are so good that if I was in charge of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, this movie would be nominated for 3 Oscars. Best visual effects, best cinematography, and best art direction. They are really of that high of a caliber. This film is highly informative, and it includes a whole group of interesting speakers talking about what they know best! The extra money you have to pay for the 3D was well worth it in my opinion. All of the people who gave this film a negative review, more than likely have not watched the film at all and are clearly biased in their opinions.

• Don't bother with this crap.

  jackx-189332018-08-28

  Unless you want to see one of the reasons why the American education system is failing don't bother to watch this crap of a movie. It's all lies from Ray Comfort to help him become rich through the spread of ignorance. The only thing this film proves is how out of touch Comfort and his dim witted creationist followers are with reality. Taking faith over reality. If you want a better story I suggest buying Deadpool 2 instead.

• Faithful telling of the biblical worldview rooted in Genesis

  riedud2017-11-14

  I imagine there will be two types of reviews for this film, those that scoff at the Creation worldview and rate it disingenuously and those that don't. For reference I love movies and have a background in science and design. This movie delivers it's message in a straightforward and visually stunning way--the basis of life, logic, sin and all science is rooted in what has already been explained for thousands of year in the Bible with it's foundation in Genesis. The film highlights modern contentions and addresses points many laymen or curious bypassers may have not put much thought into regarding origins and science. It also highlights many problems with the dominant worldview held by many--evolutionism or naturalism. Considering the five year development and socially funded aspect, the film was quite good with a solid production. I did notice that at my theater, the frame rate seemed rather choppy during some of the graphically intense scenes but this may have been due to the projector and hopefully not the film itself. As a Christian whether you agree with the films content or not, it very much delivers on explaining the Christian paradigm in a very tangible and meaningful way. If you are believer, go see this, if you are curious about a worldview you may have never considered, go see this film.

• Awesome Theological Documentary...

  markbeardsley2017-11-14

  I've watched dozens of theological based documentaries, and this is one of the best. The 3-D effects were top notch and dazzling... I wished I could have seen this in an IMAX! The information presented was done very professionally, I thought, and I would highly recommend it to any and all people professing to be Christians, and those who are just curious about Christianity. I wish it had more showings so I could take other family members and friends to see this. It really was an excellent production!
