Movie Reviews of Pilgrim's Progress: Journey to Heaven
Movie Review: A real Christian movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I just recently watched Pilgrim's Progess: Journey to Heaven, and was completely satisfied with the experience. I would recomemend this movie to any Christian and/or fan of John Bunyan's classis story.
First of all, though the problems with the movie are few, I want to address them for the sake of giving an accurate review. The special effects are good (they don't look like a cheesy Saturday morning cartoon), but they are more like what you would see on a decent TV show than comparing with a Hollywood Blockbuster. That being said, the effects were well done. Also, as the director Danny Carrales correctly pointed out in a brief message on the DVD, not everything that is in the book has made it to the film. Like other movie adaptations, this one is only on Christian's story and does not address Christiana's travels (which was about half of John Bunyan's book), and some of Christian's story is shortened or ommited.
All that being said, the message of John Bunyan is faithfully conveyed in a powerful way. Granted that it takes a couple of minutes to get used to seeing the modern settings and clothing, but I don't see this a problem because Bunyan was writing to his contemporary audience, so making the message seem applicable to our lives is keeping with the spirit of the book. The acting was superb, and really served to help the viewer relate to the characters. The dialogue was strait and to the point and well-executed without feeling awkward. The cinematography was excelent in serving to ground the veiwer in place and mood. But what I thought the best part of the movie was is how it constantly hammers the Gospel Message from the start all the way through to the very end. I couldn't keep count of the times that the message of Salvation from sin through the Grace of Jesus Christ alone was clearly stated. This film did not pull any punches or gloss over the Gospel Message an any way, shape, or form.
A quick note to parents: this film is not rated, but it does have a couple violent parts in it (you may recall the battle with Apolyon) and some disturbing content (hell is suppose to be disturbing). This film would not get a rating higher than PG with the MPAA, but parents with younger or more sensitive children may want to preview the movie first.
Overall, I would have to say that as a longtime fan of John Bunyan's classic story, this is the first movie adaptation that satisfied. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a non-watered down Christian film as well as anyone who is not a Christian but is interested in what the true Message of Salvation is.
