As Good As It Gets
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Presentation is everything. This presentation doesn't work. The "Proof" is something that this man "rigged up". I could have done the same thing to better effect.This same material however could be presented by somebody else with better graphics and you might have a better result. This just doesn't work.
I believe in the message of Christ and his teachings. Now all the stories about his birth and everything about it I find to be "Wishful thinking". I was looking forward in watching this. What I got was a Sunday School class with poor visuals and no give and take. I think the same material could be presented "Again" however the Pastor could have a better dialog with the people in the audience. Also when he shows us the visuals its only for a moment. Next time sire get someone that knows how to film something like this.
I am a person who believes in that Jesus was the son of God but we are all sons and daughters of God. So the story of the birth of Jesus is "A Story" based on a real incident. What is known about the star is really not fully explained here. The mans visual props are seldom seen on screen. I am not recommending this because it is a bore to watch! If you were there when they were filming this then it might of been more interesting. They its presented here it comes across like your listening to the radio. Don't bother to watch!
This stands out from other films of its type by declaring how its conclusions were reached, offering the viewer the chance to check them independently. This would require the use of a specific software package (identified in the film) and perhaps a little enthusiasm to learn some basic astronomy (which is probably needed to use the software anyway). I have not yet checked the results myself, because I found the case so convincing, but I have made a mental note to do so eventually.if you find the story of the star of Bethlehem and the many wise men charming but hard to believe (astronomers, not astrologers probably, and there were most likely many more than three) then this is the film for you.
