Good for its purpose Jan 30, 2008
In considering the worth of this video, one must look at the purpose and audience it was intended for. This is directed at a church audience, and it is not for entertainment. It is for the purpose of engendering discussion on topics such as evil, temptation, the problem of free will, what the Bible has to say about heaven and hell, how the church can become a breeding ground for corruption, how to make choices, and the question of whether good can overcome evil.
Along the way it has something to say about C.S. Lewis, his life and writings, and the influences on him in writing this gem of a book. It doesn't assume that you have read the book, but it made me get out the book to read again, years after my initial introduction to it. And I presume that others would be stimulated to read it as well.
If you want a production worthy of the local multiplex, this certainly isn't it. But it does achieve its purpose in both informing people and stimulating discussion, and though it's a bit hokey at times, as in the echoing voice of Screwtape, well, that's forgivable. The discussion guide for small groups that comes with it is a good one too. I think that using it as a 5-part series is probably better than viewing it all at once.
Don't waste your money Jan 18, 2008
This documentary is awful. The production values are low. The music is terrible. The "special" effects are hoakey. The script is unilluminating. In fact, very little attention is devoted to the book itself. It must have been made on a very low budget and was certainly put together with a minimum of talent.
So, So Aug 31, 2007
Not bad, but not great. Would work in a Christian Education setting. Outside of the church it might not fly far.
