Format:DVD
This film of epic proportions was beautifully written, photographed and acted. The authors attempted to stay authentic to the location, clothing and props of the time. This is a word-for-word production of John's gospel, based on the Good News Bible Translation of the American Bible Society.
This movie is the product of Canadian and British talent. Henry Ian Cusick is gives a phenomenal performance as Jesus - charismatic, warm, confident, sincere. He is by far the best dramatic Jesus on film so far. The cast truly supports his performance, and they give flavor and emotion to the story. Watching them, one believes that these disciples are truly devoted followers.
The music was composed by Jeff Danna using instruments authentic to the time and region. While the dialogue can be repetitive, it stays true to the book. It is a 3-hour movie, but I was never bored, even though I already knew the story. The suffering and crucifixtion were handled delicately and with tact, and were only a small part of this film. The resurrection scenes are beautifully shot.
I recommend this movie to anyone with any interest in the life of Jesus, the bible, Christianity or history.

Warning: this DVD will transform your life!! watching it made the scriptures come alive in my life. i would recommend this for the anyone who is searching for God and for those that want to know God more. I couldnt stop the tears rolling....tears of joy at how much God had to sacrifice so i may have a place in heaven when i leave earth. the insults and the beatings Christ endured for me.....He took on what i would never have been able to in 1000 years. you need to watch this. your life will be transformed greatly.

I really enjoyed this production. It brings the gospel of John to life, and because it uses the direct words of the scriptures, it pierced my intellect, to reach my heart! Well done 'Visual Bible' productions!

So realistic
You can imagine you are really there seeing the gospel lived out and it is really useful to use a clip instead of a gospel reading
