Pros: Very funny, light-hearted and serious at the same time

Cons: Needs a little more character development

I highly recommend this movie!This is a Christian sci-fi movie. A lot of people might think to say "Christian" and "sci-fi" in the same breath is an oxymoron. And most of the time this is true. However, in this movie that's... not the case.The bad news and good. First the bad news: this movie lacks character development of most of the characters except for the main guy, Russell Carlisle. This is topical of most sci-fi flicks. In this case, the emphasis is mostly on Russell and the machine that Dr. Norris Anderson has created. And very little emphasis on all the other characters.The good news: The film focuses on Russell's reaction to his philosophy of teaching morally without Christianity on our modern society with hilarious results. He is totally bewildered by all the changes and even more so by the hard-hearted attitudes of the people he meets. He finds that this hard-heartedness is a direct result of this non-Christian morality that he was promoting in his new book.Russell comes to realize that for people to become Christians and have a strong sense of morality *together*, then Christian principles must be taught with morals.Thus, this film in summary teaches the basics of the Gospel in the above context in a way that has never been taught before. I believe that the producers are on the "bleeding edge" of presenting the gospel in an unconventional, but very effective matter. Read more Less
