Mild melodrama that will keep you involved from the very beginning to the end. A little cheesy in a few spots but overall a great perspective and thought provoking plot about what it might be like Behind the scenes of life as God is constantly working out the details covering All our choices... good, bad or ugly. ***** Great example of how good and evil are constantly at work in ways we never see and how having (the modern day)Jesus in the loop of our lives can keep us from suffering... at the hands of (DeVille), sin and it's consequences, or the worldly traps and temptation that await us all. ***** Also uniquely woven in is how God turns some peoples bad choices, and neglect of His voice, into good things, When we finally seek Him and His guidance in our lives. ***** Based firmly in a holistic evangelical view of The Bible, mostly without controversial theology to get hung up on. Of course some folks are Always willing to dispute, argue, debate, or invalidate... so allow them their moment and keep focused on the bigger picture:) ***** Highly recommended for church groups or just inviting a lost friend, enemy, relative, neighbor or co-worker over that is Thinking about GodJesus or on the edge of making a choice for eternal life and salvation in Christ. Or anyone you think won't just get and run away:) ***** Also a Great conversation starter, Q & A, group study and prompt to go further into God's Word and deepen our relationship with Him. ***** It helps us see and remember that If we Keep in contact through The Holy Spirit with The Father God and The Son Jesus Christ through His Word and Prayer Daily our lives can take a major turn around for the better, Today, tomorrow, and for life and eternally. ***** Bruce Marchiano plays a Great Jesus. He is also Jesus in the Visual Bible series of The Book of Mathew and The Book of ACTS(flash backs) which also are Great study helps in visualizing The Bible. Bruce(Jesus) takes just a little warming up to at first appearance... once the preconceived notions from portraits and other media fade out he just begins to seem like... Jesus. Outside of his performances and his book, in interviews... he just seems like a fallible regular dude struggling to overcome humanity, sin, the enemy and the world... just like the rest of us. Amen. ***** Blessings in Christ... see you at the table... when we all get there:)Read full review
Had seen Bruce as Jesus in "Mathew". He instantly became my favorite actor portraying our Lord and Savior, as he is a Believer, The Encounter is an awesome take on a modern day 'encounter" with Jesus. Superb casting. (former Pro Wrestler) Sting shows his acting chops here. ALL cast members sincerely gave an awesome performance. All tech and support crews also contributed to one of my favorites and highly recommended films. High production value. A homerun for all involved. WATCH this movie .... but for an AWESOME preface, watch Bruce in Mathew FIRST. This film will mean even more to you if you do. Also watch The Encounter- Paradise Lost, The Encounter series. Don't miss Bruce making cameos as Jesus in other films like the Revelation Road films. I was Blessed by this film and I'm hoping you will be too. Read full review

My husband first saw this movie on TV late one night after I had gone to bed. At first he wanted to wake me up, but he decided to DVR it to watch again with me later. AM I EVER GLAD HE DID!!! *Woweee* - this film is packed with masterful performances by all; it is reality-based as it addresses some tough modern-life issues (along with an ancient one) - and answers them with the gentleness and clarity of the timeless Christ. It never once makes the viewer think that life in Christ will be - or even should be - easy, but that, in growing through our hardships by staying focused on God, redemption and everlasting life are our rewards. We are passing our copy around to loved ones, and I am truly missing it! I will probably end up buying more to pass around, and one to keep for ourselves, since I would love to watch it again! Its message of hope in this dark world is ageless, a message we all need to hear over and over, lest we forget. God bless us, every one. Eyes on the Prize.Read full review
This is a WONDERFUL movie. There is NO DOUBT about it being a Christian movie. I do believe that this would be a GREAT movie to pass around to your unsaved family and friends who are kind of "on the fence". It really shows how EVERYTHING can change in a minute. My husband who is still a "baby" Christian really enjoyed watching it and thought we should buy one for each family member's who are unsaved. Which is pretty amazing. It kept both of our attention. Bruce Marchiano did a GREAT job playing Jesus. Felt as if he was not going directly from a script but from his heart. The others felt a tad to scripted but will say Borden and Velasquez did do good for not being actors. If you get a chance --see this-- keep it on the shelf -you never know when you might have a chance to show to someone who is unsaved.Read full review
The dvd arrived on time and in perfect condition. To me the movie itself is very engaging and keeps you wanting more, even when it ended it almost makes you want to watch it again. the actors portrayed their characters very well. it is very well written, in my opinion.
