04/29/2008 A lot of parallels can be drawn between it and Christianity as far as seeking a life purpose, improving one's self, the need for a savior and learning to depend on more mature Christians for mentorship. See more 03/30/2008 pretty boring through the first half or so. See more 01/20/2008 Sigh.. weak plot.. scattered scenes.. Can use to kill time if you really have nothing to do! See more 10/31/2007 horrible... no plot, poor acting, terrible cinematography... and what the heck is it with all the flashing lights? trying to induce epilepsy? See more Read all reviews
