I like some parts of the episode but found the portrayal of the creation museum owner offensive and inaccurate. Creation scientists don't ignore evidence, they simply interpret the scientific and geological evidence from a different background. And as for the age of artifacts, they posit that carbon dating is inaccurate due to assumptions of uniform rate of decay. They don't pretend that artifacts and fossils aren't what they clearly are. Hollywood should stop disrespecting alternate views and have more respect.
The oldest review is rather shameful...it's not indoctrination to tell kids the truth and Mary was a virgin, no need for the quotes. The movie's good and worth seeing. It's great that it got a theater release, considering the junk in Hollywood today. Also I don't agree that it trivializes the story at all.
Even though the movie doesn't capture the story as well as the book, I'd say it's at least worth the watch. Even if it is kinda long, especially if you've rented it and are trying to squeeze all the parts in.
I do enjoy the movie's (and the book's) allegory with good vs evil and the Christian stuff. I'm not really a big King fan actually, this is the only one of his books that's appealed to me so far. (read Running Man once, haven't been wanting to reread it.) There are a few disturbing scenes but if you enjoyed the boo, I'd say the movie is worth watching although the book is better.
