And while I’m sure the movie studio would love for every Christian to head out to the theaters and see Son of God, they’d probably settle for, like, half of that. Either way it’d be a nice payday. Son of God is actually just a condensed version of the History Channel’s ten part miniseries "The Bible". They cut it down to a couple of hours and threw it up on the big screen. One thing Christians (and really all organized religions) are good at is getting that money, son. If you already have the footage you need, get people who could have watched it for "free" to pony up the bucks to watch a shorter version of it the theater. Amazing really. Interestingly enough, this is pretty much also the business plan for much of religion in general.

The Metacritic score for the miniseries was about 44%. Can we expect the film to be much better? It’s doubtful, though even if you feel like the editors only included the very best parts, how much better in critics eyes can we realistically expect this to be? I’d contend not too much. But a hit at the box office? I bet it makes a bunch of money. Jesus going to make it rain at that box office.  "Son of God" is lovingly made from start to finish. It is a warm and moving picture of the life of Jesus from the beginning to the resurrection. Producer Mark Burnett said they could not possibly film everything that happened in the gospels, so he selected certain highlights that conveyed the character and nature of Jesus as the true Son of God.

"Son Of God" opens with a declaration from the book of John, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God". The film reinforces that pronouncement with various events including Adam being created from the dirt, scenes of Noah and Moses leading up to the eventual telling of the story of Jesus. His birth in Bethlehem and His baptism by John the Baptist were clearly portrayed. Other moving scenes include Jesus teaching the Beatitudes, walking on the water, the feeding of the multitude, and raising Lazarus from the dead. The film treats Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem on a donkey followed by the Last Supper and His betrayal with careful detail.

Of course no story of the Son of God would be complete without His resurrection. I found myself spiritually stirred as I watched this movie. The brutality of the crucifixion reminded me of what Christ willingly endured to redeem the lost. It renewed me. The movie is filmed in Morocco with realistic scenes including incredible views of the temple in Jerusalem. It is one of those rare pictures that features stirring music, a great story, and a superb cast. The viewer will feel Mary's pain as Roma Downey does a remarkable job portraying the mother of Jesus witnessing her son cruelly tortured and crucified. Diogo Morgado is a strong and convincing Jesus. We recommend "Son of God" and award it our Faith Based Seal.

This is a movie with a message. It willl take you on a powerful, compelling and, in the end, spiritual journey. Two films with Biblical storylines are going to be released in the next few weeks. One of them, Son of God, is already selling out midnight screenings for its late February premiere date to church groups. The other, Noah, was re-cut half a dozen times by producers — apparently unsuccessfully — to try and win over Christian movie-going audiences, according to director Darren Aronofsky. This year is actually a crowded one for Bible-based story lines. Some are Christian films, some are not. And apparently, that's sometimes tough for the studios backing them to untangle how to sell them.

Son of God is produced by Mark Burnett and Roma Downey, who also made The History Channel's Bible miniseries. The pair are capitalizing on the commercial success of that miniseries by releasing the mix of re-purposed and new footage from The Bible as a film. And they're also Christians, making a Christian movie. On the other hand, Noah is not an explicitly Christian film, although it has its basis in a well-known biblical story, to which it remains rather faithful. Aronofsky, it should be noted, did not make Noah to glorify God, or to promote religious belief. He was understandably opposed to his studio's efforts to repackage the film in the editing booth for a conservative Christian audience. But Son of God is above all evangelical. Burnett and Downey want it to reaffirm faith for Christians, and trigger faith in the non-believers who see it.

As is pretty common whenever a Christian-friendly film comes out, its promoters discuss the work as a "rare" opportunity for an "under-served" audience (i.e. American Evangelical Christians) to experience a faith-based blockbuster. Churches get calls to action, to send a message to Hollywood with ticket sales: buy out the theater, and the secular powers that be will learn that Christian films are good business. Burnett and Downey are even mythologizing their work's power on the marketing trail, sharing a story of an unnamed "non-Christian" reporter who saw the movie and became more "open to investigating Jesus." It may or may not be true, but man, is it a great story. Burnett's film might, just might, convert the "enemy" — the secular media.

The pew-to-stadium seat strategy is a good one to encourage more overtly Christian content, but its not always successful. 2011's Warrior, a non-Biblical but very much faith-based film about mixed marital arts, didn't do well commercially despite widespread critical acclaim and well-received advance screenings with church leaders. But Son of God seems to have most of the God-based industrial complex behind it: as the Hollywood Reporter noted, the pair previewed the film at the National Prayer Breakfast and have the backing of influential celebrity pastors like Rick Warren. In other words, the backers of Son of God are hoping for its own Passion of the Christ moment.

The 2004 Mel Gibson film was a huge commercial success, grossing over $600 million, despite mixed reviews from critics and very understandable concerns over the portrayal of Jewish people in the film. Son of God has even made an attempt to remove its own potential controversy from its big screen version. The producers cut out scenes with the Devil when re-formatting their miniseries for the big screen. That's because, in part, the actor who played the devil bore (for some) a striking resemblance to the current president. The narrative some Christians would like to see here is this: Son of God becomes the next Passion of the Christ, and the non-Godly Noah flops. According to the Hollywood Reporter , some Christian audiences at test screenings were upset by how dark the Darren Aronofsky-directed, Russell Crowe starring Biblical disaster film was, and also by its apparent unfaithfulness to the biblical story.

Plus, for many Christians, the story of Noah will be exactly the sort of messy Biblical tale from which it's okay to take as inspiration. The most controversial scene among Christians speaking out against the film seems to be the one in which Noah gets drunk and sad. But Genesis (the book, not the band) fans will know that this is also a scene in the Bible. Soon after finding land in his ark, Noah gets absolutely blitzed. So having a drunk, imperfect Noah on the big screen should be uncontroversial — it's part of the story. To not depict it would miss an important, very Old Testament message about the brutality of human imperfection. Now that Aronofsky has won his battle with the studios to show his own cut of the film, and not the one studios think will appeal to Christians, it looks like the director's Bible film "for everyone" will remain just that.
