The Shack (I) (2017)

The Best Christian Film To Date

[10/10 · 26 November 2021]

Is this movie over zealous with its spiritual and Christian themes? Yes. Why? Because it is a Christian movie, and that is it's target audience.

With that out of the way, let's look at the film as a whole. It is absolutely gorgeous, amazing CGI, amazing scenery and symbols planted throughout. This movie is meta with its imagery and how the scenes go hand in a hand with the message being delivered.

The messages are quite universal, and more geared towards spiritual freedom. There is even a quote from Jesus about how religion is work, he doesn't want slaves. He wants friends and family to share life with. This movie is right on the nose with positive, life changing resources and mindsets.

The acting is amazing, and a round of applause to the actors involved. We have a wide range of POC representation, to further impose the universality of love.

This movie is amazing. In its story, it's imagery, it's messages, it's feelings and acting. 10/10, beautiful film.

Spoiler alert, you will need a box of tissues for this one.

Good for the family

I remember my sister and I loving this movie as kids, we'd watch it over and over again. I decided to show it to my younger brother for Easter after not seeing it for years. I will admit, the animation is a lot uglier than I remember haha. But it was made in 2005. Honestly tho, the story is good. It held my little brothers attention, it has some humor that I can enjoy. The voice acting is decent, and don't get me started on the music. Super catchy and not at all cliché or cringey. I honestly wish they'd remake the movie with better animation, and keep the songs and voice acting the same. It's been a while since I've seen the original so this is an unbiased review in comparison, but we're gonna give that a watch next (:
