Religious. Roman point of view. Commentary, Making Of.

Jul 27, 2016 Interpretation of the people and days between Yeshua's resurrection and ascend to heaven through the eyes of His disciples and especially a Roman officer who worshiped Mars, the god of war. Too bad there was no new…

For those who've seen other "Jesus films" this one offers a unique perspective. Roman soldiers (non-believers) conduct a criminal investigation into Jesus' resurrection (or what happened to His body). It is NOT an accurate re-telling of…

Thought provoking, is it true?did Jesus rise and walk amongst the men and women whom were his followers? Who's to say this didn't or did happen. All I know is I believe. Amen🙏🏾

Really? An overly gory and brutal retelling of another of humanity’s mythe-quests to find a reason for existence. Look to science.

Some people take Hollywood's work as gospel please don't. This is a fictional story it is not in the bible.

I enjoyed this immensely. I didn't take on a story we all know.

A fresh, contemporary look at an old subject---resurrection. Told through the eyes of a tribute--a non-believer, this drama appears better than "King of Kings", in which the Christ makes a mummy stand up and breathe. In this drama,…

Brilliant idea to portray on the happenings after the crucifixion. Well done

Another Story about Jesus and I've seen a lot of stories based on when Jesus was hanged on the cross, died, and had risen but this one version I fully believe in.

I think this is very worth watching. It's not for children, as it does give us a pretty graphic look at the grime and visceral violence in the day to day life of a Roman soldier. I felt it drew us into this life, with its perilous…

An intriguing approach to the subject. I've added this one to my annual Easter movie viewing along with The Robe.

Resurrection is a tough sell to most. Even as an article of faith to many who consider themselves in some sense Christian, it has been eroded in recent years. A lot of demystifying has been done in seminary for years, but now its been…

The movie tells a great faith-based story, though there is some heavy violence. Not for younger children.

Great acting. Shows history from a fresh point. Will watch it again.

As a Christian, I give the resurrection of Jesus a 5 out of 5 stars. :P However, Risen was a cool movie with a unique perspective, but I didn't find it all that stellar or engrossing. Perhaps the "coverage" of the so-called manhunt…

Interesting, fresh take on a familiar story, seen through the eyes of a nonbeliever. The acting is good, and less overly “dramatic” than in the more familiar 50’s cinematic Biblical epics. The sets and costumes seem authentic enough –…

I've seen RISEN a few times. It's not the best Jesus film I've ever seen, but overall, it's a good film. It's about a Roman soldier (played by Joseph Fiennes) who has to investigate the disappearance of Jesus' body. I think most people…

This movie was really deceptive. You think it's going to be a historical mystery film with Fiennes as lead investigator. It is that, for the first 30-40min or so. Then it turns into a straight-up Bible Study movie about the miracles of…

Despite the blood and guts and grand sets, this was dramatically low-keyed, considering the subject. There were some moving moments near the end, but the lack of truly inspiring dialogue left a somewhat vacant feeling. Joseph Fiennes'…

While the Bible clearly tells us about Jesus, his works, and his role as the savior of mankind from their sins, and the author of our eternal salvation, this film, gives yet another viewpoint. This is about a conversion to Jesus from an…

A Roman soldier investigates Yeshua of Nazareth, at a moment where it might have done some good. It's not a spoiler to reveal he confirms, more or less, the biblical accounts. But just about His whereabouts. No one is curious about the…

15 min. in I turned it off. Not a great movie. If you want to see it done with quality and grandeur watch The Rob. It's a far superior movie.

I found it rather boring.
