At first glance, I expected one of those cheap Christian flicks with questionable theological implications. However, " The Encounter" was unexpectedly quite wholesome in its theology and approach to the message of Jesus to salvation.

There are some intense questions asked the Jesus character in this movie. Deep questions that speak to most anybody. And just about everybody can relate to one of the characters. The actor who plays Jesus, gave up his acting career in Hollywood and started his own Christian movie company. This was one of the products of that call - Pureflix. Watch this movie, it'll change you.

It's not the best movie ever, so if you're looking for the next citizen kane you'll be disappointed. However, certain elements came together to make a fun and thought provoking movie. Enjoyed it for what it was.
