Excellent, a Must See

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

I went looking for a dramatic treatment of Daniel, and this gem awaited me. They clearly did not have an unlimited budget, but the film is no less impacting.The movie benefits from being true to the scriptures. Of course, creative liberties were taken, but they do not detract from the integrity of the story.The quality of the acting varies a bit. The two most important characters - Daniel young and old - are very good. The actors playing the various kings get the job done.Most pleasing of all is the spiritual depth. One can get the plot right yet still not convey the underlying spiritual truths. That is not the case here. We see the kings in their process of discovering that the God of the Hebrews is the true and living God, and one after another comes to worship Him. We see not only Daniel's wisdom and spiritual giftedness on display, but his integrity of character as well. All who are faithful will find themselves in a "lion's den" of one sort or another, when our faith is really put to the test. And that particular scene here was very memorable, calling to mind Briton Riviere's amazing oil panting of the event.This is the kind of movie you can watch many times, for it is more than mere entertainment, it is food for the soul. Everyone connected with the movie should enjoy rich satisfaction for a job well done indeed.

I was eager to see this film, and I purchased it based on your reviews here. All I have to say is shame on you, you know good and well that you are a part of this production, or media group to put up these bias reviews. I was very disappointed in the movie. Obviously no one knows how to properly light a scene, or set up the right camera angle. The costumes were made very poorly, it looks like it is from a Michaels craft store. For anyone to say the special effects were incredible you are lying. Don't lie; the effects were made with a free trial version of some cheap program. The set was obviously made by a church youth group, armed with daisy stencils from once again Michaels, what is up with the daisy stencil covering every square inch of the set. Every so called actor in this disaster came from either the church group or the neighborhood, and posses no professional skills. I try to always look for the best in everything and it appears that you did stay somewhat true to the story. Please don't try to make this out more than it is, which is just an amateur hack job high school talent festival. I am surprised you are not involved in a lawsuit, as you have stolen The Chronicles of Narnia lion on the cover, as well as other artwork.

Ignore the negative reviews. This is very accurate and a true account of the book of Daniel. It has not been ruined by terrible cgi or acting. It is well made and focusing on the facts and the prophecies. HIGHLY Recommended. It has no unnecessary special effects, no added. Acting is good, with some famous actors. content and no over the top scenes. If you want the real story, watch this film. It even has bishops from aliens playing Cyrus! Props are well made and accurate too as are costumes. Feels like a documentary and film in one. It covers Daniels whole life span. It was really good how the prophecies were told too, especially the one about the statue with a head of gold (babylon), shoulders of silver (medes and Persians), chest of bronze (greece), legs of iron (roman) and feet of iron and clay (today). Watch it.

Weak plot and presentation. It emphasizes the primitive belief of the old testament, from the eating of properly prepared meat to rejection of meat, because of their ignorance on proper preparation.Many think of this as part of Christianity but it is fact the early stories of the Jews.The acting was similar to a 1950's or 60's high school production. I would not call this Christian preaching just a poor production of a book from the Bible. There is no personality in the characters. They are two dimensional, flat with few expressions and ability.One of the oddest and metaphysical books in the Bible filled with brazen images and predictions yet nothing was relayed beyond bland dialog.Very much like a stage play.
