Scholars debate whether the Star of Bethlehem is a legend created by the early church or a miracle that marked the advent of Christ. Is it possible that the star was a real, astronomical event? From Producer Stephen McEveety (The Passion of the Christ) comes an amazing documentary on the Star of Bethlehem.

Perfect cast and a good story

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Billie Morin

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

This might of been interesting had the DVD came with instructions on how to download a print a visual aide to help you get a more clear vision of the night of the birth of the Christ Child. This concept of this special had me excited. I could not wait to watch. Once I started watching what I saw was a hack job of filming and editing. This is not worth your time.

I believe in the message of Christ and his teachings. Now all the stories about his birth and everything about it I find to be "Wishful thinking". I was looking forward in watching this. What I got was a Sunday School class with poor visuals and no give and take. I think the same material could be presented "Again" however the Pastor could have a better dialog with the people in the audience. Also when he shows us the visuals its only for a moment. Next time sire get someone that knows how to film something like this.

Review Date 2/6/2018 PLEASE BEWARE OF SOME REVIEWERS THAT ONLY HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. I HAVE OVER 400 REVIEWS OF "CHRISTMAS RELATED FILMS & SPECIALS" WHEN ITS A POSITIVE THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE NO AGENDA! I REVIEW MOVIES & SPECIALS AS A WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN! I HAVE DISCOVERED MANY GEMS IN MY QUEST TO SEE AS MANY " C H R I S T M A S " MOVIES AS I CAN.Now Someone keeps reporting my reviews. I guess they are jealous because I do tell the truth. I want to point out that I never make snide remarks about actors weight or real life sexual orientation. If there acting is terrible or limited "I talk about that". If a story is bad "I will mention that" So why am I being "picked on"? IMDB? When one of my reviews gets deleted IMDB will not even tell me what someone found offensive. Well on to this reviewPresenter Rick Larson walks you through Biblical and historical clues revealing the incredible significance of this celestial event as well as the vastness of God s creativity. Features: Produced by Stephen McEveety (Braveheart, The Passion of the Christ) Dramatic presentation on the significance of Bethlehem s Star and its connection to the life of Christ.Now I believe Jesus was an actual person. The events surrounding his birth life and death are always controversial. Now this one presentation was poorly filmed and edited. Because this was a videotaped lecture most of the time the camera is just focused on Rick Larson. He has visual aids that that he refers to but the camera really doesn't cut to the visuals. One time the camera just cuts to "Nothing" and we just hear the man talking. I think whoever made this DVD was just out for a cash grab. The filmed it and just put on a DVD to sell without much effort in post production. The whole thing needs to be blocked and re-shot with multi cameras. This was poorly made. It is so bad you may fall asleep.Now again the information is interesting but the presentation shown here was made for a live audience. So there is no impact on a home viewer. It would of been an easy fix in post production. They could have shown the "Visulas" more clearly and use the original voice track over the visual inserts.If you own this film I am not "critical of the message" just the way "You delivered it"

This stands out from other films of its type by declaring how its conclusions were reached, offering the viewer the chance to check them independently. This would require the use of a specific software package (identified in the film) and perhaps a little enthusiasm to learn some basic astronomy (which is probably needed to use the software anyway). I have not yet checked the results myself, because I found the case so convincing, but I have made a mental note to do so eventually.if you find the story of the star of Bethlehem and the many wise men charming but hard to believe (astronomers, not astrologers probably, and there were most likely many more than three) then this is the film for you.
