Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

This is a drama about how faith affects ordinary people. Those seeking a depiction on how air brushed air-heads get saved or not by some fantastical entity should perhaps try some specialised channel or You-tube instead. That this drama ends advocating the only way forward is to embrace a lack of faith is an interesting concept and should not be seen as threat to those who currently believe. It is expertly acted by all and there is no requirement for super-duper special effects which ITV ( not BBC folks, this wasn't made by them ) couldn't afford in any case. Having said all that, I did find the ending a bit rushed resulting in a trite and sentimental conclusion.

It was a two-part miniseries, the first half opened with a bang, and maybe even a bit of hope. The second half ended with a whimper and even ends basically with misery! It basically ended up taking us nowhere. Why introduce a 3rd Testament that would disprove the existence of God? The whole thing ends up being just a farce. I was really hoping that they were going to take this somewhere. The pacing is very slow, and sometimes the music seemed off cue. The music makes you feel disoriented. The message of the whole movie is meaningless! I wished that I had watched Hell's Kitchen instead! Gordon Ramsay would've added some substance to this rather bleak ending.

This is well worth the price of the DVD, a brilliant thought provoking TV drama that is a cut above the rest. Starring Christopher Eccleston and Leslep Sharp....it will fascinate and at the same time entertain you. Chris is Steven Baxter the Son of God..who gives the world 5 days to write a third testament or face judgement day!!! Not over the top like a Hollywood blockbuster but down to earth like Steve himself. Although the end may offend some religious people....although this does not include myself i loved the end despite believing in God, it is well worth spending 3 hours of your life watching and thinking.If the story does not hold your attention then the acting will. Chris Eccleston gives one of his best performances to date....the rest of the cast are also brill too.

The film tells you to be aware and conscientious. It also destroys any and all things, the Bible claims to be true. To people like me the first episode was interesting and the second was disastrous. It has been called "blasphemy", and it is, if you are a believer. It is sad to hear, that many people think of it as a good sequel to the Bible. However, the film shows you a lot of things and subjects, that can be interpreted as a filmic version of the "Revelation". Some of us think, that such things are not to be abused. One good thing about the film is, that it strongly encourages ethical awareness and makes you consider your actions twice. The director just seems to forget, that some people act that way already solely based on the fact, that they believe and love as prescribed in the Bible... Why attempt to change that, unless you be the Devil yourself?
