"While offering some fascinating information about movies and their history, the author gives film (as a medium) unnessecary theological merit, focusing too much on aesthetic attributes and how they help us learn about God and His character/nature."
"I'm fascinated by a fact mentioned early on in this book. Most people have seen at least 58 movies in a year...and the church has turned its back on engaging non believers through the language of the movies. It has become so easy for me to open a conversation with "What good movies have you seen lately?" It's a great way to dialogue about things that are important to each one of us. This book is designed to help one really evaluate a movie on the basis of universal themes. Johnston maintains that we need to learn how to "see" a movie and the needs it ministers to in an individual. Great read so far! Recommended by my friend/son-in-law Tony! He was reading it as part of a Seminary class at Fuller."
"Loved the idea of the book. I like movies, so this was very interesting to me. It kept my attention and I though it made some pretty fair points. I do think, however, that some people may find his point about cinema and theology to be too forced.
