The Case for Heaven

Such a great film for those who are seeking answers and had some misconceptions growing up in the church. Even those who did not grow up in the church this is a great investigation into what happens to us after we die. Never stop seeking. I was so fortunate to be able to see this film during the three days it was out in theaters. Looking forward to it streaming. Would love to be able to see the extra's.

The wonder and beauty and glory of Life Himself is beyond comparison. I got a little teary when I watched this movie. What a sweet reminder of the gift we have in Jesus! The soundtrack by Eric Owyoung (Future of Forestry) is stunning. And Mani Sandoval is the real deal. It's a beautiful film!

I've read the wonderful book by Lee Strobel, and found it provided answers to the many questions that people have about what happens after a person dies, and what heaven is like if it's real. I was excited to hear about a movie based on the book and did not want to miss it.

I found the movie very good and would recommend it to anyone. A concern is that the movie did not seem to be on-track with the "case for heaven" as the book, and at times it deviated into areas that were not in the book. Occasionally I found myself asking, "How does this support the case for heaven?" The answer was not clear to me. Also I noticed that several topics in the book (such as whether there is evidence for reincarnation instead of heaven) was not mentioned at all.

Is it a good movie you should see? Yes. Does it represent the material in the book well? Only partially. So even if you see the movie, be sure to read the book as it contains so much more I wish had been included.

This had so much uncapped potential. The framework was laid out, but they never dove into the details written in the book. I was left scratching my head during so many moments of this movie. They utilized unorganized cinematography to try and create an ascetic that was never needed in the first place.

The only part that I enjoyed was when they interviewed John Burke, who wrote "Imagine Heaven" based on his research of Near-Death experiences.

As a believer, I was very disappointed.

And if I were an unbeliever, I would have not been spiritually challenged.

Do yourself a favor, and just read the book.

It was disjointed. A few touching moments. Seemed to run in too many directions and didn't make a case at all. I wanted to see more about NDEs. But a lot of random pieces thrown in that didn't have anything to do with the topic. But the movie itself was VERY well made. Just didn't have the right ingredients. Anti-climactic.
