Wow.... is all i gotta say. Look at all those positive reviews and the fact that its the only review most of the users have ever made. All the visual effects and scenery are breathtaking?? First thing that comes to mind is substance abuse when i read that other review. Never in my life have i seen a more poorly constructed movie. Its as if they just had a couple extra cameras lying about and some tall guy started juggling them and decided to make a movie out of the footage from it. This movie is beyond terrible, It seems to just defy words. How anyone could write that first review without breaking into laughter or wetting themselves (which i'm sure the publisher did on release) is beyond me. Since the advent of affordable hd camera equipment we seem to be getting a never ending barrage of crappy independent movies. This needs to stop and it needs to stop now before more people are hurt.
This film is known as 'Adventures of Chris Fable' here in the UK - available only through Tesco but can i just say do not bother paying the £3.
I have seen some really poor films - husband and son love all those really poor B-films - yet this is the really the worst. I realise its based on pilgrims progress but the acting, storyline, effects in fact everything is really poor.
I cannot agree with ANY of the previous reviews, maybe i'm not 'christian' enough!! Earlier reviewer said something along lines of 'developing pilgrim progress into action packed film, which is not an easy thing to do - but they've managed!!!' NO THEY HAVEN'T. It actually feels like it was made with a Sunday school, 1 camera and some kid doing special effects on his laptop!!

I put this on for my family based on a "friend's" recommendation. This movie cleared the room faster than a farting lion! If I could have given it zero stars I would have. Anyone giving this a good review is either a Christian with an agenda, someone involved in the making of it, or someone prancing you in to watching it. The special effects were awful. I should have known something was up when the DVD started and my stereo switched automatically to Dolby Pro Logic. Really? In 2010! Since this is IMDb and this should be a legitimate review, I will add that we watch a lot of eclectic movies and enjoy everything from Hollywood blockbusters to early Guy Richie films and foreign features. I appreciate irony, allegory, movies being deliberately camp, etc. This is not that! It is simply an awful movie that, if not for the Christian slant and backing, would never have made it to basic cable let alone to a theater or on to DVD.
I have never seen a more disappointing movie, i bought it from tesco thinking it would be a good children's fantasy adventure but when I started to watch it I realised it was the complete opposite. From the awful actors to the tacky costumes. I haven't got a clue what time zone it is meant to be because most of the adults have old fashion clothing like top hats but then there is robots and modern buildings. Scince when do cowboys happen to have two swords. I know £3 seems cheap but for this movie i felt very ripped of, my family and thought it was made by a drama club with a normal camera. My brother who is 7, my sister who is 10, me 14 and my mum and dad found it funny that it was so rubbish and tacky.
I just wasted £3 on a movie I was led to believe was similar to Narnia - TESCO LIED TO ME!!!!! Do not under any circumstances EVER buy 'The Adventures of Chris Fable' (also known as The Wyld) unless you want to waste 85 minutes of your life watching Christian propaganda disguising itself as a kids movie! The so called special effects were terrible and the musical score was appalling, I think my 4 year old son could do better with a Video camera and a Fisher Price keyboard!!! Don't get me started on the acting! It was so wooden it was untrue - I've seen better school plays! How I sat through the whole movie I will never know, I guess I was just expecting something to happen, which it didn't. I can honestly say I HATE this movie and it will be going to the Charity shop before my kids ever see it - what a load of rubbish!!!!
