Fascinating

Nearing the end now, it comes to me, that the producers have given us a rather different, yet meaningful look at one of the most poignant books of the Bible and it actually serves as an opportunity to recollect each of the jewels and the setting of each piece of the book that is Genesis! Having spent 9 months in a study of this most significant biblical account, it was an opportunity to recall each of the many parts of the book and have drawn the conclusion that I may need a second glance at it!

Well done Austin Bible church! A crown awaits you in Glory! I'll rank this production right up with Mel's Passion of the Christ!

Bland and unremarkable

No character development. No original text. Some attempt at a poetic narrative rewrite. We didn't make it even 10 minutes.

I think the woman at the beginning was Hagar, but why? You're telling the genesis story from a victim's perspective. Gross.

The plot dragged and did not have any context or explanation. It was entirely disjointed and you have to infer where and who people are. Someone unfamiliar with the Bible would be lost entirely. We turned it off and got The Bible series from Amazon instead.

I don't doubt that there was effort and expense in making this movie, but the oversight of a good script was just too much to tolerate.

A must-see

"The Book of Genesis" does a great job depicting the beginning of mankind. It's informative and engaging and is a must-see.

Love this

I absolutely love this move but was disappointed you did not continue on with more books from the bible. You explained the narrative of genesis in a way even a young viewer can understand. It would be wonderful to see you produce these in order of the Bible. The movie did such an amazing job of bringing everything to life, while the narration helps to fill in the smaller sections. I have watched many movies about the gospels since and have been very disappointed. I was even more surprised to see this was made and produced in Austin Texas. I would love to see another filmed here in Austin. Wonderful.

Refreshing non religious perspective poetic

Thank you for a refreshing non religious perspective cliché driven hokey story. Instead i have witnessed a child like faith story. Sure the acting is not perfect and it doesn't have all the fleshly appealing CGI but it speaks on a spiritual level...Blessings... Hallelujah we have been restored to the Eternal Kingdom through Jesus Christ.I pray for a part II.
