Unbroken: Path to Redemption

It is a passable movie; the plot is decent and Samuel Hunt's acting is good.

Unbroken Path To Redemption

I feel overall this was an opportunity missed to really engage with post traumatic stress disorder and how medical intervention needs to presume it is present until they can confirm it is not.

The movie then sank into an abyss of alcoholic self-medication that was totally understandable in the absence of professional intervention.

The acting as good and Samuel Hunt in the lead role gave an intensity to the role. How good he fail with bone structure and indeed hair like that.

His redemption in the form of finding faith is to easy to condemn, it worked for him, it's his story and who I am to criticise.

Without being unfair there really wasn't enough here of a story to make a movie 5/10

I almost didn't go see this movie because of the terrible ratings. I'm glad I analyzed them enough to make a good decision to see this film which we enjoyed very much.

Politics has no place in Hollywood; films are created to entertain the viewer. I do not go see films based on personal beliefs and can accept and can even feel pleasure in seeing other people overcome their demons and find happiness in whatever positive manner positive. I'm not a believe in religion but am a believer in what works for those who do.

The story needed what happened and being that this is a "true story," it shouldn't be rewritten to make people more tolerating and compassionate.

I believe a lot of people will miss out on a truly heart breaking and inspiring movie due to the ratings because some subject matters triggered viewers who are not tolerable of beliefs that differ from their own which is a shame.

I predicted the ending but I'm thankful that I was correct as it was what I wanted to happen. I could relate to many situations in this movie. However, my story and methods were different but with the same outcome. Fighting and not giving up is all that matters, How people obtain their freedom and happiness is not to be judged.

Go see the movie, shed a tear or two and smile.

The avg. IMDB star rating for this movie is suffering due to the older audience this movie appeals to. I've seen perfectly grammatically correct reviews praising this movie, frankly raving about it, yet they only gave the movie 3 or so stars. I think some older folks are new to IMDB and don't understand how its star rating system works. 10 stars is good and 1 star is bad.

Anyway, the detail in the PTSD depiction was amazingly accurate and Samuel Hunt is an exceptional actor. I loved this movie for the accuracy in that. I understand the disappointment one Christian expressed over the minor coverage of what changed Zamperini's mind, convincing him to stop hating and blaming God, but to instead trust Him. As an atheist, I certainly didn't mind the short treatment of this, but I will point out that Pure Flix has gotten lots of heat for dedicating full movies to trying to persuade atheists. They've probably learned not to do that. Even another IMDB reviewer didn't like how preachy this movie still is, as though the aim should be for Christian studios to make movies that are indistinguishable from those of secular studios. I certainly don't expect that.

Another reviewer dedicated their entire review of this movie to insulting Pure Flix for its previous movies which were dedicated to persuading atheists. Some atheists think movies where an atheist is a villain should never exist, even if atheists are also good guys in the same movie. So I'll grant that you Christians were quite mature about Monty Python movies, Carrie, the Shawshank Redemption, and many of Universal's recent anti-Christian movies like the highly fictionalized Boy Erased, but I just don't think many atheists are quite ready to return that favor to you. Sorry. :-/

I don't confess to being a Christian but i enjoyed this Sequal to Unbroken. The Acting, Story, directing......nearly everthing about this film was entertaining and satisfying. Too bad the film is not doing well at the box office cause it deserves to be a huge hit!
