On paper this looks great, a cast of fairly high profile British actors, the backdrop of Oxford's architecture and decent cinematography. But the story is just slow and boring. Then throw in the religious element. It's essentially just one of those cheap US religious films with a bigger budget. If it hadn't been for the religious element I doubt it would have got funding, at best it might have ended up as a Hallmark movie. But it's clearly just designed to appeal to a certain audience, perhaps as a back door promotion video for Christianity. If you're a devout christian you might well love it, but for me it was too dull to even finish.

I didn't have high expectations for this. It's clearly low budget, but it's just poor. It looks like it had the budget of a TV advert for washing powder. Even overlooking the historical and geographical inaccuracies, it's just cheap. The CGI looks like it was lifted straight from MS Flight Simulator 2000, the script looks like it took less time to write than the film actually runs for. Rather than just use a scrap aircraft for a set they built a cheap looking one instead. Even the poster art bears no resemblance to the actual film. For example it shows a 4 engine 747, but the film cgi uses a more modern 2 engine Boeing.
