72 virgins This film is a wretched disfigurement of what any film is supposed to be: entertaining, able to be followed, and containing a well thought-out plot. When roughly half the film is some gibberish language that has no subtitles, nor hints at what they are ever talking about, the film is dissatisfying as well as not easily followed. No person wants to sit down and listen to dribble acted out by second rate actors who could obviously be seen stammering, even when one does not know the language. These are blatant markings of a failure. And as if the these negative aspects are not enough, the film is not even built around a well written plot.In conclusion, the film is a complete and total failure in the eyes of any sane human being; it is not interesting, can not be followed, and it does not contain a well-thought plot. This film is not fit for viewing. The only way this film could be of any use would be as an example of le bad cenema.

drystyx I knew what the story was, about the 5 missionaries who were killed by savages, and still more missionaries refused to give up on them.I hadn't realized how truly objective the film was going to be. We are given points of view of both villagers and missionaries. There is no sugar coating. We get the faults of humans, and their struggles. No one is spared this. Facts are there. It is what it is. There is no evangelism in this film. Only the acts of people helping a savage tribe survive and live past their teenage years, in spite of what more mercantile people want to do to the savages.Some have blindly lashed out against the film for being pro-Christian. I have to laugh at those immature minds and tell them to grow up. Fact is, missionaries are often the only help that poor, starving, ailing people have. I have never seen such objective story telling. If the Atheists truly are that afraid of Christian martyrs, that speaks volumes in itself.

arun-ladoo Where can I start...Oh yes the dialogue...the narrator resorted to lines such as "the tribe has lived here since the beginning of time", and the missionary father says to sun with reference to the distance the earth is to the sun.."you know that's only a fraction of the amount I love you" - ah yes it's bad. The historical/anthropological aspects of the film are decent but I don't know how much to believe yet and clearly the missionary enterprise can only bring good to the "natives"- I say that with a volumes of sarcasm. The ending is somewhat lackluster and is suspect for Christian propaganda. This film is really not worth watching, in fact I would rather spend the time viewing cheese filled 80s flick - certainly a more useful use of my time. Common people if you give this film a decent rating the standards have certainly gone down Sorry to the missionaries out there....

mbrenne235 This was a movie that grabs you and moves you as only a real life event can. The protagonist was committed to helping a wild jungle tribe stop killing each other to the point of extermination. His mission would be considered suicidal by most people. Yet he wanted to give these people hope, by replacing their hatred and anger with hope and the knowledge of Jesus Christ. You won't be bored by this movie. It was filmed on location in South America, and accurately depicts the lifestyle of these Indians. The biggest negative to me, was the leading role of a devoted Christian missionary was played by an actor who not only rejects the role he played in, but actively fights against the Christian cause. He is a homosexual activist. I was disappointed, because knowing that ahead of time, made his part less believable. Nonetheless, he played the part well.
