zaqzaq131 Thanks for team who made this movie, it is great to talk about God, I have an opinion about the 6 days, My opinion based on two points, The first point is how we calculate the day, the day is calculated by the rotation of a planet around itself a full cycle in front of the light source that illuminates it, such as the planet Earth rotate around itself a full cycle in front of the star sun, each cycle calculated a day, varies day from planet to planet, for example, one day on the planet Venus is equivalent to 243 days on planet Earth, we on planet Earth look at our planet we calculate time and days according to our planet Earth, The second point is the theories of scientists such as Albert Einstein proved that all the components of the whole universe in the movement of continuous rotary and all objects stars and galaxies revolving in orbits, I think the whole universe revolves around itself too, Through these two points, I believe that God counts the day through the rotation of the whole universe around itself in front of God the source of light for the universe "John 8:12". God used the word Day as a common word to describe the time as we know what is the day, but through God's perspective about the day Unfortunately I can't prove my opinion, hopefully you can
TheLittleSongbird In fact while I really admired what The Genesis Code tried to do, I had a somewhat mixed view on it. For me, while it is not a movie worth a perfect 10, it is nowhere near bad enough to warrant a 1. I thought the production values were quite good, looking almost real at times(with the exception of moments of monotonous photography), and while stereotypes I did find myself sympathising with the lead characters and the priest, particularly Blake. Logan Bartholomew and Kelsey Sanders are very likable in the lead roles with a sweet chemistry and Jerry Zandstra also acquitted himself nicely. There are however a number of things that let The Genesis Code down. The concept was good and really quite ballsy, but the execution of it seemed rather muddled. The script is rather talky and often doesn't seem to know what it's talking about which is likely to confuse people like it did me. Where The Genesis Code is going to cause polarisation(and I can see through the reviews and the useful votes that there is already some going on) is how people are going to find it thought-provoking and how many are going to find that it talks down to them. For me, I can see both sides, I thought there were some decent ideas that later were poorly explored or convoluted in execution. The story is also confused, eventually does get tedious- sadly a lot of the movie does drag on and on- and even manages to short-circuit the initially touching love story to falling flat. Blake's heartache with his mum was actually quite affecting though. Actors like Ernest Borgnine, Louise Fletcher, Lance Henrikssen et al. immediately show some kind of promise, but a number of them only have a couple of lines or have appearances that would class as a walk-on. They're fun to spot and do what they can with what they have, but they deserved much more. In conclusion, a good idea that came across as muddled yet well-intentioned, making it a movie I neither loved or hated. 5/10 Bethany Cox
jenniferjbishop My husband and I took our 12yr old son and cousin's daughter (11) and they loved it. My husband is a math major and is very science minded, he has read "The Science of God" and said that it follows the book as far as the theory. I loved the way they weaved a strong story line into the movie as well. A great job! Keep making movies that we can bring our children to see that are GOOD to watch as well. I've been telling everyone I know to go see this movie. Especially those that are struggling with putting science and God in their lives together. This is definitely not just a "Christian movie". In today's society of "hate movies" it's so refreshing to see a positive movie that actually has a plot.
Donald Loder I think anyone reading IMDb reviews of this film should be aware that as of this posting, there are 3 reviews. Two of which think the film is awful and one thinks it's wonderful. It's important to note that "wonderful" review was made by someone involved with the film and it's public relations. The username given "markv22" is surely the same person who runs the Genesis Code facebook page with the same name and initial. I'm a Christian who has tried very hard to balance secular and scientific fact with my belief in the Bible and I thought this movie not only panders to the Christian crowd but also does it a great disservice. Anyone with the most rudimentary knowledge of cosmology or even someone with the ability to search wikipedia would know this film's "science" is about as real as episode of Lost in Space. Sure, it throws around names and jargon to make someone without a science background think "Oh, they just mentioned Einstein or Cosmic Background Radiation, this is smart stuff!" but so does any episode of Star Trek and it doesn't make the Federation any more real. Even still, a false premise can still be well-told or entertaining but unfortunately, The Genesis Code is neither. The story is disjointed and scattered and doesn't know if it wants to be an Afterschool Special, science lecture, or propaganda. The dialogue isn't natural at all and the characters are flat and/or stereotypes (the black guy, the Asian girl, and the Jewish kid all have their stereotypical lines or back stories) while the secular school dean is a borderline Nazi. Add to that a story in which the protagonist's mother is on death's bed but we must stop now and have a wacky romp through a museum for what feels like a full act of the film that only seems to try and showcase how much the writer knows and not move the story anywhere but to a stop. The editing and pace drag from one scene to another as if you were being shown a collection of keepsakes to which only the owner has any connection. The positives of this film are how rich it looks on what (I hope) was a small budget. It certainly feels large for this kind of film. The acting is pretty decent as well, considering the dialogue and I think the main cast does a good job with this material. I saw it in its limited release in Michigan and I unless it is further edited (I don't know if this film was in a somewhat test audience stage or what), I couldn't recommend it...to anyone.
