Painful, boring, dull and most of pretentious.

Rating: 1/10 (30 November 2019)

Unless you are and ardent and obsessed fundamental christian, this film is 3 hours of self-flagellation. I can only see two possible reasons for making this film in the first place:
1. You're a fundamental christian to the point of fanaticism, or
2. You are being paid by the celluloid hour (upon hour, upon painful hour).
I suppose, each and every religion has its mythology and stories, and of course persecution and painful history; but this yarn seems to completely miss the point that it was christians invading other countries and trying to infiltrate their faith there.
A pretentious attempt at high drama using incredible landscapes and scenery in an attempt to justify the repetitive drudgery of the film. I sincerely would have enjoyed still frame or slow time-lapse photography of the shooting locations with music, than to try and wade through the slow setting cement.
