==Criticisms ==
===Theological Concerns===
While the film remains reasonably faithful to the source material it focuses primarily on the most impactful characters due to time constraints and lacks the theological depth that reinforces the gospel and various virtuous lessons. Some scenes were arguably presented better like the Village of Morality as a mountain of laws that one must navigate to ascend and the Path of Flatterer demonstrating the nature of flattery.
Interpreter omits rooms that serve as foundational for the journey, including the dusty parlour, fireplace, palace, and unprepared dreamer. Additionally, it avoids explicitly stating the meaning of the cage man, who falsely believes he is beyond salvation due to being abandoned by the holy spirit for continuously sinning, leaving Christian to interpret this as foreshadowing his entrapment in Doubting Castle.TPP: Modern-Day Version (Part 1) (2020) (A.V) (Chapter 2, Section 6)TPP (Part 1) (2019) (R.F) (45:37)
Apollyon closely follows the initial false friend strategy but omits the discussion of why God sometimes does not intervene to save believers. 
Important omitted theological discussions: 
* Path of Complacency: avoiding spiritual complacency.
*Palace Beautiful: God's work and prophecies throughout history.
*Town of Graceless: how God uses sinful convictions and reasons for backsliding in faith.
*Row of Foolish Talk: indicators of true faith.
* Town of Fair-Speech: dangers of finding security in materialism and using faith merely for personal gain.
*Path of Crooked: dangers of finding security in trusting your heart over God's word and whether God's grace is a licence to sin.

The supervisors should have a high status among demons, as they are descendants of Lux, who is likely Beelzebub (as his name means 'light') and is the great mind responsible for renaming the City of Destruction to "Not Cursed," yet they are treated poorly as subordinates by Apollyon.TPP (Part 1) (2019) (R.F) (0:38)
Supervisor 5 seems to use a significantly deeper voice when saying "next" during roll call, contrasting with their usual pitch throughout the film.TPP (Part 1) (2019) (R.F) (1:32)
