DECISION (2011)

I rented the HD version of this movie and just watched it on my Kindle Fire. There was a really great storyline here, with meaningful themes. A grieving, troubled family, the reparation of family relationships, overcoming hardship by learning to trust in and rely on the God who made us all and sent His Son to save us. There was never any doubt where this story was going, but the journey to get there proved to capture my interest and cause me to shed tears. The acting wasn't professional throughout, but the story was strong enough it didn't matter much. I loved how the theme of forgiveness was carried throughout the movie. What I found lacking was the complete BIblical references to how to receive the gift of salvation. Verses were chosen to illustrate some, but not all of God's instructions found throughout the New Testament. It is mentioned in the movie that Jesus Christ was our greatest example of how God wants us to live. If the viewer uses this to reach someone for Christ, be sure to encourage that someone to read and study in the same New Testament quoted from how Jesus started His ministry with the example of baptism by immersion, and inspired His apostles to teach it as how to receive both forgiveness of sins and the dwelling of the Holy Spirit. If the movie had not omitted this act of obedience as a response to a main character wanting to receive salvation purchased for us by Jesus dying on the cross for mankind (and resurrecting from the grave, overcoming death and Satan - which to my recollection was also not mentioned), I would have given it five stars. In all the wonderful scriptures mentioned regarding the "Decision" a main character was being taught he needed to make, the movie left out ones like Acts 2:38, a direct response by the apostle Peter to the question, "What must we do to be saved?"

How can I brand new movie have skips in it??? This is very frustrating!

It is hard to know what to rate it. It was overall a good story. However, it was very boring in so much of the movie. It didn't seem to start moving till about 28 minutes into it. I only watched it because I like Natalie Grant's music, but wow the acting was a struggle to watch. I loved that the gospel was presented in this movie, so I hate to rate it lower, because we can certainly use more movies that portray real life and the hope of Jesus Christ in them. It is just a really slow movie. Some good relationships in there, especially between the grandfather and grandson. Natalie Grant's music is only played the last 45 seconds of the movie.

Love this movie came in fast

When it comes to Christian movies I think I've seen them all and I'm always looking for more. This one is very good with scripture quotation and a reverent attitude toward Jesus Christ. The title refers to the personal decision every person must make to receive Christ. The story is about a mother and son grieving over the loss of the husband in the family with a sub plot of forgiveness between family members. If you like Christian movies, give this one a try. It's very good.

I like how one of the characters reaches out to a young person ... with their rugged manner of doing things and leads them to the Lord. The pace gets a little slow, yet it is great evangelistic film for the young and old.

This is a great movie. It really shows how different life can be even in difficult times when you have Jesus on your side. Life starts when you accept Jesus.

i thought thiswas a good family movie with a good message! i'd recommend it to others.

It was a good movie.
