andrewdec I am so happy that a film about the history of Bro Felix Y Manalo and the Church of Christ (Iglesia Ni Cristo) has finally made to world cinema.This film has been long over due.There is no doubt that the Iglesia Ni Cristo is the true church restored by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in these last days through the preaching function of the last messenger of God, as written and prophesied in the Book of Revelation and the Book of Isaiah.Praise God for the restoration of the true church in the Philippines on the outbreak of the first world war, in these last days!www.incmedia.org iglesianicristo.net

johnlee-93026 Out of curiosity and for educational purposes, I wasted some of my time & money, and actually when to see this movie.This is a propaganda film by a religious cult.Additionally, this film is historically inaccurate and poorly made given the rumored budget of the film as being the highest in Philippine film history.This film also adds to the running list of corruption by INC, its leadership & members - The Philippine Arena, traffic disruption, Airbus plane, political patronage, financial irregularities, etc. To INC - keep it coming. Keep us entertained!

rocinc Felix Y. Manalo was a Filipino, and so am I. It is hard not to be proud at what he achieved. I know he could not have done so without the deepest of conviction, unshakable courage and the will to endure. A film that is about historical figure who fought for what he believes in.Joel Lamangan, the director, gained my deepest respect for his craft and talent.Everyone should watch this movie about the courage of one Filipino who dedicated his life to seek such truth about his belief.

jack sparrow Felix Manalo is a biopic of the first executive minister of the Iglesia ni Cristo(Church of Christ). A story about a man who sought the true religion during his time in the 1900s. His basis for seeking the true religion is through the words of God written in the Bible - testing if the religion he belongs to completely follows what was written in the Bible. Until that fateful 3 days, and the rest is history...The cinematography is excellent for a Filipino film. You will feel as if you traveled back in time during the 1900s in the Philippines. You won't see any influence of the modern times in the film - one of the main problems I see in most Philippine historical films when it comes to the look and style of the portrayal of characters, their actions, and setting - because it breaks the illusion of the movie. The portrayal of every character is perfect - their actions and behavior reflect the time they are in. The Sepia effect is a plus, and fits the movie perfectly. It's soothing to look at. Guaranteed, you will be immersed in every scene.One of the unique aspects of this historical movie is it's battleground. The battles are fought not on a chaotic and violent battleground, but instead in front of gatherings of people - a debate. This is a very cerebral movie, which I'm fond of, and requires the viewer to literally use his mind and think. I found it enjoyable to the point wherein after every victory of sir Felix, you would like to read the Bible to read what he has quoted. The realism is so strong you will feel like you're one of the audiences in the debate.The only part which breaks the illusion is the CGI, but it's just in that one scene. However, it's understandable because CGI tech used is not on par with that on Hollywood films. Still kudos to the CGI team of the movie because it blended well in the background and that's no easy feat.The original uncut version of the movie is 6 hours long, and will be released on DVDs soon. Even after reducing the movie into a 3-hr theatrical version, it still has a lot of important details. Absolutely it will increase the viewer's anticipation of the 6-hour long uncut full movie.This film is a roller-coaster ride of emotions. After watching the movie, it is impossible to believe that Felix Manalo, along with the Iglesia ni Cristo, was able to overcome those trials and odds they faced when it was still starting; and will leave the audience in awe on the status of the church right now. A very eye-opening, very inspiring masterpiece in the art of Philippine cinema.Recommended. Will absolutely watch over and over again. 11/10
