The Story is about a Pilgrim who is escaping the city of destruction leaving his family behind and traveling to the Celestial city which he has read about in the Bible. He faces many troubles, temptations, trials, disappointments, failures. But in the end he finally reaches the Celestial city!Not perfect but good presentation. Acting was good as well as the story.The story is easy to understand and relate to. The movie really helps you to prepare for the Eternal Kingdom (Heaven) and how to be a faithful, helpful and hopeful Christian while on earth.You even have young Liam Neeson as the Evangelist,Help,etc various characters. Do watch this movie and stay blessed.

This movie has been a real life-changer, articulately written and directed amazingly which has contributed all the more to its wonderful script! For those of you who know John Bunyan would truly know the value of this novel he wrote and all the pain he put into beautifully upbraiding the gist of the whole story. Though this movie's just a part of the whole book and left many parts untouched, it has truly proved the point. To those you who really applaud Christian-based epics and so forth, The Pilgrim's Progress would indeed be of a great help in knowing more about the inherent truths about the like to a great depth.I give it a 10/10 for the script and the performance of all the actors in this wonderful journey!!! Don't MISS IT!!

The Pilgrim's Progress is the greates English Alegory and one of the greatest works in the English Language. Why could they / did they not strive to make this film stand up to par with Bunyan's classic masterpiece. Just because the film was obviously low budget doesn't mean they have to have low imagination also. But, it was a Ken Anderson Production and that means don't watch it if you you want to live to see the next day. True, Liam Nesson is in it. As a matter of fact this was his first movie debut. Take in mind, that I love The Pilgrim's Progress, and I believe that it can undoubtedly be made into an awesome movie, but I would advise anyone, "Stay away from this version."

Although it was a worthwhile aim to transfer the greatest allegory in the English language to film, this work utterly fails as art because it makes wholesale changes in a book which every student of fine literature should know by heart, and for no good reason. The sets are beautiful and the pace is satisfactory, but making the devil pop up at every turn and ending the movie with him being a "boogey man" rather than one who, as the Bible says, transforms himself into an "angel of light," ruins this seemingly amateur effort at filmography.
