In fact while I really admired what The Genesis Code tried to do, I had a somewhat mixed view on it. For me, while it is not a movie worth a perfect 10, it is nowhere near bad enough to warrant a 1. I thought the production values were quite good, looking almost real at times(with the exception of moments of monotonous photography), and while stereotypes I did find myself sympathising with the lead characters and the priest, particularly Blake. Logan Bartholomew and Kelsey Sanders are very likable in the lead roles with a sweet chemistry and Jerry Zandstra also acquitted himself nicely. There are however a number of things that let The Genesis Code down. The concept was good and really quite ballsy, but the execution of it seemed rather muddled. The script is rather talky and often doesn't seem to know what it's talking about which is likely to confuse people like it did me. Where The Genesis Code is going to cause polarisation(and I can see through the reviews and the useful votes that there is already some going on) is how people are going to find it thought-provoking and how many are going to find that it talks down to them. For me, I can see both sides, I thought there were some decent ideas that later were poorly explored or convoluted in execution. The story is also confused, eventually does get tedious- sadly a lot of the movie does drag on and on- and even manages to short-circuit the initially touching love story to falling flat. Blake's heartache with his mum was actually quite affecting though. Actors like Ernest Borgnine, Louise Fletcher, Lance Henrikssen et al. immediately show some kind of promise, but a number of them only have a couple of lines or have appearances that would class as a walk-on. They're fun to spot and do what they can with what they have, but they deserved much more. In conclusion, a good idea that came across as muddled yet well-intentioned, making it a movie I neither loved or hated. 5/10 Bethany Cox

Loved it. Finally a movie I can take the kids to that isn't filled with Hollywood morals (or lack of). I really liked how it showed that science and the bible don't have to be in conflict. I'm sure there are scientist and biblical literalists out there who will have a fit with this movie, but to me, "reasonably intelligent average Joe Christian" it provided some good explanations to questions that have always been in the back of my mind. Especially loved the preacher in the movie. I know a few personally and they are "real people" with faults and everything. So many times Hollywood either represents them as bumbling idiots or self-righteous saints. The preacher in this movie seemed much more like the ones I know.

It is refreshing to watch a movie with so many positive elements and family values, clean and very entertaining. Needless to say I was at the edge of my seat and will be buying it as soon as it comes out, for 2 reasons, I want to own such a brilliant piece and I want to support the work done by people like these. For me and my family this movie is 2 thumbs up, 5 gold stars, a movie worth watching.Since the evolution theory is so widely accepted but not researched, (at least I know I did not evolved from an ape, neither did my grandparents and ancestors) It is easy to see that we want to question everything and come up with the strangest things when we cannot explain. I read in Readers Digest magazine about how at one point in history Charles Darwin saw an ivy plant on a tree trunk in south America and based on his observation, he thought that the ivy was feeding from the trunk, thing that of course was inaccurate, proving that Charles Darwin, as human that he was made mistakes too.

How do you talk about creation and specifically an intelligent creator without sounding unintelligent? You follow the logic and reasoning that is laid out in The Genesis Code. This movie describes the theology and biology at a deep level while still entertaining. This is a great movie whether you already believe God created the universe or not. The science is proved and solid. I've never seen the Biblical account of creation and laws of science married in such an interesting way. The story moved me to tears several times and ends in a compelling way. We need more movies like The Genesis Code. The Genesis Code is a must-see for the Christan or non-Christian alike.
