The Shack

This was an excellent rendition of the novel. I had tears in my eyes for most of the scenes set in the shack with the three persons of the trinity. The way the story depicts Gods immense love for His creation is brilliant. Yes, at times a little preachy but Im okay with it. I loved the 3 choices of actors for the Father, Son and Spirit. Fabulous. And the intensity of their connection and love for Mac was beautiful to watch. I kept saying to God, this is what I want, Lord; to live like this. And crazy to think its how He wants us to live with Him, always staying close and dependent on Him. The story does a great job exploring the mysteries of why does God allow suffering, the role evil plays in the world, the importance of forgiveness and our own susceptibility to being judges of right and wrong. All good reminders for me. I watched the DVD with a non-believer who found it a tad boring and I can understand that. As she said, theres a very specific market for this movie and as far as she was concerned she wasnt it. Which made me sad. However, Im sure the Lord will use this story to convict many non-believers and be another link in the chain that draws them to Him. The scenery is gorgeous and the representation of the shack when God is present is beautiful. And there are laughs as well but I wont spoil it by mentioning the scenes. Im sure Ill be watching it again soon.

Loved it! Every single moment. Heart wrenching. Soulful. Everyone should watch this video.

This movie took me through troubles in my life and made me see things again through the eyes of God.

Doesnt play on a PC if you dont have the right software. Plays wonderful on a basic DVD player.

I bought this movie in 5 min after watching it. Its a long movie but so many aspects and makes you think. Might even transform your mind if youve been feeling distance w God. Its a deep movie, i didnt think it was gona be so sad at times....i swore this was a pightweight christian movie....but had me crying hard esp when the child was abducted. Didnt see that coming...hard to watch. Other than that, maybe 2 parts were slightly woke but not too bad being that the movie was really good. I enjoyed it and highly recommend it.

I was amazed at how this movie made me reflect on my own life. It addresses the realness of God, the son & the holy ghost. It addresses forgiveness and makes you look at how important it is. I cried all the way thru this movie. Have tissues ready.

Such a good portrayal of how our relationship should be with the God the father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

When I first heard that there was a new movie coming out in theaters called The Shack, I immediately looked to see if it was based on a book. Im someone who prefers to read the book first since I love to read. I read the book and LOVED it so I planned to see the movie as well. I finally got a chance to watch it last night and had to give myself time to think about it before I wrote a review on it. The Shack is based on William P. Youngs bestselling novel about a man who goes on a spiritual journey. Mackenzie (Mack) Philips (Sam Worthington) loses his youngest daughter after a tragedy and he blames himself for it. He enters a time he calls The Great Sadness and wonders where God was when his daughter was taken and why would He allow such a thing to happen. Mack receives a mysterious note from Papa, the name his wife uses for God, asking him to meet Him at the shack deep in the wilderness of Oregon. After much deliberation, Mack heads there and embarks on the most soul-searching, trans-formative spiritual journey he has ever experienced. In addition to Sam Worthington, some other notable actors and actresses in this movie include Octavia Spencer who plays Papa and Tim McGraw who plays Macks best friend, Willie. This movie is approximately 132 minutes long and is rated PG-13 for thematic material including some violence. It can be watched in English and Spanish 5.1 Dolby Digital Audio, English Descriptive Audio, Spanish Subtitles, and English SDH. I had already read the book when I watched this movie last night and I cried when reading it so I knew it would make me emotional but I didnt expect to cry during almost the entire movie. The Shack is definitely one of those movies that left me emotionally-satisfied and, if you are a crier, I would definitely grab a box of tissues before watching this. I thought the acting was phenomenal and I loved how beautifully this movie was done. I feel it followed the book pretty closely so if you are mostly interested in watching the movie instead of reading the book, I think you will still be able to really enjoy it. Im glad I read the book first so I knew what to expect and it was nice to see how the movie was done, as opposed to how I pictured it in my mind. If youve read the book and loved it, I highly recommend watching the movie. Its not scary necessarily and the violent acts arent shown. Most of the violence is hinted at based on our knowledge of the subject (a child abduction) but there are a few things shown after everythings happened. Those parts were hard to watch but the rest of the movie was so good that I will definitely watch it again. I have a friend who is eager to see this as well since we both loved the book!

Its very interesting what we might experence thru life, what might come into our life uninspected

Great movie. Need Kleenex!!
