Encounter: Paradise Lost

This film is the sequel in a new series from PureFlix.

Bruce Marchiano reprises his Role as Jesus in this film.

So what happens when complete strangers end up in a hotel on the brink of a Tsunami.

Each one has their past and their angers and in the midst walks a stranger.

He seems to know all about each person.

He is Jesus.

What could be a very 'touchy' or even quirky film turns out to be very enjoyable and real film.

Jesus explains how he feels their pains, and knows them.

How do you deal with explaining deep issues of the faith?

This is a fine line that can be preachy, or heretical, or even just come across as forced like those old 2 person plays that you wrote in elementary school.

Yet PureFlix does a great job of dealing with the views of those who are seeking and doing it with care.

Bruce plays Jesus in such a real and loving way that helps you love and cherish his words.

I highly recommend this film!

I was seriously anticipating the DVD "Encounter Paradise Lost" because the first movie "Encounter" was so fantastic. In fact, I liked the first movie so much I pre-ordered (without a drop in price I might add) Paradise Lost.. I've watched the first Encounter no less than 20 times and it's still good every time I watch it.

The second movie in the "series" (I hope) was about 20 minutes too long and not nearly as well thought out as the first. The dialogue was difficult and strained, and the characters never really developed enough for you to actually feel like you knew them.

Don't get me wrong, Encounter Paradise Lost is still a great movie and one I would recommend to anyone looking for a good Christian film. The content might make it difficult for a person under 12 to view it with understanding, but a 'mature' 12 year old might be able to follow it OK.

Overall, I was a little disappointed after seeing the first movie especially so many times. It just keeps getting better each time. I can't say that for the second Encounter.

I hope they are hurriedly at work on a third "Encounter" that will return to the themes and character types of the first movie. I will be in line to purchase it as soon as it is announced!!!

This sequel, although, different from the setting of the first movie, The Encounter, still portrays Christ in a true light. Bruce Marchiano does another execellent job in showing the love and mercy of Christ in a such a biblical manner. This movie took a different twist in that instead of dealing with the more simple everyday issues of life facing ordinary individuals such as the desire for prestige and power, the ugliness of child abuse, and marital conflict, it took a turn to show us an encounter from inside the world of drugs and violence, while still remaining tasteful and not too graphic. You were able to see how Christ can save anyone, no matter how far into sin they fall. Christ Jesus is the answer for a lost and confused world!

I thoroughly enjoyed it, and look forward to more encounters. I hope they will remain as true to the Bible as this one and the first one.

Wonderful to watch how Pure Flix deals with certain issues. Great how they portray the violence, but downplay the intensity.

I own the first Encounter movie and I was looking forward to Encounter Paradise Lost. I was not disappointed. I think it was uplifting like the first one that answers the question WHY? It is amazing that people would meet Jesus and not accept Him, but I quess it happens all the time,what a shame.
