Our church rented a theater and invited guests to come and see this presentation, believing it would be just as great as the episodes of the Chosen we all know and love. This was a torturous string of music videos that were so terrible that people actually got up and left. Way too much music, way too self aggrandizing for the performers, and not enough of the message that matters.
It was a bunch of songs by nobody singers! It was a ripoff
I liked it, but not as great as last year's Christmas special.
Watching this movie was an amazing experience! I didn't expect the musical performances to be so many, but they were profoundly moving and a joy to watch and hear! Each one was so inspiring, memorable, and perfect for expressing adoration to God and His Son Jesus. The way the nativity story was portrayed was believable and very touching. I LOVED this movie and so did others I went with -- so much that some of us saw it a second time! Go see this movie for yourself and be blessed by the reminder of the true meaning of Christmas it will bring!
I’m sorry…I wanted to like this as I love the chosen series. But, NOOOO WAYYYYY. Ugh…it was torture sitting there watching one music video after another, and another, and another…I couldn’t believe it! It was SO. LONG… I love music, but this was way off balance and seemed very self- promoting by the artists. Terrible lip-sync action, fake emotion and just plain boring! It felt like something you’d see on the 700 club. The actual movie part was about 28 minutes. Somebody messed up. Do not recommend.
I've watched last year's Christmas with the Chosen twenty times at least. I can't get enough of it. Not this one -- once was enough, maybe too much. It was one boring song after another, and the monologues were too much of a cut and paste from last year (even the voice inflections were the same). I did think the Children's Choir was fabulous though. Sorry Dallas!
I WOULD GIVE THIS MOVIE 0 STARS IF IT WAS AN OPTION. THERE WAS SUCH A DISCONNECT BETWEEN THE STORY OF CHRIST BEING BORN IN UTTER POVERTY AND OBSCURITY VS THE SELF GRANDISEMENT OF THE PERFORMERS. IT WAS A TRUE TESTAMENT OF SELF LOVE OVER LOVE OF GOD. IF YOU'RE NOT A FAN OF CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN MUSIC, DONT SEE THIS MOVIE. IT SEEMED LIKE SOMETHING YOU MIGHT SEE ON THE 700 CLUB. ALT RIGHT/WHITE. NAUSEATING. IN THIS MOVIE MARY APPARENTLY TELLS SAINT LUKE WHAT TO WRITE IN HIS GOSPEL. ISN'T COMMON KNOWLEDGE, THAT THE WRITERS OF SACRED SCRIPTURE WERE GUIDED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT ULTIMATELY?
This is a series of music videos with a short film clip near the end. I would have been mortified to bring a guest to this “movie”. Definitely not recommending to friends as I had hoped to do. Love the series but don’t love this.
Well done. It was explained weeks ahead of time that the music would be the main thing and that the episode would be short. Numerous announcements about that.
Disappointed!! I thought it would be a movie not YouTube videos. Joseph was miscast too old Mary too, bad wigs. Adding to scripture. I love the Chosen but this was bad!
