Disclosure of Material Connection: I received one or more of the products or services mentioned for free in the hope that I would mention it on my blog. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.”I didn’t get to see Son of God when it was in theaters earlier this year so I was excited when I was given the chance to review the Blu-ray which is now available.

About Son of God

Now, the larger-than-life story of The New Testament gets a larger-than life treatment in the stand-alone feature SON OF GOD. Told with the scope and scale of an action epic, the film features powerful performances, exotic locales, dazzling visual effects and a rich orchestral score from Oscar®-winner Hans Zimmer. Portuguese actor Diogo Morgado portrays Jesus as the film spans from his humble birth through his teachings, crucifixion and ultimate resurrection. It marks the first motion picture about Jesus’ life since Passion of the Christ, released ten years ago.

Mom Maven’s Thoughts

My husband and I enjoyed the movie. It is very well made. The actors do a great job portraying the Biblical characters and telling the stories of the life of Christ. For those not very familiar with the Bible, this movie gives a good overview of Jesus’ life. Those of us who know the Bible enjoy this movie for it’s passionate re-telling of the stories of the faith. I was, of course, moved to tears by the scenes of Jesus being crucified. He did that for ME! That blood covers MY sins. How easy it is to forget the sacrifice that was made for our personal Salvation.

My favorite part of most Blu-rays is the bonus features and sometimes an entire bonus disc! Maybe it is where the acting geek in my comes out but I love watching deleted scenes, blooper reels, director commentaries and info about how or where the movie was made. I find these bonus features both educational and entertaining.
