Did You See End of the Spear?

Last week I mentioned End of the Spear a few times in the hopes that some of you would go and see it - did you and if so, what did you think?

I'm happy to report that the movie made almost $5 million dollars on it's opening weekend.  It wasn't the biggest opening in a movie, but considering the content and the fact that it didn't get much advertising, it's not too bad.  I'm hoping they will at least make back the $10 million they invested in making the film.

I saw the movie and enjoyed it.  I was surprised that the gospel message wasn't as evident as I thought it would be.  If you understand the gospel and know the story of these missionaries it was easy to see, but for those unfamilar with both it was kind of vague.

I did cry at the final scene where the forgiveness was offered because it was a powerful scene.  For that one scene I think the movie is worth seeing.
