The Shack

Yet again another amazing film. This one came In good condition and played well. The only issue is the digital copy is selective to what platform you can use, but since this movie is such a good film to watch…it is worth just having the blu ray disc.

Great movie. Watched it more than 1 time. It was so good. The whole family liked it.

Very interesting and held my interest

I wish the whole world would watch this movie!!

It doesnt matter if you are a newly devout Christian or have known God your whole life, this movie is for everyone! The cast was terrific and played their part very well. But the message behind this movie is truly astounding and beautiful. It answered questions that I didnt even know needed answering. It made some ideas that can be hard to understand into something that could be understood. There was some laughter and a lot of crying but I can tell you that it was worth it!

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!

Great movie with excellent acting and a wonderful message.

Its hard to find fault with a film that is so amazingly well-intentioned. THE SHACK is one of the most beautifully photographed films I have ever seen. The rich scenery and vibrant colors will send a burst of energy to your brain. Also, imagine the hope for the world if lovely and talented Octavia Spencer were God! THE SHACK is a story that tries to explain the unexplainable. Why do bad things happen to good people and why does God not intervene to stop the evil in the world? Sam Worthington stars as Mack Phillips. Hes happily married to a gorgeous and loving wife and has three perfect children. He has a childhood secret that haunts him but life as an adult is perfect until an unimaginable tragedy occurs to rock his world. Its here that the story sometimes veers off the believability path. God invites Mack to a secluded house in the mountains. God is in the form of Octavia Spencer and Jesus and the Holy Spirit are there for good measure. The Holy Trinity cook meals, do dishes and all sorts of domestic chores as they try to revive Macks faith in God and mankind. Its a lovely attempt to give one man hope through his despair but its hard to imagine why God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit reveal themselves to Mack. Yes, God is busy even when she (Octavia) seems to be relaxing. There must be billions of people to help at any given time. THE SHACK does go over the top at times and is a bit long. There is a blend of Scripture and stories from the Bible. Jesus does walk on water which adds some gentle humor. THE SHACK is a sweet movie that will inspire some and confuse others. Its amazingly beautiful to look at. Its a pleasant diversion from the average film but it may leave people with questions than answers.

Fair price. I wanted to see this movie and was glad to find it. Shipped quickly
