    There are some hokey parts, but the subject matter dealing with forgiveness is very real. Forgiveness is for you, not the offending person. If you struggle understanding this, this may help you.

    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!

    I read The Shack a few years ago but just wasnt ready to work through it/accept the whole version of God & pain & forgiveness. Watched the movie on Pure Flix a few months ago & it really pierced my heart. Im reading the book again & will undoubtedly watch this DVD again. Religious concepts that were pounded into my head as a child made everything related to God about His wrath, about Him being this unreachable force who was ready & willing to smite me whenever I mess up. While I was introduced to a real & loving God in my early adulthood, I never really felt like, well, like He actually cared/cares. This movie has opened up a new outlook for me - given me I believe a more accurate view of Jesus & God & the Spirit - & genuine Divine love. Very glad to have been reintroduced to Papa. Looking forward to getting to know Him better.

    My wife and I enjoyed this interesting portrayal of the holy trinity with a nice twist at the end.

    Such a good portrayal of how our relationship should be with the God the father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

    We need more positives in our lives and less negativity, this is a perfect example of that.
