Fireproof

[Fantasy Dreamer]

I loved this movie. Like Danderson, there is so much that is wonderful about it! The acting and film making aspect has definitely improved since Facing the Giants. I can't wait for their next film if I have this (and possibly better) to look forward to!

My verdict on Fireproof.

The good:
- nice cinematography
- some of the acting
- some funny and touching moments
- the firemen scenes were well-done
- dealt with tough issues
- had a worthwhile message
- watchable
- at times heart-warming
- enjoyable bonus features (the 60 second version is mostly better than the movie)

The bad:
- most of the acting (especially the lead actress)
- symbolism was way too heavy at times
- needless faith exposition (eg. sermonising)
- some moments were unrealistic/Hallmark-ish
- the movie was lit like a soap-opera
- much of the dialogue
- mediocre script-writing
- didn't deal with the issue of pornography with realistic depth (not sure why it was even presented in a PG rated movie - this movie is not aimed at children).

Overall, it was okay, at least much better than Facing the Giants. I hope they continue to improve their craft in all areas, because this had potential and their future efforts could be promising. I'm going to give it a 6/10.

I thought Fireproof was very well done. Yes it had the problems of an independent movie, but as you watch you see that the filmmakers are getting so much better. If this follows their next film will be much better. I was reading about it on onenewsnow it really sounds good.
Another thing as a Christian I want to support them because they are co-laborers in the Gospel. Second, their success has brought on a slew of family based movies
