The Adventures of Chris Fable (2010)
(Long Synopsis) "This action-packed, fantasy-fueled family adventure – inspired by the revered literary Christian classic, The Pilgrim’s Progress – overflows with outrageous characters, special effects … and a moral message. In The Wylds, young Chris (Solomon Ray) is a runaway living with a group of other misfit kids in a junkyard, all under the watchful eye of a Dickens-esque character who forces them to steal to survive. When Chris is caught pilfering at a church, the pastor protects him from the police, then challenges him to find his estranged father. Chris bravely chooses to leave his family of thieves and ventures into the wilderness in search of a better life. Traveling through a post-apocalyptic future – his only hope lies in reaching a heavenly paradise that will surpass his wildest dreams – he outwits bandits, escapes swamp monsters, battles evil robots and learns valuable life lessons about choosing the right path."

Take a shot every time they make an overly religious metaphor, or quote the Bible. Drunk is the only way to watch this movie. *(note: please don't play this drinking game, you will get alcohol poisoning) Its utterly awful. The reviews are the best part about it! Stale acting Horrid scrip Horrendous soundtrack And I cannot begin to describe how plainly awful the special effects are. The only thing scenes I could stand to watch, were those with Iggy because he was the most normal one in it AND HE IS IN LEAGUE WITH THE DEVIL. A waste of £3. As if the tescos horse meat scandal wasn't enough. If you want to watch something with better drama and acting watch episodes of doctor Who from the 70s, at least the special effects are better.
Don't let the description fool you- this film is slow moving, boring, and with little climax. With the back drop of a "home-movie-feel" and poor acting, this film took me back to remembering when I went to theaters and saw "Time Changer" in 2002... I walked out on it after 30 minutes. (However, this film I didn't have to pay to see. Luckily.) This film would be better set up for church youth to watch, as it would be a more appropriate film there- or a "family movie night" on a Sunday- if you get my drift. But don't expect tears or leaving with a warmth in your heart from everyone. (And if the "christian propaganda" is more your speed, I would try the book it's based on before spending cash on this... js.)
Just brought this from the supermarket for two pounds i don't think its even worth that! this is the worst film I've ever seen and the so called breathtaking special effects look like a five year old cardboard cut outs in fact i would say that would be far more breathtaking! it had terrible acting terrible storyline and awful effects and i will be going back to the shop to ask for two hours of my life back i cant believe they sell it know wander you cant find it anywhere else! I'm glad i chucked it on the fire where it belong i had to destroy it before anyone else wastes two hours of there life on it i did the right thing!
Brought in Tesco for £2 thought it looked good.Got home watched & basically wasted about 2 hours of my life.It's thinly disguised religious junk, for those of you who are not religious give this film a miss.Basically the plot has a lot to do with things in the bible, over coming trouble (if you repent the heavenly father will accept you with open arms).Don't waste your money or you time.Would have given it half a star but the ratings don't go that low. The tag lines are not true. It's not an adventure film at all. On the case it says it's like the chronicles of Narnia whoever wrote that did so only to make people buy this drek.
