If that movie was supposed to be tailor made for them it truly missed the mark.
The movie was ok, but just because you show “god” and don’t take pot shots at religion in the process doesn’t mean you’ve made a movie for the religous.
What blows my mind about this film, is not the movie itself, its not bad fair... sort of think of it as a poor imitation of “Oh God.” What blows my mind about this movie is that they spent 175 MILLION making this thing... I can’t for the life of me figure out how they spent that much money on this thing. This is not nearly a 200 Million dollar movie.
Yes, there are CGI animals in it, but even that cannot justify the ungodly (yes pun intended) price tag.
They spent way way way too much in production of this movie. It should have been a 50 Millionish if that budget, no way it should have been 175 Million. I don’t know where they spent all that money. And if they had produced it for that budget, it would have made them a handsome profit... nearly 100 Million gross so far.
I don’t think the movie was the problem, it was the budget... And frankly I can’t see where the hell they spent that much money on this film... I’d have had no issues making such a movie if pitched to me for a reasonable budget, however if you pitched this film to me and said, yea, its’ going to cost 175 Million to make, I’d have told you get bent.
