Weak movie. I did not believe a single character of the film, although very good actors take part in the film, but in a talentless scenario, the actor's talent is completely helpless.

If you want to make your Friday more interesting, how about you go see either a different movie or just do whatever you do in common because The Shack isn't worth seeing or even worth sending a little penny.

I'm like serious, The Shack never attempts to shine in any sort of way and the actors were killing themselves during production of this film.… Expand

A masterpiece of cringe-induction. Another one of "christian movies" made for a closed circle of happy believers to empower their ideology, while making it looking ever more ridiculous for anyone else.

all about christology and how to get in forcing you to believe they are the right path... Deplorable how they use fanciful method to deceive people, appealing to family tragedy sounds even more decadent

Truly horrible save for a decent cast. I suppose the sequel will explain why the Christian god is the right one, and how its pivotal event 2000 years ago on this tiny planet reconciles with a 15 billion year old, 2 trillion galaxy universe.

If forgiving is that easily convincible, then welcome to the crime world!

A novel based film. A religious themed film. It has a message, BUT could be a bad message for today's world. Because how the event was dealt with the story only encourages the crime, in reality. Wise people can say philosophically, morally, but not means every words practically applicable. The common people would get affected more. Other than that, I have no grudge on anything. If it has been just a fantasy and an entertaining film, excluding that Christian thing, I would have liked it better.

It was more like another 'What Dreams May Come', but less visual spectacular. On the other hand, there was an uneasiness in the development of what happened in the early stage of the story. They did not go for the detail, from the crime perspective, hence that mysterious event holds the key which we don't know exactly what happened to judge anything out of the film. So that part reminds 'The Lovely Bones'.

The story of a father whose little girl mysteriously disappeared on a camping trip. Now the struggling father to cope with the incident gets an invitation to meet the creators. His journey to the other side of the world, where he goes through a series of unexpected tests, and at the end, how his character changes are told in those remaining parts.

Worthington, Spencer, everybody was good. But the story is what I did not like. Like it was aimed for Christians only. But I believe not every Christian would agree with this story. I felt it was an unnecessary film. If it was fun like 'Bruce Almighty', the whole world would have enjoyed it. Too serious and very not acceptable message led this film to fall. No, it is not worth a watch for people with the open mind, unless this is what you were looking for.
