    Yet another absurdity from the Burnett brood.. I can't tell if this film was meant to feel like a lifetime movie or a fictionalized tale from the Bible. Regardless, the storytelling and acting are so removed from anything believable that it only serves to shore up an evangelical base to rally around a mediocre (at best) tv movie. Sad that this is what passes these days as entertainment.

    The otherwise unknowable details of conversations, wonder and doubt about the apparent resurrection, and political maneuvering are filled in a respectable but usually lively way by a cast of accomplished actors.

    There's a lot to like about this production that depicts the birth of Christianity not as yet another dogmatic swords-and-sandals religious epic, but more like a political thriller. It's frustrating, then, that the action stumbles only when it turns its focus toward heaven.

    A.D.: The Bible Continues makes odd, sometimes debilitating choices (“What is it about this Jesus?” is an actual line) that prevents it from being a cheesy but compelling take on a well-told story.
