Alas, there will be varying opinions. Thats what so great about our country. Variety makes up the essence of life. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I knew what it was about before I went. I was introduced to reincarnation may years ago and I am a christian. I spent almost 3 years in South East Asia and was very interested in a religion that was so important to millions of people. If it wasn't for Jesus Christ, I would be a follower of reincarnation. There are even hints that this religion was in Jerusalem during the first century A.D. So you can speak against it, thats your right. But the movie was excellent and I didn't mind the 2 hours and 44 min. The actors and actresses were outstanding.
