This is a review of the movie This is our time. I watched this movie tonight with my husband.
This is the story of five young people and how they strive to make a change in the world for God post graduation from College.

This is the story of five young people and how they strive to make a change in the world for God post graduation from College.
From the website:
Ethan, Luke, Alé, Ryder and Catherine are five friends connected by their strong faith. After graduating college, they each set out to make a difference in the world for God. Their ambitions are high, their passions are strong but will they have the courage to fulfill their calling regardless of what comes their way. The sacrifice they are asked to pay may just be too high. Through godly wisdom from an outside source, the group realizes that this is not their time after all, it’s all His!
I have to admit to having mixed feelings about this movie. It was VERY slow to start, no real connection to the actors....it just was, well quite frankly boring, at the beginning. Trying to figure out all the connections and why there were important was a bit of a boondoggle. If I hadn't been watching this movie in order to do the review I probably would have stopped watching it.
BUT THEN a pivotal moment in the movie occurred and the movie changed. It gained purpose and focus. This change made me glad that I didn't walk away from it. All of a sudden I became interested and wanted to know how everything would work out. What would happen to Luke and Ryder and the rest of the crew? I wanted very much to know what the solution to it all would be.
it was very cool to learn that The ministry Embrace the Village is actually a real one. :) You can learn more about that ministry here.

My overall opinion
Despite the slow start, it turned out to be a good movie.
This movie was very focused on Christian themes. What is the call of God on our lives. Watching this, and then discussing it with a group of teens, or young adults could be a lot of fun. :) For it is good to think and ponder some of the points raised in the movie.
Overall the acting was fairly good.
Once the movie gained focus it flowed well and was interesting to watch.
