The Nazarene

This was a complete disappointment, the effects were ok (very cartoony and gimmicky), but there are two BIG Issues I take with this... first and foremost, the pricing is unreasonably high for what it is... for $200 a family, I would expect far better than sweating in the heat watching a marginally accurate immersive children's cartoon.The other big issue is that this is NOT scripturally accurate. I got the distinct impression this is put on by Catholics that view the Bible as "simple stories for simple people" rather than presenting the revered Word of God as written. Many things were missed that were key to Jesus ministry, but that could be overlooked. Never, however did Jesus say that Peter needed to let go of the overloaded net of fish because his greed would destroy him (although that could be a good thought for the people that put this on). Additionally, when Peter walked to Jesus on the water and began to doubt and sink, he yelled out "Lord, save me!" rather than the depiction of him falling silently into the depths of the water for 2-3 mins until Jesus reached out. The depiction of Judas basically arguing with Jesus never happened and there was a lot of liberties taken there. At the last supper, Jesus dipped the bread and said the person he gave it to would betray him (not Judas dipping something as Jesus calls him out). It is highly unlikely they was a golden chalice Jesus used and the metamorphosis into a Catholic priest and a room with walls filled with iconography and stained-glass windows may have some meaning to Catholics, but was completely ridiculous to an evangelical.I was not impressed and would be less frustrated, perhaps, if not looking around at people who clearly didn't have much money that I felt had been fleeced in Jesus name.Scripture is clear that those who add to the Bible are in danger of the eternal flame. I would caution those that would add to scripture and present it as if it were God-breathed scripture.

Very unexpected beautiful experience, I wasn't all too excited to go, so i was very glad I ended up liking it more than I thought I would. General story/explanation of the Bible/God. Super cool visuals, and very relaxing and smooth transitions from room to room. The exhibit was big and nicely put together.
