Heaven is for Real Movie Review

By: Denver Hartson

Recently I watched the movie "Heaven is for Real". This movie is about a little boy named Colton who gets very sick and comes close to dying. During his stages of near death he claims that he went to Heaven and spoke with God. All of the people that he tells think he's just having dreams or making the whole thing up. But his father Patrick actually believes that he did speak with God. Patrick preaches to his church about his son's experience but the congregation despises him for it because they think it's a cruel joke.

The congregation then meets with Patrick and asks him to stop preaching about it. His wife also thinks that he's crazy so Patrick talks more to his son about his experience and gets more information. Colton's mom Sonja finally believes that he really did speak with God when he says that he saw the baby that they were going to have for their first child but it died before birth.  The boy explained to her that she looked just like his sister only with different colored hair. After the mom believes him they talk to the people at their church and they come to and agreement that it's possible that it happened.

While searching for more information on the subject, the father finds that there is another child who had a similar experience. This girl was able to paint a picture of Jesus that is different than all the others that people are used to because she also saw God. This movie is a great movie in my opinion and you should watch it, but be aware that it could offend some people because it's a religious film.
