If you are an academic (like I am) who likes diving into biblical history, this movie might seem a bit rushed for you. However, as a kids' movie, this seems great! I love the songs (I had them on a YouTube playlist even before seeing the movie), and the story illustrates some of the major points of David's life without making it too scary or adult themed. I took my parents and adult brother to see this, and to my surprise, neither of my parents fell asleep (which they often do when we see movies in the theatre). They were interested the whole time! My brother liked the movie as well and believes this will be like the new generation's Prince of Egypt (I agree). Phil Wickham did a great job as David, especially considering that he does not have a lot of experience acting in movies. And I was so surprised that there were two different people voicing young and adult David! The casting director did a fantastic job matching Phil Wickham and Brandon Engman. There were even inflections in their voices that matched. I am a big fan of Phil Wickham, but I have to say Brandon Engman's voice amazed me. It is not often that I hear a voice that makes me stop to want to listen, even when there is no accompaniment; he has a wonderful gift for music and voiceover. Both of these individuals do. I hope I get to hear more from them in future Angel Studios productions.
