Storyline
Excellent Documentary! This really is a must see documentary, but is only a piece of a much bigger puzzle. This is not a movie in the sense of a story about people's interactions with each other and life events. It is an astrological revelation of the stars and planets at the time of Jesus birth and death. Frederick "Rick" Larson tells about his obsession with trying to discover what the original Star of Bethlehem was. He doesn't go into hardly any detail as to who helped him move along in getting the information he presents, and some people claim he got some from predecessors. But the documentary is really only an opportunity to expose what he found while using a modern astronomy computer program, and an explanation of it. It is his conjecture that this is what the Magi saw, which convinced them, and his presentation convinces me, yet the astronomy itself is so compelling as to be mind-blowing on the omnipotent power and knowledge of God. Larson goes into some conjectures as to what the star and Planet alignments mean and it is not always simple for the casual observer to discern clearly some of the minutiae of his points. Moreover, he is not an expert in other areas of which he conjectures, but the big points, namely the astronomical observations, are overwhelmingly powerful. This one-hour documentary could have been contained in a much shorter documentary of 15 to 30 minutes, but it doesn't feel overly cocooned. Moreover, my own research on the seven acts of the Messiah and the end times is highly excited by the prospect that God also foretold all these events in the stars.
