The Opus Movie Reviews
During May 2008, the Opus movie was released in the US and Canada. Here are some reviews…
Morgan K. says: I saw the Opus movie in Scottsdale Arizona! What an incredible movie. It was by FAR better than the Secret or any other movie to come out yet. It had the audience so inspired they were crying. It was so moving and inspiring. WHAT WILL YOUR OPUS BE should be the question that the everyone on the planet asks. It was amazing.
Tad Collett says: The Opus rocks!!!!! I loved it. It was far better than the Secret. The Secret tried to be all mysterious but delivered little value. The Opus gave me stuff I could use. This is such a better movie! Hands down. No competition. The story was also awesome. Definitely a stronger movie. See it. You will also be impressed.
Kevin Lubeski says: The Opus was great. I am really excited to see what will happen for this film over the next while. There are many that I spoke with who are involved in the film industry and they are quite excited about it. I have heard more than one person suggest that this film will win several awards because of the dynamic and powerful story, the professional look of the film and more. I am a filmmaker myself and agree. it was very well done.
I just recently saw the Secret and although I liked it, I would have to say that from a technical point of view and as a viewer The Opus is a stronger movie. And here’s a reasons why:
The Opus had a brilliant narrative running through out. It got the audience engaged and the narrative also instructed and was relevant to the lessons taught.
The Opus has a progression of concepts, while the Secret shared the same information again and again only with different episodes inside the film. (Many of which did not relate to me at all – ie. A gay commedian, a girl on a beach looking for love, or a guy in his house looking at post cards of elephants.) The Opus is audience sensitive.
The Opus also provided practical, measurable information for the viewer. The Secret spoke about a mysterious law that really is more feeling than anything.
The Opus had appropriate visuals through out, The Secret I felt robbed the vault of stock photography available on the internet to anyone.
The Musical score of the Opus also told the story. It felt custom built, while the Secret felt like it also came from a pre-recorded library.
The Opus did not discount the faith of it’s viewers. Many different thoughts were expressed yet none were discounted. I have read for a long time this battle the Secret created with christians and others. As I watched the film I could really see how the New Age thoughts of The Secret overshadowed their message.
