The Nativity Story chronicles the arduous journey of two people, Mary and Joseph, a miraculous pregnancy, and the history-defining birth of Jesus. The dramatic and compelling film traces the perilous journey of a young couple who must travel from their home in Nazareth to Bethlehem, Joseph's ancestral home, to register for a census ordered by King Herod. It is a journey of over 100 miles, through treacherous terrain, made much more difficult by the fact that Mary is nine months pregnant.
Strengths: Breathes life into the birth of Christ narrative while remaining true to Scripture, complete with good casting, acting, and directing.
Weaknesses: Overlooked the opportunity to include a scene involving the angelic host celebration and simultaneous war in heaven against the Dragon. A transition from those to the quiet manger in the closing moments would have drawn an unforgettable contrast between majesty and meekness as Christ set aside His glory to become human.
