Review of The Lost Medallion: The Adventures of Billy Stone (2013) by Rolando L — 19 Apr 2013

The film is definitely for a younger crowd. I can imagine my pre teen nephew rolling his eyes at parts. However, for a movie that has all the workings of a production shunned by Hollywood and subsequently those with the dough it does a remarkable job attempting to reach the quality of a studio film. The production value, visual effects, and cinematography were top notch. In the end, the strong lingering message outweighs some of the faults in sub par acting, under developed characters, and continuity errors. In a way, an unintentional movie loophole occurs after a quote at the end of the film rendering all the flaws in the story excusable.

Although this is not one of those films that adults enjoy as much as kids, it is a film with a lasting message of humility, compassion, and self confidence especially in the eyes of God.

Finally, if you are not religious, but are open enough not to cringe when you hear the word God, this movie is not as blatant in it's use of religion as a the basis to do good compared to other faith based films so if you are looking for a clean and ethically conscious film look no further.
