Plot Summary
Ronald Mitchell lays dying in his own bed as his organs are shutting down, so home healthcare nurse Julie is called upon to make him comfortable as he passes into the next life. However, she doesn’t just want to make her patients comfortable—she wants to leave a lasting difference on their lives. Ron is all alone, so Julie sets out to find his long-lost children, whom he gave up for adoption. Little does she know that the search will lead her to surprising results.
Production Quality (1 point)
As usual for Faith House’s newer productions, there are a few good production elements, but not enough. Video quality is fine, as is audio quality, yet there is some randomly shaky camera work, and the soundtrack is Faith House’s usual silliness. Sets, locations, and props are okay, but they are very limited and cheap. Lighting is also sometimes an issue. Furthermore, the editing is poor, including lagging scenes and awkward fade-outs. Basically, at the rate that Faith House puts out these dumb movies, there’s no way they can be quality.
Plot and Storyline Quality (0 points)
It never fails that the Faith House team can come with a childish, silly story that’s based on a flimsy premise and unrealistic occurrences. Do they even research the situations they want to portray in film before making them? Their stories are based too much on coincidences and leaps in logic, not to mention the fact that the characters therein are ridiculous. Faith House also writes the strangest dialogue, and all of these goofy elements are present in A Time for Heaven. There is no sense of reality in the pursuit of forcing a childish conclusion with a cheap Christian message. Basically, much like Before All Others and their other wonders, A Time for Heaven is another pointless film that never needed to be made.
Acting Quality (0 points)
Constantly casting Mitch Etter and Julie Van Lith in your films is not a good idea if you want to have a good cast. Not only is this cast very small, but it’s not really any good. Every cast member just does their own thing with no much direction. There are quite a few obvious line errors and emotions are laughable. In the end, this is once again a newer film that had no reason to be released.
Conclusion
Though we know that outfits like The Asylum are purposely creating parody films, it’s very difficult to know if companies like Faith House, Stronger Foundation, Tender Shoot, etc., are actually serious. Films like this one are funny for all the wrong reasons and only further serve to continually muddy the waters of the Christian film market. Whoever is funding these nonsense films needs to seriously stop and demand some quality.
