I Can Only Imagine [Blu-ray] [2018]

We went to watch this in the theater to support what we considered to be an inspiring Christian show that we heard was good, that is difficult these days when Hollywood and most media outlets produce movies as if all movie goers are satanist, atheist, or perverts. What I did not expect was it to be so much more entertaining then expected, and based on a true story with a few changes, most likely to keep it within a reasonable movie length, it would be nice to see a directors cut that would be were the lead singer of "Mercy Me" was allowed to fill in some blanks. Nonetheless the movie was very much worth the watch and I so plan to add it to our library at home. I would hope that success of this show would influence other movie makers to focus on positive inspiring shows that are void of trying to push racial division, sexual perversion, gender division, gender confusion, and senseless violence.

Well, I had heard the platinum selling song "I can only Imagine" and felt it was catchy and was nice to listen to. But I will never hear it the same now that I have seen the movie. Plus all the added bonuses cause I got the DVD/BluRay/Digital download from the Cary store. To those who profess faith in something more than what we can touch or see, then this film will move you. I am not a bible thumper, but I do believe that there is more to my existence then just living. The song and the movie is an inspirational film that moves me to do better and more than I am doing. We never know what life is for, but these fellows with Mercy Me have done much to touch the lives of people through their faith, and if we can be better people for what ever the reason then so be it. This film can do that for many. Add it to your library.

What made this film powerful is that it showed how a horrible childhood can be redeemed to become a platform for Ministry through Music. But at the heart of it all is Forgiveness. This film resonated with me because my childhood was very similar, and at the end of his life - my stepfather made all of his family relationships right - by asking for forgiveness. It's hard to give and sometimes hard to authentically receive it - but it changes everything ! Just ask Bart M.

So glad I purchased this movie. I missed seeing when in the theatres, but many spoke highly of it. The film communicates the anguish of the main character's childhood without being explicit, and I found myself emotionally involved with the characters. It's nice to have a movie that has actual character development, character interaction, and acting worth watching. I enjoyed the additional features and recommend watching them.

This is a great film by any standard, not just the Christian genre. I saw the film in the theater and bought it the day it was available in stores Blu-Ray/DVD format. The fact that it is a true story makes it all the better. The acting of all characters is very solid including Dennis Quaid's and J. Michael Finley’s. The cinematography is outstanding and rivals the mega-budget films.

What a great film from the heart. Saw this in the theater & had to buy it. You hear about stories behind the music of so many artists but after seeing Mercyme live, I had to watch this. From the struggles from childhood to the struggles with his father, this movie hits home every minute. Seeing the inspiration of forgiveness makes this a must have.

Our family was very impressed with the acting and the story. Jay Michael Finley's opera training and Broadway experience allowed him to portray Bart Millard the creator of the song "I can only imagine" with honesty and credibility. The extensive amount of extras was an added bonus. Dennis Quaid and Trace Adkins fans will find this move a must see!

I was recommended this movie by my parents. I was not sure if I would enjoy it, but I thought I would give it a try. I am not ashamed to say this film moved me in so many ways. I cried 3 times, not from sadness, but because it was so uplifting and encouraging. I cannot recommend this film enough!
