"Son of God" hasn't even opened and it is already selling out in some theaters. The film, which brings the story of Jesus' life to audiences through compelling cinematic storytelling, is told with the scope and scale of an action epic and features powerful performances, exotic locales, dazzling visual effects, and a rich orchestral score.
