“DownLoad” is an allegorical, science-fiction based film, with “Orbiter” representing God, and a host of good and evil characters that either believe in Orbiter’s son or don’t. The good guys include Circuit and a woman named Binary, who strive to keep the ways of Orbiter and defeat his enemies. Circuit is also called “Missionary,” and some follow him and believe his words and others don’t. C.H.I.P. is an unseen character who gives updates to Circuit.
The theme of the movie is that it is better to die and live than to live and die, with the idea that a person should die to his or her own ways so that life might be found. The film has a “crossing over” to a better life, too. The spiritual applications will be clear to most readers of the Bible. This is a low-budget production, but the actors’ enthusiasm is obvious. We are happy to award “DownLoad” our “Faith-Friendly” Seal for ages 12-plus.
