For those who haven’t yet watched the movie, it’s time for you to watch this. For those who really love sci- fi- fantasy- romance and romance movie, this is suit to you. You will learn to choose the better in all the choices you have.

All in all I can say that the story was really adventurous, enjoyable, and very interesting. We may encounter many problems throughout our lives and these problems will just arise to test our self. Let just try to put God first in everything that we are trying to do. Let’s just not consider are sake but try to analyze if what we are going to do is right or
