I've just watched the trailer and imo they have changed many things from the real story. Many ppl are really hyped to watch this. What are your thoughts?

Spoliers ;- Set about 1,500 years ago, it presents the ancient civilizations in the Arabian Peninsula and Middle East. It follows the story of Aws and the people of Makkah who are forced to take up arms to liberate themselves and their city from enslavement by a ruthless general .

The Journey is inspired by Arabian folktales and set 1500 years ago in Mecca. It centers around Aws, a potter with a dark past, who, along with fellow Meccans, is forced to take up arms and stop Mecca from being enslaved by a ruthless conqueror Abraha. Abraha, the main antagonist, has sworn to destroy Mecca and the religious sentiment it holds. It is up to Aws and Mecca’s small army to fight Abraha’s superior force. The creators also add a personal touch to the many tales of the Islamic prophets that are portrayed in the film as stories to remember during one’s hardships.

The Journey, which was based on Saudi folklore, is a joint collaboration which began in November 2017 between two animation studios; Manga Productions of Saudi Arabia and Toei Animation of Japan.

I watched the movie. The animation is good. As a Muslim, I know the story and watched cartoons about it when I was young, and I guess the cartoon was much better in terms of writing, characters, and clarifying the goals of each side. Unfortunately, the writing is poor in the movie. For example, the three stories that were only audio, I see as unnecessary and were killing fun. I mean, I was following a battle and then suddenly it was cut off. And the characters did not delve into them too much, especially from the side of evil.. but since it is a beginning for Saudi Arabia, it is a good start, and I wish them success in the future.

I just take it positively. But, I didn't know what will happen next. The Abraham and his army want to destroy the Ka'ba. And I think there's something changed. In quran said, that God sending bird who bring hot stone from hell and then they're drop it into Abraham and his army. In this part, maybe will be changed. And we just need to wait and watch it. If something on this movie there's different from quran, I'm not gonna take it seriously cuz I believe the real happen in quran.

yeah,just watched the movie. It mostly accurate except the part where bird throw the stone. In the movie,it just look like normal stone instead of very hot stone or hell stone. But of course i wouldn't take this movie seriously and still an enjoyable watch indeed.

As a muslim, I would rather not watch this at all cause I already know the true event (the abraha story is not a folktale, these are true events).
I mean I already know what happens and its all written in Quran so I dont want to see it in this form of media. (I dont know whether this form of representation is allowed in Islam or not but just to be on the safe side I would rather not watch it).

If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

Since i dont know how to make reviews since new, im just gonna said this
I think this movie is good, some people didnt like the character maybe because they add character out of no where. From what i remember there is no character(sorry if im wrong) when Ababil dropping stones to elephant troops
And for miracle they show it in the middle, i think its not wrong for them to do that. It will help non muslim to understand what will happen in the end (Ababil i mean) since they not like us muslim who already know about miracle that has happened.
This is my opinion, sorry if you didnt like it

I think as a Muslim, this film is really good.

that fact that Muslims get pissed at even the slightest variation or creative changes are the reason why no almost no entertainment media caters to your folk. Then I find it funny when people complain about no representation in media

I read the article Manga studio is owned by the son of King Salman in Saudi Arabia. What is certain is that his have asked permission and research from the scholars there. So I think it's only natural that they make this,with a note that it does not change the meaning and content of the content of the Qur'an

It's a little disturbing but I take the positive side that Allah SWT. will give His miracle, whether it is when it will come no one knows.

Even I don't know, but I believe that miracles exist, because they are in the Qur'an. I'm just praying to Allah SWT. and Allah will answer what I pray to Him

As a Muslim, I was looking forward to this film from the moment the trailer was shown. I hope this film can make me remember the incident 1500 years ago during the attack on the Kaaba by Abraha

I've watched this movie and i find nothing really changed from the real story. Of course something will be added to make this movie becoming better but It does not impact to our history. All I could say is it's very good. I appreciate how to respect our religion in this anime😁

As far as accuracy goes, it’s slim. Ancient Arabs had straight swords, not curved blades. The Aws clan lived in Yathrib, not Mecca and if he’s adopted, the main character would use their surname, not his. The Quraysh clan ruled Mecca. Iram (third flashback story) was not a city of giants, nor was it older than Mecca.
