Significance (about 40%)

This refers to the message or moral of the story (e.g. "be excellent to each other," or, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"). I evaluate it on how true it is to biblical morality and truth.

Suppositions (about 20%)

These are the world view assumptions that the story is built upon and that the viewer is expected to accept (e.g. evolution, magic, pantheism). Some are genre-specific and are not weighed very heavily whether they are true or not (e.g. the existence of life on other planets is required by most sci-fi films although they may not be arguing for it). However, if the world view is supposed to accurately reflect this world then it is evaluated on how close it is to reality (e.g. magic in Lord of the Rings vs. magic in Harry Potter).

Story (about 20%)

This refers to the actual narrative - what the story is about, how well it is told, how coherent it is, etc. You can have a really good story with a false world view (e.g. Star Wars), or you might find a bad story with a true world view (e.g. Left Behind). This is not simply about entertainment although it might creep in.

Style (about 20%)

This category includes the elements that are used in how the story is told (e.g. editing, animation, nudity, violence, profanity). While many Christian movie reviews will base their judgment of a film on the mere presence of foul language / violence / nudity / etc. I evaluate a film's elements by their appropriateness to the story. Gratuitous nudity, violence, or cussing will cause a low score (e.g. Nightmare on Elm St.), while a movie that uses these elements to strengthen the story may actually raise the score (e.g. Schindler's List).
