What makes the Nativity Story different from other films is that it's about a subdued event that just so happens to be the turning point of world events. If you think about it, nothing more significant has ever happened in history, nor will ever eclipse the advent of the Son of God, born in the flesh. As such, the heavens don't go for a lot of fanfare and Hollywood-type special effects to pound the point home. It plays out quietly in seemingly ordinary events, with internal, personal turning points.
The Nativity Story tells the account in a straightforward way without a lot of embellishment, making a personal narrative against the political backdrop of Herod's treachery. The only thing that stuck out as inaccurate was the arrival of the Magi on the same night as the birth. The real plus is that The Nativity Story brings the events to life and lets you feel like a spectator to the turning point in human history.
