Reviews
Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
CookieInvent There's a good chance the film will make you laugh out loud, but if it doesn't, there's an even better chance it will make you openly sob.
pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
yanlimacoutinho You know that god is dead, when there´s movie saying the contrary and being worse than anything from hell, i would prefer being forced to watch the mario bros movie than this.
Uniscorn Scarebear This movie just makes me that much happier to be an atheist, holy ridiculous propaganda Batman. On top of that there's like 284907 plotlines and all of them are inane drivel. Avoid.
laurelst-96402 This movie is bad, really bad actually. Never in my life had I watched a movie that left a bad taste in my mouth afterward. This movie has some of the most immature and stereotypical portrayals of any thing other than Christianity that made it look like they made the characters off their respective extremist subreddits. Atheists are condescending assholes that bash anyone that isn't an atheist. The journalist is stupid and immature giving them a perfect opportunity for them to pull the "GOD HEALS YOUR LIFE THREATENING ILLNESS!" moment that is everywhere in Christian media. Not to mention they throw Islam in and make the father a control freak who slaps his daughter around and disowns her making it easily the most disgusting generalization of Muslims as many are accepting people. By now you should notice the pattern that any character in this film that's not a Christian is an amoral sociopath that will abuse you if you're a Christian. The worst part is that classic phrase of repetition to brainwash you into texting your family and friends as if the movie already didn't numb your mind up to begin with. "God's not dead" This movie is the perfect example of what propaganda is, and as a Christian myself I apologize for how whiny and immature my people have become thanks to this film.
Beam Me Up (Spoiler alert) In this movie, a Christian college student is required to prove the existence of his god in a philosophy class, or risk failing the course, because the professor has declared that his god is dead. The student basically accepts the theories of evolution and the Big Bang, but insists that there must be a god since science doesn't explain everything. He also claims that religion is necessary for morality (no secular counterargument is offered). In the end, his goal is to get the professor to allow students to decide the existence of their god for themselves.While I support the idea of being free to decide whether to believe in a god or not, the rest of the plot line of this movie is loaded with Christian arrogance. A Moslem woman gets kicked out of her home by her father for being a secret Christian without any discussion, a unlikely scenario. The father is simply portrayed a rigid and intolerant. The Christian minister she's been listening to is Franklin Graham. The fact that Graham is a rabid Islamophobe is never mentioned.Meanwhile, an atheist blog reporter learns she has advanced stage cancer. Her boyfriend heartlessly abandons her when she tells him about her condition. She is portrayed as all alone with no friends until she tells some Christian rock singers she came to interview about her diagnosis. They convince her to "accept Jesus." Finally, when pressed by the student, the philosophy professor admits he became an atheist because of the death of his Christian mother from cancer, as if people lose their religion only due to traumatic events. As he is having second thoughts about his atheism and is on his way to the Christian rock concert, where all the new Christians appear to be heading, including a Chinese student who became a Christian against his father's wishes, the professor is struck by a hit-and-run driver. A Christian minister on the scene convinces the professor to become a Christian on his deathbed.The message of the movie seems to be that once people "learn about Jesus" or in times of crisis, they'll become Christian and never again question the existence of the Christian god. (But only it they're Moslems or atheists. If the movie had shown a Jew converting to Christianity, it would've been branded as anti-Semitic and set off a firestorm.)The fact is more and more people are becoming nonbelievers. This is due to the availability of information on the internet that questions Christianity as well as other religions. The huge growth is not due to traumatic events. Some Christians (not all) feel that they're under siege because their beliefs are being questioned, and they're losing the dominance they once had. They don't like the idea that intolerance to non-Christians as well as LGBT individuals is now frowned upon."God's Not Dead" is obviously a movie made by Christians for Christians.
