Summary
Evangelical propaganda, which highlights the absurdities of extreme faith and belief albeit it not on purpose.
As I was strolling through the internet I heard some talk of this film, and despite being deeply negative, decided to check it out for myself to see if it was indeed as bad as people were saying. Well, it turns out the bad reputation this film has is well deserved, as it is an incredibly weak film that feels like religious propaganda belonging in another century.
I will admit my experience with faith films is relatively small, so I cant say if they are all as bad as this, but if they are I question who turns up for them. The plot was not only incredibly ham-fisted but also ridiculous in the extreme, with the way it portrays the atheist characters being especially out of touch and baffling. It is a strawman argument trying to convince the good Christian viewers of how the modern world is a personified devil that needs to be fought at all costs, with only a return to goof old fashion Christian values capable of saving the day.
The film seems to think of itself as a way to convince the agnostics and the atheists out there and get them on board, however, it fails in this aim so spectacularly that it will have the opposite effect, making the version of Christianity this film preaches seem even more fundamentalist.
The only good thing about this picture is that it crosses a line wherein it becomes laughably bad.
Overall, a mess that highlights some of the key problems at the root of US identity.
Pros.
Its laughably bad
Cons.
It is evangelical propaganda
It is stupid
It is so heavy handed with its message that it destroys it
All the characters are loathsome
