The Trump Prophecy

If I could give it less that one I would. One of the worst movies I've seen in the past ten years and I've seen a lot of awful movies.

Didn't make it to the end.

This blatant propaganda piece was so bad, it changed me from a lurker to an actual reviewer on this website for the first time in over a decade. Acting was atrocious, the dialogue was delivered with the same gusto of a middle school play, and that's not even touching on the subject matter.

Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs. Hard stop. As long as you are not bothering me or someone I love, or interfering with the freedom of others, I could care less what you believe.

It's really hard to apply that philosophy when you are dealing with a dangerous cult that is wanting to transform society to reflect their own narrow interpretation of a 3000-year-old text.

"Movies" like these are designed to appeal to the ignorant and uneducated, stir up their hostilities through their confirmation biases, and have them walk away from the experience more deeply entrenched in their bubbles, ready to take on "the libs". That term, of course, has slowly transformed over the course of the years to mean every single person that does not 100% agree with them.

This movie was physically painful to watch, and even more agonizing knowing that other people were buying into it hook, line, and sinker. These are sad times, friends.

"For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear."

This is the sixth movie (out of 930) that I've awarded a single star. It is truly awful.

I should point out that I'm not really a Trump fan and a lapsed Christian. I've always found the Christian support of Trump somewhat puzzling since he seems to me to be one of the least Christian people you could ever wish to meet.

Anyway the film tells the story of a firefighter Mark Taylor who suffering from PTSD has a prophecy that Trump will become president. This is played out through the first part of the movie and there is undoubtedly an interesting story in it. Anyway unfortunately that was ignored in favour of pushing christian and right wing rhetoric. The second half of the film was an uncomfortable watch and I have no doubt many people would struggle to make it to the end of the film. Anyway I did make it to the end of the film, so I'm comfortable with awarding it with 1 star.

This review has nothing to do about my political views. In fact, I voted for Trump. With that said, this was THE worst movie I have ever seen. Poorly produced and up until the half way point, the script could have been written on a Post-It note. Lot's of dead space and very little substantive dialog.

The acting was terrible and "special effects" were embarrassing. The story behind the movie was certainly interesting but the acting and dialog was just way too cheesy.

The scenes seemed to be disconnected one from another and even the very ending after the movie made no sense and had NOTHING to do with the movie! (the part where you had family/friends holding up war hero's - how is this related in any way to what the movie was about????

Lastly (and this was a biggie for me), IF this movie was conveying a Christian world-view, why didn't the writers make mention of the ONE MAIN and CENTRAL FOCUS of the Christian message.........and that is the Grace and Salvation of Jesus Christ?

Interesting concept for a movie - poorly executed and acted.
