War Room

I don't normally write reviews but figured I'd go ahead for this one, being that this is a limited release low budget film.

The movie is about the power of prayer - It showed these themes very well.

I felt that this movie was very uplifting and encouraging, but it felt heavy emotionally and some of it was hard for me to watch. I had a headache afterwards. Not really sure why. I cried a few times. But in the end it was still a well done film.

I don't want to say too much to give away any plot points.

The acting was okay. But I've seen way way worse acting. The daughter was definitely the best actor in the movie.

The production values were pretty solid, this didn't feel like a TV movie. There were a few things that bothered me about the movie such as realism/continuity but I let it slide, because I was interested in the subject.

The only other thing about the movie that bothered me was the running time. 2 hours is long for any movie and there were times when I felt like it dragged on.

They had a low budget but not so low that they couldn't make a good looking movie. $3M was their budget according to box office mojo and it's already made $11M - not bad at all for only being out 3 days - and they've already made more than double their money back.

If you are a brother or sister in Christ then go see this movie to be encouraged to seek God more and pray more! It definitely encouraged my faith - and I pray that it will encourage you too.

War Room is a movie about prayer in people's lives. The Trailers don't really do this movie justice, I didn't feel excited by them. The movie is well produced and the cinematography is well done. Christian and/or faith based films have had the stigma of being poorly made (TV drama story, unfocused camera, bad acting, pushy message, etc) but War Room actually does all these things right. The brothers who directed this movie and others have vastly improved over the previous films. The actors portray people that the audience can relate with and situations that people face in everyday life. The sharp cinematography was more akin to Downton Abbey than some Hallmark Channel or Lifetime Movie. This film was only slightly cheesy a times, but given it's PG rating this may have been to add humor or some element the whole family could react to in some sections. War Room is definitely worth the price of admission and entertaining throughout.

The Kendrick brothers' movies get better each time and it has been fun to watch them progress. I'll admit I've gone and seen these movies because I could see the potential in their film making and I wanted to support the genre. I was not expecting too much progression, but I was very pleasantly surprised. This is their best film so far.

The production value, writing, and acting are better as a whole. The comedic lines were delivered well and got loud chuckles from the audience. There were a couples scenes that were a bit "off." One scene really didn't work (husband's dream sequence) and could have been cut, and the other (mugging) needed to be reworked as it turned out looking cheesy, but these two scenes accounted for about 2 minutes of the entire film. The audience clapped and added their "amens" throughout the movie.

This is a movie by Christians who pull no punches in sharing their faith and beliefs. Christians will love the movie, and hopefully non-Christians will consider the message. I applaud the Kendrick brothers' evolution and am looking forward to their next movies.

It seems odd to me that this movie would have received such a low rating so far. Unlike many Christian themed movies on television, which are lacking in many ways, this movie is well worth watching. The production, story and acting are all as good, if not better than, any other movie you'd expect to see in the theaters. Without giving away any real details, the movie follows a family that seems to be falling apart and realizes they need a higher power than they can find in themselves to stay together. I don't know if I could say that there are any real mind shattering revelations in this movie, but it is truly thought provoking none the less. Obviously, people who refuse to believe in God and feel no need for faith aren't going to like this move, they don't want to be preached to. But I would highly recommend this movie to any one who does believe in God, and even to those who are open to believing.

War Room is a pretty good Christian movie, which is extremely hard to find! My god just watch gods not dead and you shall see. But anyways, War Room actually has good actors in it and the actors give, for the most part, good performances. The old lady in the movie delivers some absolutely hilarious lines of smart dialogue which I enjoyed. That was my favorite part of the film. The script was alright, pretty good, nothing to really brag about though. You can enjoy this movie even if you are not a religious person, you really can. Obviously religious people will probably get more out of it, but you can like it and be a non-religious person. 1 or 2 smaller actors here gave some corny performances, but the Main actors did well. 7/10 for war room, pretty good Christian film, probably the only one I know of.
