Rumors of Wars

I saw this on Netflix and the plot description sounded interesting and it had 3 stars.

Problem was that I missed the "faith & spirituality" in the genre! So the decent ratings were inflated (sorry but religious people forgive a lot of sins in religious movies)and the plot description did not match.

The film itself borrows from Animal Farm, 1984 and the post-apocalypse genre without being particularly interesting. The acting is leaden, production shoddy but at least the character development was non-existent!

And Eric Roberts.....what were you thinking?

This is a movie that seems to be judged, and therefore rated to either extreme by either non-Christians or Christians. Any reviewer should understand this: It is a Christian themed movie. With that in mind, I thought they did a good job with the budget they had and saw no major issues worth condemnation. The prophetic theme was both necessary and appropriate. I felt most of the acting was good. There were a few exceptions of certain actors that were not particularly great; nevertheless, the main characters were proficient enough as not to detract from the story.

The back story running concurrently with the plot was well done. If you are a believer in the Bible and literal biblical prophecy you will probably enjoy it--I did.

I had no idea I was in for this kind of biblical punishment when I started watching this film, but it was immediately evident that the Message was going to overwhelm the plot.

If you are a biblical literalist into End of Days prophesy, then I guess the message makes sense. I just got bogged down in the ham-handed New World Order RFID nonsense and the anti-government paranoia.

The acting is atrocious, the dialog is cumbersome. This feels like a really weak college film school project rather than a commercial effort.

I'm not opposed to a Christian message, I thought God's Not Dead was a well done film with a heavy Christian message, but Rumors of War is lame.

This movie was a big disappointment. I could see the plot having some potential but the director/writer lost what could have been a much better movie. Very surprised this made it to national release. Is it possible to buy theater time??? It is obviously low budget, not that this is a reason not to like it. Most of the money went into the uniforms, they should have spent more on special effects or plot refinement. I had some trouble keeping up with the flash backs. This is a religious movie and the plot intertwines with religion and how the masses can be controlled by the the media and a corporate power hungry few. I almost walked out. I can say I have only thought about walking out of a few.

Listen the movie isn't a blockbuster, or has good acting or good effects or any of that but the story is something everyone needs to hear and be aware if because this is our future in some respect. I just wish someone with alot of money could make this end time story current with great acting and effects that everyone will be intrigued to see and ground it in our actual reality at how this one world government is trying hard to be formed as well as how they will control us all with the mark which will most certainly be some iteration of an rfid chip. If you know Bible prophecy you can watch the news and almost piece it together how its coming to pass. If I were a millionaire I'd certainly make this movie and I'd probably be hunted and killed because of how many people and organizations it outs in opening peoples eyes to what they are doing. Low budget movies don't do the message justice and just makes people think its some fictional dravonian story. Its going to be real and alot more complex and involved than these movies can portray with such a small budget.
