Rumors of Wars

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, I really hate to be that kind of person to give 'the lone star', but this film is really, really rough. Aside from the wardrobe and make up departments, the rest fell on their faces. The story felt disjointed, the special effects were poor, and the acting...well...

Attention Christian film makers. I know you all feel that the message of the story is the most important thing. Well, you are wrong. Sure you need a solid message, but how you communicate that message is more, or at least equal to, the importance of the message itself. If you all insist on using Ben Davies, at least persuade him to invest in some acting lessons. He is so robotic, so unconvincing it seems like he either just got the script the day of filming or has zero life experiences to draw on. One other thing: Stop casting Eric Roberts, period. Look him up on IMDb, as of right now he has 75+ films in progress. He is seriously taking every script that comes across his desk. He has faded into irrelevance because of his poor judgment. He is not a name that will boost your film sales, so just stop...please.

On the upside, the supporting cast were all pretty good. But their performances were over shadowed by too many issues.

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.

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.

"Rumors of Wars" is an okay Xtian indie with a dystopian theme. Although uneven, the acting and directing are better than in most efforts like this. If (like me) you're sympathetic to it's anti-globalist politics, it's not excessively religious.

Full Disclosure: I'm not an Abrahamic believer. Yes angry atheists, it's possible to be a non-believer without turning into a raging, raving Christaphobe. Try it some time.
