Rumors of Wars

"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.

The overall message is good. But just like many Christian movies before it the acting isn't great. The audio is also not great at times as well. The sad thing is that many Christian circles will see this movie and think that it's great. when in reality the only good thing about the movie is the message. But guess what, when it comes to movies the message isn't the only thing that makes a good movie. You have to have good actors, a good sounds score, and better effects. All of that will help push the overall message and make people care about what's going on in the movie. Christians should demand better movies then this. If the movie is good then more people will see it. When you make bad movies you can't blame the world for not liking them. The movies should be as good or better then any other non Christian movie that's out there. No one is going to care about the message if the movie is filled with bad actors.

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.

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.

I read the previous negative reviews and almost didn't watch because of them, but the problem is those reviews seem to be proffered by people hostile to religion; hostile to Christianity in general. The movie is as good as most Hollywood movies. I mean, look at movies like Avatar; that movie was clearly anti-capitalism, anti-military, and even anti-Western society. So what if Rumors of Wars has an agenda. There really IS some truth to potential conspiracies. Look up Operation Northwood an admitted CIA project that planned to blame terrorist attacks on Cuba so as to launch an invasion.

The acting in this movie is as good as most cheesy Hollywood junk, like Dumb and Dumber, Joe Dirt and some of the junk people think is great. Give it a chance.
