An action-packed slog

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

I will start with that I am not religious and too much preaching of any kind will turn me off on a movie. This movie has some Christian elements so if you are a fanatical Atheist who demonstrates the worst qualities of any fanatical thiest this is not the movie for you. If you expect a slick production and great acting this is not the movie for you. However if you like to contemplate the world and think about what ifs, this is a good movie. It asks many questions and good questions at that. Makes one think about how easy it is to fall into traps of fanaticism so readily displayed by previous reviewers. One does not need to be or identify with Christianity to identify with the ideas and questions asked. I'd love to see a higher budget less theist remake of this movie. The plot holds so much potential and warning for the world.

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.

Started watching because it sounded interesting. Go watch 'Equilibrium' and replace sense offense with Christian cautionary tale.I was okay with the low budget, but a half hour in there were too many scenes similar to equilibrium for me to not see that this was a ripoff unless it was directed by Kurt Wimmer, and it wasn't.The concept could have been cool but there is to much crossover to not consider this plagiarism, and I am talking about scene settings and lines, not conceptA little more creativity would have gone a long way. Not sure if they will face litigation

Bad acting, bad makeup, bad artwork, bag CG, bad story line, forced underlying message...UTTER CRAP. Same yourself the pain and skip this movie!I get that the author wants to share a Christian message but please do a better job with everything else. Let the story progress without forcing the message to merge with the story line.I watched the entire movie...so you don't have to. The random additions of rhetoric and theology messes up the story and creates an unnatural progression. The bizarre conspiracy theories combined with the rampant paranoia is reminiscent of fear mongering.
