Awesome Movie
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
I am a Christian, very familiar with the scriptures and apologetics, but I still enjoyed the movie for its highlights.First, this is not propaganda, since the target audience were people who were already Christians. This movie does not try to convert people, since the scriptures in it are more intended to aid disciples of Christ than to make new ones. If someone wanted to make a movie that tries to evangelize to non-Christian, then it would focus on the teachings of Christ, the exegesis of the bible, the fulfilled prophecies, the lives of the apostles, the history of the church, etc.Second, the dialogue is obviously over the top in many places, as is expected in these type of small studio films, such as Fireproof. However, that doesn't mean they are not enjoyable, but one should expect quality of a movie made for television. The only major part that was poorly argued was the issue of morality. Atheists can have ethics (sometimes called morals) founded on first principles, but they cannot have morals on top of those that have an objective foundation, so any further morals would be subjective. Example: prostitution is ethical, because it is voluntary and consensual, but it is considered immoral by many people based on either their personal views on sexuality which are subjective, or some authoritarian doctrine they believe, such as the bible. For this reason, morality cannot be established as something that transcends humanity, because the subjective morals are not consistent among individuals.Third, Christianity is all about evangelism and testimony. It is faith in the testimony of others, personal experience, and intuition that leads one to God and Christ. Most atheists base their atheism on skepticism, or at least claim that, though I have personally found many to actually have personal problems with God at a deeper root, such as death, the creation of hell, and pain, so the movie is not wrong in presenting an atheist who has a deeper root of resentment for not being open-minded.In conclusion, this is a decent watch for most Christians.
This movie just makes me that much happier to be an atheist, holy ridiculous propaganda Batman. On top of that there's like 284907 plotlines and all of them are inane drivel. Avoid.
This was a great movie, and I don't see why people hate it. It's about a proud Christian kid standing up for his religious beliefs, even in a hardcore secular environment. I didn't like the ending so much: it felt too rushed, sudden, and choppy. But overall it was a great movie.
I would like to start by saying that I couldn't give less of a shit about religion. It's just not a part of my life. I don't call myself an atheist, I just don't like religion. With that out of the way, this movie is so horrifically offensive to anyone who isn't a straight, white Christian. Christian movies seem to follow the pattern of having a non-believer, or someone from a different religion. The whole point of the movie is the conversion of that person to Christianity. That's bad enough as it is, but what this movie does is so much worse. The movie paints anyone who isn't Christian as a horrible person with massive flaws in their character. And to make it even more insulting, one of the underlying messages of the movie is to let people believe what they want. So the message of the movie ends up being "It's ok to believe what you want, and shove those beliefs down people's throats, but only if you're a Christian. And if you're not a Christian you're a horrible person." I gave this movie a chance, and I went in thinking "Well I may not like the message, but it may be a well put together movie." I was so, so wrong. It has a blatant message that is insulting to the 2/3rds of people on earth who aren't Christian, and it's not even a well made movie. There's not subtlety. It relies on basic cliches and stereotypes. The quality and acting are something similar to a feature length porno.This is just a bad movie. It's technically bad, and insults the audience. This kind of propaganda is why people are becoming more and more fed up with American Christianity. I have no problems with Christians, but this kind of shit is destroying the image of all religion. Please, don't support this movie. If they keep making money, they'll just keep making more shit-shows of insulting Christian superiority.
