Watch Rumors of Wars For Free

An unexpected masterpiece

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It was never made clear to me, but is this the future before or after the rapture? Churches are clearly gone from this society and the New World Order cops are rounding up suspected Christians and getting them and their influence eliminated. Racism seems to have gone because the commander is black. There's a nice university people are now going in and around what used to be Chicago. And the university is now offering chip implants which among other things will protect the implanted from identity theft. The better to keep track of citizens though. It's clearly the mark of the beast.Rumors Of Wars is another paranoid glimpse by the religious right of its future of persecution under one world government which has as its laudable goal among others, the elimination of religious bigotry which has caused most of the wars the planet has seen. Watching this I was wondering whether a similar cadre of troops were busy rounding up Sunni Moslems in Mecca under the same one world government.Leads here are Ben Davies one of the New World Order storm troopers who's having second thoughts about his mission rounding up dissidents and Jennifer Cooper who is a student who refuses to have the chip implant. Eric Roberts has a nice role where he hams it up as a Donald Trump like billionaire who is clearly going to turn out to be the Anti- Christ. Because clearly this is going to have sequels.If you see conspiracies everywhere and love the religious right this is the movie for you.

Saw this on NetFlix and the description was a little interesting. After the first few minutes it seemed like there was a bit of a heavy hand trying pretty darn hard to tell me how I should feel. I kept thinking, "you don't suppose this is some POS 700 club BS masquerading as a movie do you?". Yet I continued to watch. The RFID chips raised suspicions further, then the soldier who defected to "god" and was shot over it. Just miserable. I don't care if these people feel the need to make hackneyed movies to try to trick their flocks into believing their dogma. Perhaps it is for the teens to make them think they get to see real movies, but Special movies, movies with a message. That is all fine and dandy, just don't try to trick others into watching this schlock. To the makers of this movie, I found myself agreeing with the "bad guys" before I shut it off in disgust. A movie like this really needs to be labeled clearly with a warning sticker that this is intended for the ignorant. If you want to show this to a group, it would make a great double feature with 'Birth of a Nation'. It wasn't even one of those bad movies that is so bad it is good or funny, it was just patently bad with no redeeming qualities. Like someone wandered into a couple of post apocalyptic movies and decided they could write a story and if they tilted it enough, they could possibly dupe a church to pay for it. Ed Wood did it better. Avoid this movie like it was one of the seven plagues of Egypt.

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 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.
