hyped garbage

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

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

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

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 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.

I saw this on Netflix and the plot description sounded interesting and it had 3 stars.Problem was that I missed the "faith & spirituality" in the genre! So the decent ratings were inflated (sorry but religious people forgive a lot of sins in religious movies)and the plot description did not match.The film itself borrows from Animal Farm, 1984 and the post-apocalypse genre without being particularly interesting. The acting is leaden, production shoddy but at least the character development was non-existent! And Eric Roberts.....what were you thinking?

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.
