Dieu n'est pas mort 4: Nous le peuple

TL:DR: If you want a movie that is easy to forget, you will like it. If you want a movie that respectfully and philosophically discusses Christianity, religion in general and provides any intelligent and thoughtful perspectives, move on. Go and watch "Life of Pi", this is a movie that feels very respectful, interesting, critical and eye opening towards believe.

I really do not hate this movie. It is as mediocre as you can imagine it. It is not bad if any aspect is analyzed on its own.

The problem is the story and the plot. There is so much unnecessary filler, that it is hard to pay attention to those aspects. I also think that some scenes where only used to provoke an emotion that has nothing to do with the movie? Very weird.

There was also very little logic to anything that was going on. Some argumentations they used for anything were straight up from... Jupiter? Very little contact to reality.

I do believe that nothing was used respectful, was research or came from a philosophical perspective. No depth, just surface level... presentation? Discussion? I do not even know what this movie was trying to go for.

I would be VERY surprised if any Christian, Atheist, Liberal of whatever people use to put them in to some kind of groups, do actually have any feelings 1 hour after watching this movie. It is that forgettable.

"The future of religious freedom in our country" is the endless war-cry from Xtians who have decided that the USA is aTHEIR country, and that (a) there should be no separation of Church and State, (b) God actually exists, (c) it's our (i.e. Xtian) god, not some other deity, (d) making films with mostly erroneously-represented court cases in the end credits give credence to the persecution complex. Seriously: take the time to check the "evidence" to look up and READ through the actual court cases in the credits, and you will see that the persecution isn't there. Oh, but the film producers want you to believe that this is evidence of oppression. And that's the history of all religions: scant evidence if any, indignation leading to feelings of oppression, a declaration to take back something which was God-promised, and creating a them-vs-us scenario. What shameful trickery and deceit these film makers and actors are producing.

Firstly, believe or don't, I don't care. You do you.

The main character just comes off as menacingly weird and phoney, the other actors are worse - if that is even possible.

The story is trite, disorganized, and overdone. It treats it's audience like idiots, spoon feeding every limping plot point.

Somehow manages to be painfully boring and super creepy at the same time.

Thegarbagecan-65646, the God haters are not out in full force. People are seeing this movie series for the trash it is. Many Christians are finally realizing how badly written and poorly acted the majority of Pureflix content is. This one is no different from the rest. The acting is very bad, as is the editing. There are too many unnecessary up-close shots. Very little research was done on homeschooling. Social workers do not get involved with homeschooling families unless there is suspicion of abuse. Most states have few regulations with homeschooling with several having none at all. The lack of oversight has led to abuse going unchecked. The Duggars and Turpins are perfect examples of this. This movie wants people to think that any kind of oversight is tyranny. What about the non-Christian and nonreligious families homeschooling their kids? Why are they getting a free pass if they are violating homeschooling regulations? It is obvious this movie is a persecution fantasy. It paints Christians as perfect angels and non-Christians as devils like the first two do. There are a number of unrealistic scenes. The scene where Pastor Dave starts yelling in the court would get anyone held in contempt and risk imprisonment. It's like he got a free pass because he was Christian. The God's Not Dead film series is not massively successful, except in your mind. It has barely made ninety million dollars at the box office. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie made slightly more at the box office than the first one did. It has much better acting, writing, and characterization. It is full of fun and adventure. Those two things are what audiences want, not boring sermons of which these movies are.

The story is wandering and never really pays off. Acting is pretty atrocious, directing and editing are off and allow the film to bog down and drag out the already thin as paper story even longer. It's one big mess.
