A Matter of Faith (2014) User Reviews

Does its job to please fundamental Christians...

[sonnygoten · 4/10 · 11 November 2015]

... but won't change any opinions of any atheist who has studied even a slight bit of evolution.

I decided to see a Christian movie, even though I'm atheist, to test my convictions. Would this be the movie to change my life? To convert me? Well, no. Frankly, I was completely disgusted by the intellectual dishonesty and emotional manipulation displayed throughout the movie.

Let's start with dishonesty; humans come from monkeys? No self- respecting 3rd grade biology teacher would teach that, never mind those at college level. Then that whole debate; the biology teacher sucked and staved off into abiogenesis and Big Bang and even Freud (everyone who has read even a bit on psychology knows Freud, while an interesting guy, was wrong on lots of topics) - all of which are not part of the debate topic which was about EVOLUTION vs. creationism; I could come up with better arguments than the biology teacher and I dropped biology from my high school course. Really, where was the debate leader to steer the father, the teacher and the ex-teacher back on topic? Because he sucked too! Then we have the emotional manipulation. The movie consistently portrays Christians as the good versus atheists as the evil. The girl was hardworking and studious, while her roommate and most of the students in this non-Christian environment were portrayed as party-goer slackers. The Christian boyfriend was protective of her, notifying her of the other explicitly non-religious dude who just wanted to get into her pants. Then there is the perfect family of concerned father and supportive diligent wifely mother. Contrast with the egotistical self-absorbed attitude of the aforementioned biology teacher. Even the ex-teacher is portrayed as a sympathetic guy who only became embittered because the evil atheist biology teacher got him fired. Apparently, in this movie you cannot be a decent person unless you're Christian.

Now, if you're a fundamental hardcore Christian, I'm sure you will lick up every drop of this feel-good movie. Because it DOES have all those warm fuzzy feelings of a family reunited in the end, an ex- teacher who gets over his bitterness, and a tentative romance. But everyone else can see the falseness behind that sugar-coat, not to mention the -at times- cringe worthy lines the actors spoke (I mean, at times I thought 'No real person speaks like that!').

So, all in all, it does its job pandering to its fundamentalist audience, but I think that, instead of a flick aimed at attacking the evil atheists, Christian propaganda might have been better served with a movie that is more polished, more honest, and intelllectually more engaging than this, if it seriously wants to win new souls.

Was this supposed to be pro-creationist?

[alohastateofmind · 3/10 · 23 March 2016]

I watched this movie out of pure morbid curiosity, as I watched it I began to question whether this was a Christian film or not... I mean it has to be because the disgusting lack of understanding of evolution, but then again, it portrays Christians as diabolical, manipulative, and ignorant as all get out... It starts out with a girl going to a biology class (why would a evolution denier study biology?), the professor seems warm and charming and respectable. Of course the portrayal of his understanding of evolution is off, but then again it was written by people who deny evolution. The plot then twists and turns for a good long while, with the girl being a typical college student more or less with weird shenanigans and chasing boys. It is peppered with really creepy scenes of the girls parents, and predatory boys just looking to, pardon the expression, "get their dick wet". It starts to get to some substance when the father of the girl looks up the nice professors name and finds him to be an evolutionist, oh the horror. The father decides he should talk to this Kaman guy and give him the once over for teaching his daughter, a BIOLOGY major, evolution. When he approaches the professor he chastises him for leading his daughter astray and questions the professors beliefs. The professor is very nice about it saying that if the bible helps the father then that is all that matters, the professor says that evolution helps in and that is all that matters. The father won't accept this and continues to berate the professor. When the professor comes up with what I think is a fair proposal to have a debate on the subject the Christian father freaks out and backs down. Big surprise. Then it gets weirder, and even more aggressive, with a student journalist creeping on the poor girl who just needs some space to find herself. He becomes aggressive in his pushing Christianity on her, and his bad mouthing of the nice professor. They try to paint the professor in a weird light trying to make him look evil, but actually portrays him as a reasonable and good person.

In the end if you want the run around of this whole movie it could be summed up in one interaction between a random student and the Christian journalist. The random student and the girl are discussing how people came from "apes", which again betrays the authors poor understanding of evolution. The creepy Christian journalist boy, again creepin on the girl stalking her, pushes his way into the conversation and then gives his incredible reasoning as to why we did not come from apes and I quote. Christian Journalist: "Does your mom look like an ape?" Random Student: "What?" CJ, aggressively I might add, "I'll take that as a no, does your grandma look like an ape?" This continues in a really mean way. I mean seriously, are you trying to make christians look like a bunch of ignorant bullies? If this is how you want your religion to be portrayed, that's fine, I guess... but man,I wouldn't want this movie associated with my religion and defending my beliefs.

In the end this movie feels more like a pro-evolution/anti-Christianity (especially with the speech made by the professor at the end) which is why i couldn't give it only 1 star. I mean really, it does a pretty good job of painting a disgusting picture of Christianity, their ignorance and their intolerance.

Depends on what you're looking for

[karen-loethen · 3/10 · 18 March 2016]

+++ WARNING: THERE BE SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! +++

In this limited-release movie (read "movie shown where invited") the daughter Rachel goes off to college and takes a biology class with a professor who has the temerity to teach biology instead of religion in his Biology class. Rachel is confused by knowledge; she has never heard of this story of evolution before.

Rachel's father Stephen is very upset that Rachel seems to be moving away from religion. He goes to see Rachel's biology professor, concerned with the brainwashing going on in the biology class and Stephen ends up agreeing to debate the Professor on campus in an evolution/creation debate.

In the meantime Rachel is experiencing her own conflicts on campus with nonbelievers. Nonbelievers are universally portrayed as insincere, egotists, treacherous, and negatively worldly. Rachel is surrounded by people she cannot trust, people who are not at they appear to be, and boys who have a hidden agendas, unspoken sexual plans for Rachel.

Throughout Rachel's college struggles, the question postulated in her Biology class "which came first, the chicken or the egg?" continues to plague her. It's a truly vexing question for Rachel. Fortunately, rescuing apologist friend Evan offers Rachel a convincing solution to this conundrum. The chicken came first. Because, according to Evan, Life does not come from non-life...like that egg. An egg is non- life, apparently. (But later on I know that that unborn chicken will be classified as LIFE by the pro- Lifers.) Rachel is very comforted by this call to faith because the "call to critical thinking" was bewildering.

The film climaxes with what some people might consider a very stirring Christian sermon at the campus debate. Not a single bit of moderation of the debate, not a single bit of actual debating, not a single bit of true science offered by the biology teacher. And not a single mention of the fact that debating evolution and creation is an odd debate because evolution is a theory of change, not abiogenesis or the age of the earth or the big bang. But it is, rather, an emotional, triumphant music-laden call to faith and a comforting retreat from academia.

If you are looking for an emotional and sweet film to support your faith you will love this film.

If you are turned off by saccharine, false logic, and apologist baloney, this film will bore and annoy you.

Absolute non-sense

[ifpk2010 · 1/10 · 31 January 2015]

Nothing but wishful thinking, pseudo-scientific claims. The person who wrote this clearly does not understand the theory of evolution, and then proceeds to straw man currently accepted scientific models.

Anyone whose taken a 6th grade biology course can quickly see through the propaganda and lies this film portrays.

The only reason you should watch this is for amusement of how illiterate society can be, other than that don't waste your time on this.

To summarize, the people who wrote this are the same ones who believe the Earth to be 6,000 years, so watch at your own risk.

Baptist creationist propaganda

[cawigderowitz · 1/10 · 19 May 2020]

This is most absolute rubbish propaganda film through Regret having paid £4 pounds to watch it, mislead by the resume. It's not a debate it's propaganda AVOID IT

this is a story of a brain washed girl going to college and starting to think for herself but then daddy steps in and tries to stop her from thinking

[jcbjb-76375 · 1/10 · 11 November 2015]

This movie not only had horrible acting but ultimately was created as propaganda for the creationists it badly represents science and does not accurately portray the issue. Believing in young earth creationism is basically a denial of all of science evolution has the DNA evidence and the fossil record and more evidence. Basic geology and radiometric dating show the earth is indeed 4.5 billions of years old. The science side in this movie was portrayed as if science doesn't have any evidence so ultimately making this film creationist propaganda. I watched this expecting the same old regurgitation of the same refuted creationism arguments but they didn't even do that they just made science look like it is a bunch of guess work.what is sad is there are people out there that deny the massive amounts of scientific evidence supporting evolution, the age of the earth, the big bang etc... Overall a sad pathetic movie that ultimately was created to get people to believe in pseudoscience.

Creationism is indeed a matter of religion

[PeaceAndLongLife · 2/10 · 1 March 2019]

Some creationists insists that their position is a matter of science and not religion. This movie shows that's clearly not the case.

(Spoiler alert) "A Matter of Faith" is a Hallmark Channel-esque movie dipped in religion. A young girl Rachel Whitaker goes off to college. She enjoys her classes and makes new friends. For what appears to be the first time, however, she gets exposed to science viewpoints that conflict with the beliefs she's been taught that the Biblical God created the universe and all life. Her biology Professor Kaman teaches that, based on evidence - imagine that, life evolved over the course of billions of years from simple forms to complex forms. Rachel's creationist father isn't happy with this at all and goes to the college to confront the professor. The professor invites him to argue his side in a campus debate.

Along the way to the debate, a creationist journalism student argues that if your parents and grandparents weren't apes, you couldn't have evolved from apes - a laughable argument that swirled around during the Scopes Monkey trial of 1926. He also points out to Rachel and her father that another professor, Portland, was fired several years earlier for teaching Biblical creationism as science.

During the debate, Kaman explains that, according to Sigmund Freud, religion grew out of fear and ignorance of the unknown and fear of death. When things go wrong or disasters strike, people consider it to be divine punishment. When Kaman presses him to support his position, Mr. Whitaker concedes that he has no scientific proof of the afterlife and that the Bible was written my man. Kaman says, "So, your betting your afterlife on a book you can't explain about a god you can't prove." The scene is almost as good as Henry Drummond's confrontation with Matthew Brady in "Inherit the Wind" on the holes in the Genesis story of creation (hence the 2 stars instead of just one).

The former professor Portland then steps in with some worn-out creationist responses to evolution. He claims that laboratory experiments aren't enough to explain the development of complex organisms, that a designer was needed, that fossil records don't show the continuous development of life from one form to another, and that the Earth is not millions (much less billions) of years old (tipping his hat to the Young Earthers). Portland says what amounts to a concession that creationism is all about religion and not science, "The one who holds to Creation has his beliefs firmly rooted in the truths contained in the Bible and a personal God who created everything." He adds, "You can chance your eternity on the views of Freud and Darwin if you want. I'm putting my trust in Jesus Christ who died on the cross for my sins, was buried and rose again on the third day." The debate ends with Kaman offering no responses to Portland, which is not surprising for a slanted movie like this one.

"A Matter of Faith" is obviously a movie for creationists. The lesson is that if your creationist viewpoint doesn't stand up to the mountains of scientific evidence supporting evolution and the 4.5 billion year age of the Earth, just respond by saying the Bible supports your position. Anyone who doesn't believe in the story of Genesis will either laugh or cringe at this movie. The movie was released in only 52 theaters, according to Box Office Mojo. It was so low on the radar that it doesn't have a Rotten Tomatoes profile. Were the producers worried that showing the movie to a wider audience might expose the weak arguments used to support creationism to widespread ridicule?

A Matter of Zealous Bigotry Based On Gullibility and Ignorance

[papelindholm · 28 April 2021]

'I don't understand this and have to protect my kids from understanding it', thus Futurama is a prophecy.

Gets to the heart of the problem

[josephwalker-51629 · 9/10 · 26 December 2017]

As stated in the movie, science is supposed to be based on observation; yet the beginning of the human race was never observed. So called scientific proof is based on data after the fact, which ultimately depends on interpretation. Absolute proof is humanly impossible, because there is always the possibility of an unknown factor; therefore, only someone who knows everything can absolutely prove anything. Science is the pursuit of knowledge, which implies a lack of knowledge, and something that is not completely known is based on faith. So everything we know, such as the theory of evolution or creationism, is ultimately based on belief (and evolution boils down to the belief that God either does not exist or did not do everything that He claimed). According to the Bible, every plant or animal produces after it's own kind meaning: i.e., apes produce apes, and humans produce humans, which is self evident. If I told an evolutionist, "hey, I saw an ape produce a human", they would laugh at me; yet, that is basically what they are saying whether they want to admit it or not. God had the Bible describe creation, because only He observed it, and only His account is credible. According to the Bible, Eve was the mother of all living, Eve was made from Adam's rib, Adam was made from dirt, and God made Time, Space, and Mass (these events could have never been deduced from the "rock record"). According to the Bible, the earth was created before the sun, moon, and stars, so the earth is unique and was not formed the way it is imagined retrospectively by science. According to the Bible, the earth was created with age (not a ball of fire under Adam's feet on the 6th day), the trees were fully grown (baring fruit). And according to Biblical genealogy, we are only about 150 generations from Adam, which does amount to approximately 6,000 years (6 days of creation representing 6,000 years, "a day for a 1000 years" 2 Peter 3:8).

Not evangelistic but tells of faith

[joematlockauthor · 7/10 · 19 January 2018]

Clearly a film made by believers for those of faith. Since the majority of reviews here are from those who do not understand or knows God's love - I can see this story will not resonate with them. So, for those who have discover God's love and, hopefully, your love for Him then this be above science.

My undergrad degree is chemistry so there is some that I disagree with, like time/evolution presentation. For those seeking an evangelistic tool "Risen" or God's Not Dead" would be better... The first is a "what if" scenario and the latter presents facts. If you are witnessing to a literary person, I recommend the novel: "The Other Side Of Courage."

Oddly, an atheist friend taunted me into watching "A Matter Of Faith" and I recommend it to only those seeking inspirational entertainment. Non-believers clearly can't see or 'forgive' the concept of the story. I would have thought the film's title alone would discourage Humanists, hence minimizing the review slams presented here.

One of the Worst Movies Ever.

[NickGagnon942 · 1/10 · 5 March 2020]

A Matter of Faith is a frustrating propaganda piece...and thats mostly what it is. Aside from being an awful film its just Creationist propaganda. The odd thing is is that the Creationists in the film seem more like the villains of the film. The film is about a young girl named Rachel who goes to collage and takes a Biology class in which the professor (Kaman) played by Harry Anderson. He teaches evolution like in a Biology class. Rachel's father gets upset because Evolution is taught and confronts Kaman. Kaman is far more likable in this discussion and film. However Rachael's father wants a creation alternative taught. He wants to interrupt the school system to support his beliefs. He wanted for his daughter to go to a Christian school but she did not. Fine. Shes an adult. She can go to what school she wants. So the message of the film is to not think for yourself or is it that certain parts of science is bad?

The film leads into a straw man debate in which the creations actually cheat and destroy the debate by switching debaters in the middle of the debate. How were these supposed to be the good guys? This is a film about a girl who goes out to the world and getting an education but the film thinks that is a bad thing. A Matter of Faith is an awful film in every way. Its a terrible propaganda film of the worst kind.

Amazing!!!!

[mountaindew-42729 · 10/10 · 14 April 2018]

I just finished watching this movie for the first time on Netflix and I loved every single part of the movie! I love how it comes full circle when at the end Rachel and Evan realize that God used them in each other's lives.

It provides food for thought

[irvinetustin · 7/10 · 27 October 2014]

A Matter of Faith is a movie that hits home with me. When I went to college one of the challenges that I faced as a Christian was the criticisms that I faced from some of the professors on the accuracy of the Bible.

I related to Rachel character's difficulty living her life as a Christian on a secular college campus that welcomed her but did not welcome her spiritual beliefs. I was different from Rachel because where she was raised in the faith, I didn't become a Christian until the summer before my senior year in high school and almost no one in my family went to church.

When I arrived at college my freshman year I found myself rather intimidated by my new surroundings. This was where my professors confronted me with how The Big Bang Theory and The Theory of Evolution challenge what is taught in the Bible regarding the origin of our species. At that time I believed in both the Big Bang Theory and The Theory of Evolution, I simply believed God used both of them to create the universe. However, I noticed that the Big Bang Theory and The Theory of Evolution had one word in common, and that word is "Theory." And since they are theories it shows that they can't prove them as facts. If they could prove them as facts then they would call them "laws" not "theories." Since they believe the theories it shows the professors have faith in the theories. So whether you believe in The Big Bang and Evolution or Creationism, either way it's a matter of faith.

As a Christian the only one I signed up to have faith in is God; I never signed up to have faith in my college professors. So anytime my professors said anything that went against the Bible I chose to believe what the Bible said.

However, I was generally quiet about my faith while I was in college. I never confronted a college professor the way the dad in the film does. The character named Evan who is a current student is vocal about his beliefs in Creationism. Professor Portland was teaching Creationism while he was on staff at the college and it cost him his job. I admired their courage and commitment to stand up for what is right. It inspires me to do the same.

Embarrassing!

[snik101 · 1/10 · 20 May 2016]

As a Christian student studying a Biology major I was embarrassed by this movie.

Portraying people who believe in evolution as evil, and Christians as stubborn big heads is a terrible way to prove a point!

I would not recommend this to anyone, and even encourage people to avoid it as this is not a fair representation of either Christians or believers of evolution. Let alone just a bad movie.

Science and Christianity can co-exist, and in my opinion everything I learn about Biology and Evolution makes me appreciate his creation even more (by whatever method that may have been).

Food for thought, have you ever considered that God's creation of the universe may have happened with a bang?

worst manipulative lying piece of garbage

[lallejelvin · 1/10 · 5 May 2016]

God Awful

this was one of the worst garbage movies I've ever seen in my entire life. it manipulates and tries to force feed the viewer with lies. don't watch it unless u cant think for yourself and need to validate your faith with false statements and a feel good atmosphere.

if you do watch it, be prepared to almost cringe at times because of the way christians are portrayed as good vs the evil atheists, its enough to almost make you vomit. i assume that there are some hardcore Christian fundamentalists who would enjoy this movie, but for the common man you should avoid it at all costs.

Oh god that sucked.

[paradoxofepicurus · 1/10 · 23 March 2016]

If your a creationist and don't want your beliefs tested, well then watch this movie. Poor Harry Anderson, I grew up watching Night Court and now he's doing these kind of bad Christian propaganda films. Spoiler Alert: This movie sets out to make secular people look like all of them are self absorbed and morally bankrupt. The first test of the evil biology professor is to ask what came first the chicken or the egg? The egg obviously did, eggs predate birds, dinosaurs laid eggs. The movie is all most entirely void of any real evolutionary biology and the big debate at the end fizzles out before it really gets started. Even the debate is all most void of evolution. Evolution explains the diversity of life not its origins. This film implies That everybody who believes in evolution is atheist and all Christians are young earth creationists. This movie is all most as bad as God is Not Dead. Anybody with a little knowledge in evolution should be able to debate better than the biology professor in this film. If I were a Christian I would be embarrassed at how black and white they make the world, us against them, our faith against their evil agenda. Stupid, stupid movie.

really?

[sean-csonka · 1/10 · 10 November 2015]

I tried to watch this with an open mind, yet realized early-on it had the same merit as a Jonestown Koolaid commercial. Aside from a poignant speech at the very end of the movie, the majority of the movie was a feeble sales pitch for a dwindling cult following. Truthfully, I've watched Sci-Fi movies where the characters provide details that suspend belief long enough to buy into the storyline. Here, the crappy acting really promoted no interest in the fantasy characters that the movie is partly based on. The audience is expected to abandon intelligence and reason in order to blindly adopt a weakly developed character (or character amalgamation) I think the purpose of making this terrible movie was to try to enlist new members to a rapidly dwindling cult using hollow logic and citing mythical situations as "proof" to support their weak indoctrination attempt.

Another anti-college film hard at work

[johann_hollar · 1/10 · 26 July 2016]

Like God's Not Dead that came out that same year it makes college look like a bad place for Christians to go, independent thought is evil and that faith can win in a straw man argument. The only difference is that it attacks evolutionary sciences instead of atheism. What they fail to realize is 1) people need to college to get better jobs 2) Creationism is a joke 3) Critical thinking is more relevant in today's society than faith alone & 4) Those of us who actually went to college know that science (even when it has nothing to do with evolution) is part of General Ed requirements. Question: did the people involved with the making of this film actually go to college?

A good movie despite what others say

[mhkezie · 19 July 2016]

First of all I'd like to say to the people saying that this movie does not teach true evolution, the movie does not need to he correct with evolution because as the movie is pointing out is evolution does not exist. We are a race of people who can't even travel the entire universe but yet man tries to say they know how it was created? They say it happened because of a big bang, how do you know that a bang isn't just the process of which God achieved this feat in? This movie does what its supposed to and make unbelievers rethink their situation. The people who are so cruelly dissing this movie are clearly just unbelievers themselves.But the bigger question is this,you who believe there is no God then what is the point of your life? Are you not just waiting to cease to exist? Who cares what mark you leave on the world you cease to exist you wont even know you left a mark. If there was no God no creator that would make life pointless. People only use the excuse there is no God so they can live life whatever way they want to. Believing in God gets you to heaven, believing in science gets you to a inevitable outcome of ceasing to exist because you don't believe there is a heaven. So can you all Tell me if your not a scientist yourself why do you follow this belief? I pray that all who read this will find God through Jesus. In Jesus name amen

Stunning to see this movie so poorly rated

[avocadess · 10/10 · 31 December 2017]

I watched this movie particularly because it received such a phenomenally low rating on IMDB. Most Christian movies take a lot of hits from atheists and agnostic and other pro-evolutionists, but this one seemed to distinguish itself with a full two points lower rating than the average Christian film. I had to see why!

Now that I have watched the film, I am stunned -- because it really is very good. Perhaps it is because it is that good it hits a nerve for naysayers.

It's a perfectly good film, good cinematography, good screenwriting, good acting and yes, it has a purpose to show that it is both unscientific and just plain wrong for schools and universities to teach evolution as if that were the only possibility. I heard someone say that it takes more faith for someone not to believe in God than it does to believe in God. That is true. Additionally, it takes more faith to believe in evolution and that humans came from apes and that trees, flowers, the sun, moon, stars, animals and humans came from nothing but an accident.

Bravo to the filmmakers. Well done! P.S. I don't really know if this contained spoilers or not so I said yes just in case.

"A Matter of Faith" Good but not Great

[rxbcqv · 7/10 · 27 February 2023]

"A Matter of Faith" Watched on: Pureflix

The Rule of 90 minutes (my rule for movies that are less than 90 minutes is they are not as good as movies longer than 90 minutes) : 1hr 29min

Do I personally recommend this film: 80% Christian themed: 100% Acting: 40% Writing: 70% Cinematography: 60% Total: 70%

Tigger warning: Adult Situations, Collage boys trying to "make a move" on collage girls, Adult child talking back to parents

If this movie we're getting a letter grade it would get a "-C." I do personally recommend it for all audiences.

A personal note: This movie is like many others that have come before it. The writing is pretty good, but the acting could be way better.

Summary: Jordan (Jordan Trovillion) is going away to college where she's about to learn about evolution. Her parents come to visit when her dad (Stephen Whitaker) learns of the curriculum. He confronts to professor and is somehow going to be in a debate of evolution vs creationism.

Garbage

[nonillion2001 · 1/10 · 15 July 2021]

This movie was surely made for stupid people. It of course deals with the evolution vs. Creationism issue, but to make creationism the more favorable school of thought, which really disgusts me. It all starts off with some carefree young woman who is starting college and she is initially on good terms with her biology professor, until her father discovers that he's teaching evolution. Once that happens, the war begins. Rachel (of whom I explained earlier) is now disgusted with the idea that her creationist father is debating her biology professor, and she obviously doesn't want it to happen. Later a crazy ass dude named Evan comes into the picture and he begins imposing his religious beliefs onto others, which is one of the most disgusting things one can do. If you're religious, then you best keep it yourself if you know what's good for you. If you impose your beliefs onto others, then that's clearly unacceptable. But anyway, Evan obviously loves to impose his creationist beliefs onto others, and even Rachel is disgusted by it.

Later in the film the debate happens, only to realize that it won't go down well. It all starts with the biology professor and the father. They make their opening statements, and later it turns into a huge argument, but at least the biology professor is able to put the father in his place, until a man named Portland comes into the picture who is played by none other than Clarence Gilyard (of Matlock and Walker Texas Ranger fame). And I'm like wow!!!. Gilyard is playing a creationist troll, and this is seriously a downfall for an actor who played rather secular roles, and I'm like I can't believe he's playing a creationist. Sometimes I wonder if Gilyard is a creationist in real life, or maybe he just played the character to get paid.

But anyway, the debate then turns into a lecture and the professor loses all ground, and he's essentially imposing his creationist beliefs onto the audience, which clearly disgusted me. It then lead to realize that this isn't even a debate, and the movie must of been made to piss so many people off. So to sum it all up, this movie is garbage and it was obviously made to accommodate fundamentalist Christians who really rather cling to their irrational beliefs than listen to any objective reality.

God Wins

[trevorc-250-107338 · 10/10 · 11 August 2018]

Great movie that has simplified a complex topic to glorify God.

I loved the underlying theme of the relationship between parents and their daughter on her way to university and all the issues, good and bad that she will face.

Love standing up

[stormy183 · 6/10 · 27 June 2020]

I love how the 1 dad stood up for God since he is the 1 who created the heavens and the earth and all animals and the seas . We did not come from apes and adam and eve were the 1 st he created.

Just another propaganda movie

[redvagineer · 1/10 · 21 April 2016]

This was one of the worst movie experiences of my life. Not only the acting was horrible, also the plot itself reminded me of nothing but ISIS propaganda just with a different group of self-righteous people and no be headings. As always the religious people were portrayed as victims and secular people and atheists portrayed as evil, immoral, treacherous people. Our hero comes to rescue his daughter from the corruption of the "evil professor" who is the villainous champion of Satan's lies (aka science, logic, reason). And the evil professor challenges the hero to a debate , which turns into a sermon with no debating at all.

The movie definitely isn't worth watching, unless you want to watch a sermon in a propaganda movie form.
