Review of God's Not Dead 2 (2016) by Visualboy — 05 Apr 2016
Let's talk about this film's aesthetic appeal, rather than its message (see elsewhere). You want CLOSEUPS? Every actor's face is so tightly framed, it's exhausting to watch. Sheesh! At least 3/4 of the movie is facial closeups.
Overall, a harsh, angry tone pervaded the film. I walked out of the theater feeling ready to rip **** apart, rather than feeling blessed and filled with the Holy Spirit (I think 2015's War Room did better on that account). I agree with Consequence of Sound reviewer who wrote that the scene in the church by the Martin character playing Nearer My God to Thee was the most hearfelt true scene (see this: http://consequenceofsound.net/2016/04/film-review-gods-not-dead-2/.
Overall, a weird film that will likely anger atheists even more, and won't even score points with Christians, I reckon.
