God's Not Dead is directed by Harold Cronk, and it stars Kevin Sorbo, Shane Harper, David A. R. White, and Dean Cain in a Christian drama film about a Christian kid that went into a college class where the teacher isn't a Christian, and wanted every students to write out, "God is dead.

" which didn't sit too well with the kid who didn't want to do that, and the teacher wants him to prove to the students that God is real, while a blogger is dealing with cancer, a pastor that couldn't get any car to start up when he has nothing to do, a Muslim being a Christian, and a daughter that has a mother who is suffering from dementia.

This was the first film that got me to remember about Pure Flix Entertainment, which I believe I got that from Brad Jones who reviewed this movie. I only did this movie because I never reviewed a Pure Flix movie before, nor seen it, so after getting through War Room and The Room, which I'll get onto that when I review it as I wanted to get this movie fresh on my mind where The Room basically left an impact on me, and I can say that while I wasn't as angry as I was with War Room, I still was a bit mad at the film for what it represented.

I can say that there are at least 2 positive aspects that I can say about this film, which are that Kevin Sorbo gives a really good performance as I can find him convincing as a teacher, even if the character himself in this is insane for the wrong reasons, and when it shows David A.

R. White's story, it's the most happy aspect of the film as there's nothing serious going on, but his story is useless and had no purpose to it other then the end of it. I can say that while War Room is offensive to Christians, this is offensive to Atheists and Muslims as Kevin Sorbo's character is an Atheist who hates God, which is more or less Misotheism than Atheist, which he's the villain of this movie, and while the girl's religion is Christian instead of Muslim, she gets physically beaten up and deal with her father who's Muslim.

When Shane Harper's character was trying to dealing with the situation from the teacher, it could've been easily be solved by telling the higher ups about the situation, or make lawsuits about it.

There were some consequences about the situation from the kid's life going on with relationship problems that have decisions that aren't the right choice, but when I thought that was bad, there was an even worse relationship problem with the blogger who has cancer that tells her boyfriend about her situation, and he gets mad at her as like she said something selfish, and dumps her at the spot, which is probably the worst human action that I've seen in a film, and he won't have any human qualities that will make me forgive him.

God's Not Dead is a very nonsensical film that doesn't know how to be a good-hearted Christian film that's not offensive to any type of religion, and not be preachy and heavy-handed in any way.
