christploitation flick needs to happen. "No one's ever made the Bible run in under 28 hours!!"
Call it like "The Bible Belt" or something
"In the not-too-distant future" Next Sunday, A.D. It's reflexive by now, and I won't apologize for it.
I grew up on MST3K, so it feels like the default following line whenever I hear that. 😉😂🤣
There was a guy named Joel. Not too different than you or me...
Thanks Brad for seeing all the Christplotation movies so we don't have to!
Old Fashioned seems to creep me out the most in a certain way
The funniest part of this movie is that the people who made it unironically live by the King James bible. You know the one a king paid to have written to make the word of God better fit with his agendas? Keeping that in mind how can this movie not be art?
I watched this movie and I was the only one in the theater. It felt like a Naked Gun/Airplane parody of Christian/faith based movies except they’re being serious.
So he's saying they missed the opportunity to call this Next Sunday A.D.
Or call it a "Bible Back" program.
Also, the recession has even hit religions hard. They almost halved the number of disciples.
Hee hee, Bible Black. I get that reference 😏
@@JinxSanity
No, I meant "Bible Back" instead of "Buy Back". I didn't know what Bible Black is & now I'm horrified that I looked it up.
These persecution fantasy movies are made by people who've never even acknowledged that poor people actually exist.
Mr you need to read the Bible the Bible isn't fantasy the Bible is the true word of God
@@morganmorales610You fucking know what he means.
@@thefirstbourne149 yes I know what he means I've been evangelist of 44 years of my life. And I don't like people who cuss like that either. I haven't cashed the Bible is not fantasy the true Living Word of God. Maybe you need to try to read it for yourself
@@morganmorales610A, That’s literally an opinion. B, the fantasy about this movie is based around that of people who think it’s such relevant satire that people are trying to persecute the Bible. The only persecution people who are so into that line of thinking face is people trying to advocate for more rights of those who actually face really bad prejudice, sometimes by people like unfortunately dare I say it, evangelists.
I appreciate your takes on Christian films. You poke fun at them without being acerbic and hateful.
Just saw your review of this movie. You did a great job! Thos movie, from what I understand of why some YA Dystopias went downhill because the government was evil but for one dimensional reasons. I mean, The Book of Daniel and The Book of Esther kinda read like Dystopians for believers. Maybe one day someone competent will adapt them into that: Biblical Dystopians and MAYBE we'll finally get some Christian awesome movies without them being so doggone terrible!
I'm sorry, the War Room what...?
War Room 2: War Harder

I can't believe this is the kind of stuff that keeps people up at night: "but wat if govnment bans bibles?"
Thank you for reviewing these less than stellar movies.
Castlevania: Disciples in the Moonlight
That was my first thought, sounds like a lost title in the series...
Mine is King Harvest's Dancing in the Moonlight. I've accidentally said Dancing instead of Disciples a few times already.
Yeah, the title makes it sound like a romance fanfic. Deciples of Jesus find brotherhood, and love, within their own ranks.
Have you ever seen the Diablo in the pale moonlight? I have, and it's fantastic!
Hope you do a cinema snob review for the forge like war room
As someone who is an African American Christian, I read the premise of that movie. And, I immediately guessed correctly it would have an African American boy, because why not stereotype black people?
Also, I hope he reviews God's Not Dead 5: Rise Up
Next Sunday. AD.
Anti book banning? How very topical. Hope they feel the same way about all books.
Christians that whine about persecution would put everyone they don't like in the prison if they had any kind of serious power.
No, we wouldn’t. We want people to turn from their sins.
@@ForceMaximus84 Maybe you wouldn't, maybe I wouldn't, but I know plenty of us that would.
@@lego4virgothen those people aren’t real Christians. That is not what God commands us to do. He commands us to love even our enemies. To forgive others that in our sinful human minds don’t deserve to be forgiven.
@@lego4virgosecular society puts many people in prison that don’t deserve it either good ol humanism!
@@sofiabravo1994 Not sure what you mean by this statement. Elaborate, please.
Ah yes, the ol' "Christian persecution" fantasy.
And just at the beginning of the year, we started off great with Ordinary Angels and Cabrini!
i mean Christians are the most persecuted religious group in the world
I wish these christian movies were written by people who had some actual background in the history of the bible, or even the history of christianity in general. Like, this premises but within a world experiencing a major religious schism, where the protagonists are working for one sect against another, could be fascinating. Have the other side as a direct state-sanctioned sect and show all the inherent problems with that. Like, there's a ton of stuff that you could do with the idea, but given the people behind these kind of movies have no motivation outside of simple propaganda, they ultimately just wind up being disappointing.
Then I guess I just picked a whole bouquet of oopsie daisies.
These movies are just for these folks to live out some sort of martyr complex fantasy about being persecuted and suppressed. It's ridiculous. Thanks for sitting through this for us Brad.
In The Not Too Distant Future
Somewhere Between Time and Space.
Mike Nelson and His Robot Pals
Are Locked In an Endless Chase.😢😮
They spent money on this instead of a homeless shelter. But I'm glad the evangelical community is on hand to lecture the rest of us about the evils of banning books. Unlike religion itself, you just can't make this sh*t up.
Parts of this movie were filmed at my mom and dads old house!!!
Funny how they say 'In the not-too-distant future', when the movie iitself s genuinely about a book that is often read every Sunday, A.D.
“We must get this book that no one who believes it has actually read to everyone!”
At least Denzel Washington makes some very great movies like Crimson Tide;Training Day;Antwone Fisher;Unstoppable and Flighg.😢😮😅😊
The Eastbound and Down bit makes me wish there was a whole scene where a bunch of religious truckers actually help them get through while blocking the feds. I'd watch that movie just for that scene (and hopefully that music) alone.
This is the future Miss Sacthleben warned us about at Christian Elementary School!
Haven't seen this
Wait - they had a group called "The Disciples" and they had 7, not 12 of them? Have 5 of them have non-speaking roles if you must, but the symbology seems obvious.
The theater was full when I saw it.
Full of what?
00:19 NEXT SUNDAY A.D.
00:24 NEXT SUNDAY A.D.
Book of Eli?
I don't know. Book of Eli was pretty good.
"Government-approved Bible"--yeah, I could see this happening under a second Trump administration.
I just saw the trailer for The Forge, aka War Room 2. There HAS to be a Snob episode on it!
where can we watch this movie?
But are you reviewing Deadpool next weekend?
Most likely.
@@StonedGremlinProductions good, you can cleanse yourself from this movie.
I agree they could have cut it down to an 1 hr 12 mins. I did enjoy Sound of Hope. This was Brett first film and I cut him some slack. Film making is expirencial . And I hope he learns from his mistakes and makes better Christian Films. God bless!
@@glorialovesChrist wait, this is the same guy who wrote Sound of Hope?
@@jacindaellison3363 no
@@glorialovesChrist oh, ok. Thanks.
so the protagonists of this movie, the people we are supposed to be following, are fighting the government to reinstate the misogynistic, violent and bigoted version of their book? these are the good guys?
Bless Brad for watching these shitty religious movies so we don’t have to!
Never heard of this one
Maybe I would have his movie more seriously if it had been taken place in china or Saudi Arabia you know where real Christian persecution takes place.
Wait, 'The Forge' is a sequel to 'War Room'? Sh*t, guess I got to watch 'War Room' before hand.
There's a War Room sequel? Will it also have drug dealing and God food poisoning someone to prevent them from cheating?
It's another stereotyping: African American teen having problems at home because he doesn't have a father figure. Mama can't control him, and of course, Papa isn't in his life. Recently, I read the premise of this story, and without even knowing seeing any posters or trailer, I knew the premise was going to be about an African American.
@@jacindaellison3363 That's it? I'll be skipping then. Big ups on the reply.
@others1455 thanks! I'm happy to help. Movies like the one Brad just reviewed encourages me as a Christian to make my books more appealing and demand that they get quality if they ever get turned into movies.
So what the Gov said though shalt only read the Hippy be kind Jesusy new testament
I wonder if this a sequel to God's not Dead 🤔
Well, there is a sequel to God's Not Dead. It's called Rise Up, and it's coming out this year on Sept.12
they should have put Sorbo in it
Hilarious how this movie didn't took into account things like VPN, just download bible from another country bro.
It actually did...
Wait....a War Room sequel????
@@Nicolletta13 it's more of a spin-off
👍🏻
Watch oddity
Empty theater? Guess all those “true Christians” were busy watching some “woke” movie they claim to despise 😂😂😂
Was Hulk Hogan in this one?
brad doesn't get enough subscribers to go to see bad movies for our entertainment.
A war room sequel?🤣
Soo is this a good movie for a handy or ?
This sounds hilarious
Makes me wonder why this movie didn't get a screening at the Republican National Convention.
@@SpeedyEric1 thank God they didn't.
This review was most annoying. I couldn’t even get through it. It was over 4 min and could have been 30 sec
LAAAAAAAAAAAW
😂❤
You are truly don’t god’s work bro! Lol.
To be perfectly honest, something called the Enlightened Truth Bible sounds like something Trump would push. Especially if it's selling for $100.
@@DisneyMaster2 "Enlightened Truth Bible"...oh my God, they really called it THAT?!
Respect the original Bible!
the one written in Hebrew or...?
Respect the Old Testament. That's the only part of the Bible that matters.
I mean; you guys laugh, but is the idea of a re-edited Bible for the sake of watering down the dangers of sin really that far-fetched? Especially when Disney edits movies they own?
Yeah. A little bit. The whole idea is what sounds like the thousands of other Christian persecution complex movies are consistently trying to say that people are turning away from the Bible just like the Bible predicted, when it’s really just, as history shows, people having a different point of view and really just over time having a different view progressively. People have always been on-and-off about it. I don’t know what Disney editing their own movies has to do with it.
@@thefirstbourne149 It’s basically the idea that someone or group of people would try to ban or change the Bible for the sake of personal gain when God is against that. Given that we’re starting to see some who claim to be Christians try to manipulate the scriptures to promote certain things that God is against, the premise of the movie is not entirely out of the realm of possibility.
It's actually not. Especially considering that exactly one year ago, China announced doing exactly that. I've definitely heard mainstream media and folks online in the US talking about how dated it is, how maybe we shouldn't rethink it or shouldn't be allowed etc...
@@pylgrymkid The Bible definitely shouldn’t be tampered with, but some will definitely try. It’s just a question of when and by who.
