No but I would like to see it

My thoughts: God's NOT Dead.
Watch the movie and you will understand. :)

I never heard of this movie too. I'm going to look into it too.
-
No, but I want to.

Well not to be the guy who parades around critic reviews, but it got a 17% on rottentomatoes... that's pretty bad :P
-
Not yet but I am planning to see it. Seems like it will be a good movie.
-
I have seen it several times.
I think it is a very good movie.
I don't know what "rottentomatoes" is that Keroro mentioned in this thread.

Yeah,how dare Christians affirm their belief in God and all that. ::)

I have never seen the movie but I have died and saw and heard God so for all those who don't believe I will pray for you. Because you are God's children and he loves you and that is all he wants you to do is love and be kind to others.

I have not seen God's Not Dead but I heard it's a great movie. I am so looking forward to seeing it. :)

I have not seen this movie and really don't know anything about it. I know a few months ago I received a text from an aunt that has done some crazy stuff that just said "God's not Dead" and nothing else. And I am like uh did somebody say he was? She has in the past judged me harshly for not agreeing with her on certain things and the text actually kind of irritated me. Then I found out she sent it to my mom and cousin also. My cousin later saw the movie and said at the end of the movie it tells you to text that to all your contacts. I think that is foolish because most people do not know what the text is suppose to mean.

Loved it! I hope that people get the message. I am experiencing a faith walk myself. Sometimes in life we are left feeling lost and alone. When you have nowhere to turn and you give God control because you have no control, you get the message of what a faith walk really means. The car not starting in the movie is a great example of not being in control of the situation.

I am pretty sure I saw where it was either released or fixing to be released on a DVD.

Nope I have not seen it. I will when I have a chance.

I hadn't heard about this movie until I saw some short trailers on our cable's on-demand (the movie is now on-demand from our cable provider). The little I gathered from the trailer is that a college class is assigned by a professor to write a paper titled "God is Dead", and a student in that class says he cannot write it since he is a Christian.
I'm not sure whether I want to see it... Since the script looks more like a story and not a documentary, the director and others involved with the film can take poetic license for certain things (even if the story is based on an actual event which I'm not sure whether it is in this case for this particular film), esp. if it helps the film fit a particular viewpoint. Thus films like this often feel more like propaganda for a particular religion, and aren't really an academic debate on the topic.
I don't know what "rottentomatoes" is that Keroro mentioned in this thread.
That is a site that does reviews and previews of movies, TV shows, etc. (see http://www.rottentomatoes.com/ (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/)) I'm guessing that the low rating is in part due to the lack of interest in the general population for watching this type of movie. I also read some of the reviews on that site, and the main issue that most of the critics had is similar to why I'm hesitant about watching the movie myself; the critics said that the movie was too predictable and not really credible in terms of what would happen in the real world. Instead of portraying everyone as a human with both good and bad in themselves, the movie tends to have all Christians depicted as being wise and caring while all non-Christians (including a Muslim, who in the real world would also be against claiming that "God is Dead") are shown as being cruel and self-centered. Essentially they take poetic license to contrive everybody's actions and thoughts in order to justify their point of view.
