Most of you have
probably seen the trailers and advertisements for the new Christian-based
movie, War Room. I had the privilege to go see it this past weekend, and with
*hopefully* no spoilers, a review awaits.
Now I don’t want to go
into a lot of detail about the movie itself, for believe me, I’d give it all
away. Overall I found the moral of the story to be quite compelling. It’s really
something that could be applied to so many different lives and circumstances,
and that’s a really great quality for a film to have. I was expecting it to be
like every other film, a vague topic fluffed with drama, purely for entertainment
with no real purpose. But I was pleasantly surprised. The movie really didn’t
drift from the point; it stayed on topic and had real purpose. And it was easy
to follow. It all flowed nicely and hit so, so many valuable key points along
the way. The kind that stick with you even after you leave the theater, the
kind that you keep thinking about for days and weeks and months. It’s the kind
of movie that inspires people to actually get up and do something. And I admire that greatly.
Not to mention in the
midst of all this, - the movie was hilarious.
And that’s coming from me (It takes a lot
in a movie to make me dub it as hilarious.). There may have been some pretty
sappy and corny parts in there as well, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
Except in the scenes that I found the acting to be...as much as I hate to have
to say this, and I’m not quite sure how to put it, fake and forced. There were
just a few scenes that were far too predictable, at least for my taste. The
casting was overall wonderful, don’t get me wrong. It just wasn’t the most
convincing at times. But that’s certainly
nothing to get caught up on.
In conclusion, this
movie had a motive to inspire and change, and they surely achieved it.
Personally I can say that I walked away highly impacted. Impacted to change my
walk with the Lord and more specifically change my prayer life. Strengthen my
prayer life, revive my prayer life.
And I only hope it would do the same for you. This is an incredible movie that
I’d recommend to anyone. That’s what I love about it – like I said earlier, it
has something to be applied to so many different lives and circumstances. For
children, for teens, adults, couples, groups, families, I could go on. So if
you’re still debating about going to see it or not, I’d highly encourage you to
go! I’d definitely label it a must-see.
