Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

ShangLuda Admirable film.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

cinephile-27690 This is the Kendrick Brothers movie I rank last. Now, as you can see from my star rating, that has no effect on the movie itself. But there are 5 Kendrick movies, and one must take the #5 spot. The movie has a great message on using prayer in tough times. The humor, as always, works well. But why is this #5? I think the others have better stories, jokes, messages, etc. And, as I once heard as a critique, the jump rope plot is not really all that needed. Despite what I could pick at, that does not hinder how important it is in today's society! I can't wait for their 6th film to come out!

Syd R The whole movie is riddled with bad effects, lines and even worse acting. Some parts of the acting are soo bad I literally cringed in my seat, it was a burden to sit through this movie with my family. The directer seems to have assumed they could cut every corner by throwing an "amen" or an "praise Jesus" here and there. They are trying to make a quick buck on peoples beliefs. My sister refused to talk about the shitty parts or even acknowledge they existed because she is so religious. I guess the directer got their wish...

Millspeak of Palawan War Room portrays an ideal situation where the hand of God is at real work with people of obedience. It delivers a riveting story that lets Christian viewers leave the theater with misty eyes. It simply narrates the family's struggles and resolutions to become a real happy family amid parenting, career and marriage crisis. Any Christian audience who is expectant and is serious in looking out for new things to learn will not be disappointed. There are various practical things that one can learn from the simple real-life examples that seem to be spontaneously intertwined.The film delivers a clear message about the importance of prayer in a Christian's battle in the spiritual realm, and though the film primarily tried to focus on prayer as its main theme, it somehow depicted ordinary circumstances in a Christian's life where one can pick lessons to apply or improve in his own life.Except for a few plot holes where some scenes seem too quick to occur, the film undeniably reveals a great improvement in the motion picture production of Christian films that portray strong Christian faith and values. War Room may reasonably appear unappealing and lackluster to the secular audience, but the Kendrick brothers did way greater than many famous secular films.

Cinefill1 -War Room is a 2015 American Christian drama film directed by Alex Kendrick and co-written and produced by Stephen Kendrick. War Room is the Kendrick brothers' fifth film project and their first film project through Kendrick Brothers Productions. Provident Films, Affirm Films and TriStar Pictures partnered with the Kendrick brothers to release the film.-Regarding the title of the film, director Kendrick says "We called it 'War Room' because, like the military, we should seek God for the right strategy before going into combat. By combat, I mean daily issues we face in our culture." The film was released in North American theaters on August 28, 2015, and received generally negative reviews from critics, but became a box office success and a sleeper hit. Regarding War Room's box office performance, CNN said "some might call it a faith-based David versus the secular Goliaths in the entertainment industry".--African-American portrayal: -Initial plans had the main characters being white; however, Alex began having dreams about a predominantly African-American cast and, believing that God was trying to tell him something, the brothers switched the characters to make it more in line with Alex's dream. Early on, Sony expressed some concerns over a film with a mostly African-American cast produced by a white-led production company, but the brothers stuck to the premise.-Several characters in the film are African-American and being released only months after the Charleston church shooting, those involved with the film claim to believe that the timing of release is no coincidence. According to director Kendrick, when Affirm Films first saw the film, they claimed, "If this had been told with a different race, it would be a different movie." -Stallings, who plays a major role in the film, says, "There are many people out there—white and black—who stay with their families and work through their problems. They aren't thugs or gang leaders. 'War Room' tells the truth about society by showing the reverse of that stereotype. Racial tension is dangerous and people are dying and a lot of us want to see that stopped. We protest and speak out and tweet out, but this problem is much bigger than human beings. This movie will give people a way to take these problems to the Lord and show them that prayer is the best weapon to fight back."--Critical response: -War Room has received mostly negative reviews from critics. Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a rating of 34%, based on reviews from 32 critics, with an average rating of 4.4/10.Metacritic gives the film a score of 26 out of 100, based on reviews from 11 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".-The Christian Post praised the film, calling it better than Courageous and Fireproof. According to Crosswalk.com "it comes as good news that War Room is a step up for the Kendricks, who continue to develop as filmmakers." Nick Olszyk of Catholic World Report similarly praised the film, writing it successfully portrayed "prayer... forgiveness, temptation, conversion, and, most importantly, the cosmic struggle between God and the devil that occur in every home and every heart." -The Los Angeles Times called the film more of a Bible study than anything else and "so heavy on broad pulpit pounding that it's challenging to get swept away by the story's message."
