Movie: God's Not Dead (Spoilers)

I am highly disappointed.  I was all ready to give the movie God's Not Dead five stars, deducting for the stereotypical poor acting by the non-lead actors, but adding for the fact that I enjoyed the message. But the ending.  What a horrible way to end a movie that was supposed to have a great message. Okay, so the professor was a dick, but the fact is is that he was beginning to realize what he had done wrong, and that he was wrong, on his own because of the events that had taken place, so what was the point of him dying?  Personally, if I wasn't a Christian and I watched this movie, I would leave it with a new found conviction in my lack of faith, or at least the idea that, perhaps God's NOT dead, but he's a jerk!  Why would you have an hour of build up to the main character, played by Kevin Sorbo, of how he came to be so angry with God, just to have his chance at redemption and the ability to right his wrongs taken away?  Mind you, this scenario may be realistic, but the fact is there was no conclusion to this story.  Kevin Sorbo's girlfriend's reaction to his death wasn't seen.  Dean Cain's change from his mother's narrative wasn't seen.  The affect of the boy's life afterward, and frankly the fact that not one person gave the credit to God for all of what took place and the "God's Not Dead" movement, the glory was all given to the boy.  What kind of message is this?  True, most Christians would not have the courage to do what the main character had done, but frankly so what?  He made a man who had lived his life encouraging others to not believe because of a hatred he had inside him to question his doubt.  That's a great feat in and of itself.  But then, for that man to die on the way to his redemption and turn around, immediately after he died to have thousands of people mocking him?  This movie, while a nice attempt, really let down, not only myself, but I believe everyone it was trying to reach that isn't a little cold hearted.  This film could have had a great message, however, the mocking of the recently departed, though the characters in the movie had no way of knowing, we as audience members did, and the writers did a poor job with the timing of the ending scenes.  It made Christians seem mean, cold hearted and vindictive, instead of convicted, strong hearted and pure.  Shame on the writers for this.

God's Not Dead two stars.
