Despite the campus setting, little about the story is intelligently designed.
Todd VanDerWerff
Even by the rather lax standards of the Christian film industry, God's Not Dead is a disaster.
Stephen Farber
The film is slickly produced, with a competent cast, and although it sometimes stacks the deck shamelessly in defense of its credo, it does allow a few dissenting voices to slip into the debate.
Scott Foundas
The Almighty deserves better advocacy than he gets in this typically ham-fisted Christian campus melodrama.

God. Is. NOT. Dead. Two thumbs up for this movie! Yes, God does love us so much that he actually died for our sins that we made, past, present, and future. He had all the sins and curses upon his shoulders, but yet he still loves us like a father loves his child. He is knocking on the door of your heart right now, waiting for you to answer it and love him back...

Atheist listen This was a great movie! All you atheists do is point out the bad things. It makes me quite ticked. Do you want to have a good argument about this stuff because I am more than willing. I shouldn't even have to say this stuff because, if your an atheist why would even watch something like this, sounds like a double cross to me. Some of you say that no atheist will force you to say God's not dead, and my answer to that is ask the dead young women and men who got their heads blown off because the where asked

It's OK For starters, it was alright. They definitely could have capitalized on the theme. And for the people who believe that this wa an unreal scenario, look at the former Denver professor and his interviews on FOX news. He is a self proclaimed atheist who thought that America got what was coming to them on 9-11. Last I checked that was pretty real. And it did a pretty good job on the reasons God exists. It really boils down to faith. You must believe that God exists. Then you will be rewarded in heaven.
Wow What a joke. Bad portrayal of characters, especially the professor, comedic arguments, uncommonly realistic situations. I'm appalled by the high reviews. People really don't know a great objectively movie when they see one. Then again if I was religious, I guess I would like anything that relates to that.

Wonderful Movie! A Must See!! This is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. Everyone must see this. Great chance to discuss your beliefs with others. Watch this with others then tell them that there is only ONE God in Heaven and Jesus is His Name. Then read Acts 2:38 together. "38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Ghost."

Beautiful. Such an inspiration and a great reminder of what God can do when we stand up for our faith. You don't see this in the world because we are too afraid of what the world can do to us. But stronger is He that is in you than he who is in the world. Don't be afraid, Jesus has overcome the world. For those who say how can someone be dead if he never existed, well it's a good thing God's alive. I would love to see believers stand up for their faith. I pray this movie is an inspiration to all of us to do just that.

Atheism is a GOOD thing. Atheist is an ugly word, that is why people automatically think it's an ugly thing but it's not. I just wanted to say that by doing good by ME makes me an even better person than any Christian... Why? Bc I'm not scared by Hell into being a good boy. Help people that need it and someday when you need help someone will be there.

God is NOT DEAD!!! Awesome movie it is a great way to explain to people that God is real and alive, reason why people become atheists is cause something in their life happened for them to be discouraged and choose not to believe. If they would read the bible from old to new testament with an open sincere mind they will see the grace and mercy the lord has on us. Then when they get to Jesus being nailed to the cross God clearly states he has also nailed the law to the cross with his Son, behold Jesus is now the new covenant. God bless

God IS Dead The only way they can gain a victory over atheists is by reducing us to a caricature. This movie doesn't know how to make an argument and it shows as they have to depict the philosophy teacher as an immoral jerk who FORCES his students to do an assignment where they cannot choose to believe in God which NO atheist would ever do. Next time Christians want to argue the existance of God try not using arguments that have been thoroughly debunked, and actually depict an atheists as a real person would act.

Worst scenario ever Unrealistic scenario, the people who did like it are probably to afraid to have their own opinions. Like god gave us the ability to have our own thoughts. We evolved to the beings we are today. Also very bias, but it is a Christian movie so it has to. In other words, terrible or needs a lot of improve aments to make it realistic.

Almost The moral - great. Message - great. Inspiring - yes. Dialog/Acting - a little amateur, fake. Kind of like trying to put so much into limited time that, instead of establishing one or two story lines really well, there were a lot of halfway developed avenues that cheapened the overall movie. Luckily the overall story was inspiring enough to almost make up for it.

Dumb movie This was dumb. They based it of a Christian that stopped believing. What they should have done was have the instructor be a raised atheist. That could have provided more argument then just saying cuz I hate god. Should have had the character be a true don't believe in god, devil, muhammad, religion period. That would have made for a better movie. Also the ending sucked dude gets hit by a car and all that guy could say do u have Christ in your life. No I need medical attention.

4.4 Stars? Really? This is a horrible movie. It poorly portrays an atheist in a situation that no atheist would put themselves in. The only reason it has this high of a rating, I'm guessing, is because most reviews are by Christians who are afraid they will get one more ding against their sin count if they're honest with themselves about just how bad the movie really is.

Outstanding!!!!!! This is an Outstanding movie and song. The movie fills your soul with a range of strong emotions at once..... hope, empathy, and love. Sad to see so many didn't like this movie..... evil and immorality is the norm now. I am glad I am one of the rare few. :OP Don't forget to pick up the soundtrack to the movie...... The Newsboys are an awesome group.
