Crud. It was a religious themed movie :(

[Out Of Bubblegum]

Started to watch a SciFi movie on the Tubi streaming site called Invasion Planet Earth. But it turns out it was made to push a religious agenda. I should have read the IMDB first but I don't like getting spoilers.

EDIT: Do you know that organisations like The 700 Club that pay to produce movies that look like a "normal" movie but push how faith in a God can make your life better. Kinda like hiding a Sunday sermon in a movie. This was that kind of movie.

Some "religious agenda"... it has ~aliens~ invading the Earth :lunar2019crylaughingpig:

You don't get it. That is just the setting. The important part is that they find faith in God again. That is how these disguised movies are.

To misquote Gandhi. Christ is not scaring anyone. The so called Christians are.

Are there literal quotes from the bible in the writing for this movie? Is it that obvious or do they blend the ideas a little better than that?

[TwisterCat]

Cool.

A little better than that. No quotes. Took me 1/2 an hour to realize where they were going. Then I stopped watching.

Pulp Fiction is truly my favorite religious movie! Samuel Jackson delivering Ezekiel 25:17...beautiful.

Christ is King.

No you don't get it... you're just trying to find more windmills to tilt at..

It's Hollywood's version of what they think "religious" should be... not even worth calling "religion"

This was NOT made in Hollywood. Not even close. Your strawman windmill is nonsense.

Sometimes I don't mind if things have religious overtones.

When it kills it for me is when it feels like heavy handed propaganda.

That makes me want to shut things off.

So, you're upset that it wasn't your religion? Or you watch movies to take a break from religion?

Don`t think they even opened the book and looked like most of those people could not read anyway.

I do not like an agenda being hidden. I bet you hate "woke". Amiright? There are many types of hidden agendas.

Perhaps if things have some positive message that doesn't ONLY focus on Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck in the sky that could be a good thing.

The clumsy forced stuff just kills it...
