I went to see God's not dead, and I loved it. There were a couple of theologically iffy things (but they were really minor, things that would only differ between the belief statements of two different but similar churches). I would say this movie is definitely safe and God glorifying to see. I hope you get the chance to watch it.
I haven't seen Heaven is for Real, and I haven't heard much about it. However, I have seen a couple articles warning people to not get their belief in God from a movie, and expressing sorrow over the fact that many people will turn to a movie like this instead of to God to get answers or satisfaction. I'm sure the movie isn't bad to watch, but you should probably make sure that you firmly believe in God and Heaven before you see the movie, rather than afterward.
I haven't seen Noah, but from what I've heard, I'm never going to. I've heard that aside from the Ark and the names of Noah and his family, there's really nothing to do with the Bible story at all.

Tsur Ophelias Bathwater I've heard some good and bad (and weird) about all of them, but haven't seen any yet. I will probably end up seeing God's Not Dead and Noah eventually because my partner is a big fan of Kevin Sorbo and Russel Crowe. Most of the Christian bloggers I read said that Noah is the least terrible of all of them, but none of them is particularly good. What I take away from all of it is that it sure seems awfully difficult to make a movie based on something Biblical without alienating or angering a whoooole lot of people. sweatdrop Noah's the least terrible? Or most terrible? I read it was the worst. Reading some of the spoilers they pretty much turned the entire story on it's head making good appear evil and evil appear good. o.O; Taking artistic liberty doesn't mean you leave the entire story and all...
I heard something like that too. My parents saw Noah and basically the director spit on the biblical tail disregarding its story and creating his own theatrical spin on it. The director himself isnt exactly a great person either

I've not seen any of them.
Haven't heard much about "Heaven is Real". No desire to see it.
However, I've heard a lot about "Noah" and "God's Not Dead". The "Noah" movie is not according to the Biblical account, though I have heard that it is from Old Testament apocryphal books, specifically the book of Enoch. I don't know if this is true or not. I haven't read Enoch. I will not be seeing the movie, however. No desire to.
As for "God's Not Dead", I've heard some very good things about it. Most of the brethren I know promote it. But I have a problem with the movie because of certain critiques made by others, including a Christian movie reviewer. Apparently everyone is stereotyped, the acting is wooden, and the apologetics are terrible. If you're going to make a movie about a debate between a Christian and an atheist, make sure they both have strong arguments. The Christian doesn't even have to win to promote Jesus, in my opinion. Wooden acting I can deal with. But poor apologetics in a movie that is focused on apologetics (is belief in God rational or not?) and stereotyped characters really dampen my opinion of the movie. I haven't seen it. I don't intend to.
One line is the tired old cliche of "You can't prove God's existence, but you can't disprove His existence either". I love my brothers and sisters in Christ very much. But this isn't going to persuade atheists. They already know they can't disprove God, if they're honest. That's not the point.

I agree with most of this. It was very stereotyped and the actong was bad. I also didnt like that they were cramming multiple storylines. I wish they would have just focused on the debate. Idk, i couldnt tell what they were trying to get at with thr movie and i didnt like the ending.
