Wife and I watched it last night, both thoroughly enjoyed it. Both of us thought it was well written and casted (wife is a big fan of Neal McDonough so getting her to watch wasn't too hard)

For such a small company, Angel Studios has really been putting out some damn good movies...Sound Of Freedom, The Shift, Bonhoeffer....all been damn good watches.

Looking forward to watching Homestead: The Series, looks to be a good continuation of the movie.

Saw the movie. I thought the show was a free stream, which I guess is obviously not the case, so never followed up with the show.


The movie was promising in the beginning. The middle, to the end (spoilers) just kind of got stagnant and more on farming and personnel management. While I’m sure that might be a real problem in the real world, it wasn’t really that entertaining to me, given the fact that it was perceived as apocalypse type movie.

I’m all for the Christian values, even in the movies, but, this went a little hard for what it was at the end.

We too watched the movie just last night. I dunno, but to me it seemed a documentary of "what not to do...."

And that IS coming from a Christian perspective.

So much of that movie was positive, and responsible. So many other things were simply delusional and fantasmic.
 
Recently watched it, and some was hyperbole, some of it went too far, some not enough, and some was I'm sure just was the intro points for the series, but if you were looking for it to be the next mission: impossible movie- you're missing the mark.
I'd say it's similar to the series Jericho if anyone has seen it.
I found it's a good way to get folks talking about having a plan, and what that'd look like to your individual family and situation. None of who I know can begin to touch what their place of refuge had as a whole. But we can all start somewhere- having a go bag. Having some food and water storage, stocking some basic ammo and gear, comms plans, and grow it from there.
I like how even as prepped as they were- they still were worrying about their other kids making it back "home" as any of us would be.
Overall, take it for what it is, I'm not bashing it against what it isn't.
