From who? Evangelical Christians?! In the end, it will reduce Evangelical Christianity even further, hastening its decline. Those who believe will continue to do so, as will those who don't; those who are on the fence will, however, encounter higher Biblical criticism and will inevitably come to realize that the movie is just a 2-hour long ad of bullshit, and not serious scholarship.
"The movie is popular" isn't evidence outside it being popular. Roadrunner doesn't want to face that. If you could ask the citizens of Pyongyang think Un's state TV and propaganda parades are nifty too. India also has their own "Hollywood" in India they call it "Bollywood" and I bet their heros look quite different when they put out religious themed movies. I am sure if you could watch Iran's state media or Saudi Arabia's state media, they too would put out popular themes their societies like.
Roadrunner is simply excited about his club propaganda promotion, well so what, other nations put out their own pop heros and themes.
