I don't care about shitty movies with part-time Walmart employee actors. If the general public ignores a movie like this, the only people who will watch it are already convinced of its message, which would render it a complete failure.
On the other hand- and perhaps this is just the idealism in me talking- what we've got here is a prime piece of evidence with which to punish christians for their dishonesty. We'll never reach the hopelessly convinced, and those guys are gonna comprise this movie's main audience, but there are those we can reach, and in those cases there are three possible outcomes: they'll either A, not see the movie, B, see the movie without the addition of a dissenting voice if we do nothing, or C, be exposed to the movie with the added possibility of being shown how thoroughly dishonest and manipulative it is.
A doesn't matter, but B kinda does, and we have an opportunity to turn some fraction of B into C. We aren't going to change minds by opting out of the conversation and allowing these movie-making conmen to continue expressing their side by puppeteering a strawman version of ours.
