No spoilers, please and thank you.
I've not read the book and I'm Agnostic. I was curious if any other non-theists had seen this...
I was just wondering if there is any underlying theological message put forth by this. Being who I am, I don't want to waste my time on this if it does.
I'm not getting that vibe from the trailer, but you never know.
Thanks in advance.
In an attempt to cut through all the chatter and answer the question, I just saw it and, no, there was no theological bent one way or another. There was one scene with a story about a preacher but it didn't get specific as to what he preached or why.
Warlock: What, like you're a big fan of the Fett?
McLane: No, I was always more of a Star Wars guy.

shareI am also a non-theist and I found the film's messages about grief and death to be perfect. I did not cringe once against some underlying religious message. It was just about the unfairness of life, fear of the inevitable, coming to terms with our own inner battles against loss, and acceptance. Very psychological rather than spiritual. No proselytizing at all.
I cried a lot and really loved it.
