newton_kerry Where to start? First off the voice sync is way way off, not helped that some of the actors obviously are speaking their own language with voice overs.CGI looks to be done by some amateur film club presumably from a Christian support group oh yes the film in case you don't get it from the trailer or box isn't your standard end of the world disaster movie it is in fact a religious/Christian film about the supposed Rapture/second coming type of film so if you're not the slightest bit religious or a total non-believer be prepared for a lot of swearing ironically I was reported to say "OMG" over and over not because Im religious but because I couldn't believe what was happening. As the title says I tried three times on different occasions to watch this film, that's many hours of my life I'll never get backNest? Well there's the weird photographer following Sarah, without any real explanation why he is doing this, they then hook up but he is basically your muscle bound idiot not capable of stringing two words together till his death where he manages to talk almost coherently,The Doomsday consortium head who seems to be first shouting that the Rapture isn't real then in the next breath trying to get to the the temple to see the end of days, meantime trying to persuade his daughter to stay away from said temple. His daughter is a missionary in Peru and collects together a couple of locals to take to the temple, one being a very pregnant girl.You have an unexplained pregnant girl who speaks no English and of course goes into labour towards the climatic end.The film fails to explain why people suddenly disappear along the way, point in case is Susan's mother who is sat in the car then suddenly isn't there any more when the car breaks down.The climatic end well of course is the birth of Jesus No 2 who MUST be birthed at the alter of said temple. It's at this point that you really wish that if there is a god he just makes the whole thing go away, surely even he couldn't be that spiteful.The film doesn't make it clear if the rest of the worlds population has been killed or taken, even at the end the last comment is "There's a whole world out there and we have the chance to start afresh" what does this mean exactly?Poor acting, poor CGI, poor Script just really bad
nattakorps On the negative sides, and there are many, the movie implants Christian mumbo jumbo into what we can assume are Mayan "prophecies." Confused logic takes a major role here, with mentions of planets aligning, disproving scientific evidence by simply saying "well, i dunno, but this is the best theory we have" when the scientific man just said "but this goes against all of our calculations". which makes no sense. Some mention of a black hole, although there's no explanation of what significance it has. The movie itself comes off as a pusher for confused biblical doomsday propaganda on a doomsday theory that has nothing at all to do with the Christian bible. It's somewhat insulting to my intelligence to plant Chistianity into a society that couldn't possibly be Christian - unless you're a Mormon, then I don't know what to tell you. Although I can't tell if its made by overactive Christian groups or not, it sure seems that way. This fits on the shelf somewhere with Bible Adventures for the Nintendo with just how bad it is. Confused story aside, the effects are something a highschooler could do, and the acting is bland, if not a little creepy. the cuts are inconsistent, as people will be doing some action or pose in one scene and it will cut and the same people will be in a different pose which is very distracting.On the plus side? the camera man used some nice action-movie filters. the entire movie is shot in blue it seems like.
Kanuck Kameraman AAAAaagggh. Actually, that's better than what you get from this piece of crap. What a waste of my 1.5 hours. Summary should be rewritten to include the "god message". This movie would be fine on Vision Network or some such crap, but it has no place on SciFi or Space. There's no science fiction - it's Anti Sci-Fi with that stupid god message splattered throughout. Acting so bad it can't even be campy, effects that don't make any sense and a plot we've all seen or heard before - which nobody with half a brain would sit through had we known what was coming. The only reason I watched to the end was in the hope that a tsunami or lightning bolt would wipe them out in the end. No such luck. Everyone who has wasted their time - even one minute - should join a legal action against whoever created this trash. Deserves zero votes. Not even a "Rotten Tomato".
fritzk 1 was the lowest I could pick and negative integers were not available. To say that this movie was a suppurating pustule on the backside of filmdom would be to do backsides everywhere an injustice. This was worse than watching educational movies on mining asbestos in the sixth grade. If you're into subtlety this is not the film for you. Although Faith Films is obviously trying to promote Christianity, beating the audience severely and constantly about the head with a God hammer, as this piece of schlock does, would make even the most wrathful God cringe and wring his hands in shame. I sincerely hope that the Angels who invested in this lost their shirts so they can never fund another extended assault on decency, humanity, intelligence and good taste. I concur with a previous reviewer who suggested that this movie come with a noose. Its only redeeming feature is the hilarious pleas for retroactive euthanasia from those unfortunate enough to have watched it.
