sarah_thuvano This movie succeeds on a basic level -- it's entertaining. Sure the story is loose and religious and the film's surprises are somewhat stale, but it's all in good fun. There's just enough suspense to sustain interest and the minor twists of the story keep things at a good pace. Meanwhile the rounded supporting cast from of all TV shows, 'Survivor' keeps things lively and keeps the viewer going, "Where have I seen him before?" or "Hey that's such and such". Good casting call.I've read on here how people think this is stupid, dumb and lacks any suspense or thrills. Like any of the faith-based movies had exceptionally smart stories, you didn't know what was gonna happen next or how it would all end. Of course not. For a entry level religious flick, this one satisfies. Now if only I could get the last song out of my mind...!

Corwin Foss This is a great movie. Some will disagree with me but , if you know anything about the bible you know it is. I think everyone should see it!! I agree a new updated version like be nice but the message is still right on. If you can see this movie. Is not a "scare the hell of you movie",it is truthful with the Bible. I think the U. N. will play a major role in the world government to come. The last days are lining up with the Bible. Look at what has happened with the chip for dogs and cats that now has come to light to protect on children from being kidnapped. It's the size of a grain of rice. This I feel is the fore runner of the mark of the beast spoken of in the Bible. Without the mark you can't sell or buy, with this chip that small in the future there is no telling how much info can be put on it. Now, for all of the cinematographical buffs out there, this film may not rank high on your list of things to see. But if you know anything about plot development, profound truth, and the intentions that this film (the series) had, you'd understand my p.o.v.Granted, the specifics of the film are renderings of the writer, who cannot be expected to know what will happen in the end. But the film is biblically accurate and justifiably "scares" viewers into thinking about what may be. I'm a Christian, not due to this movie, but due to my personal decision to accept Jesus as my Savior. The film and potential that something similar to the circumstances portrayed therein can remarkably scare someone into thinking about their actions and decisions. It's not some cheap attempt to scare people into believing in God, but rather, a means to get your attention.As a Christian, I know I'll not be left behind, and thanks to movies like this, I can look beyond the superficialities of entertainment, acting, and film budgeting to appreciate the depth that the film has to offer. This is a movie you shouldn't not only see, but feel with your heart and soul.

elliotdowney I saw this movie as a teenager when it was first released in 2003. The promotional hype for the film ensured you did not have a clue what it was about and people who had seen the movie were asked not to reveal the ending. You went to see it anticipating something scary and thats what you got. Even 10 years later I still remember sitting in a dark theatre with my heart pumping and everyone, and I mean everyone, screaming their lungs out. Especially when everyone get suddenly RAPTURED!!!The movie set a new and very high standard in horror movies which I don't believe has ever been equaled. The characters were great, the direction perfect and the music, which I thought was absolutely fantastic, made this a classic.I still get scared when I see it on DVD.

centurycitylawyer91345 If you read the other negative posts, you realize something strange: Not a single negative review focuses on the unique nature of the movie: the Rapture, God, Apologetics nor the fact that the film was shot using the Third Word as a backdrop to the book of Revelation.Instead, they attack the acting, the special effects, etc. But you rarely see this kind of attack on other indie films that celebrate pedophilia, bestiality, snuff/porn, etc. Why?To me, the film interweaves an extremely compelling tale of 3 lawyers who get left behind in the Phillippines and have to get out. The fact that the entire film was shot on location is in itself remarkable. The film has action (tank chases, riots, etc), but the dialogue is especially compelling - the lawyers begin discussing the apologetics of God in the middle of the night at a street fire as more looting goes on. Why is this not discussed in the negative, bashing reviews?The superb ending that takes place at the world's largest Cross (also never mentioned in anyone's review - tell me another movie that has filmed at the world's largest Cross?) was even applauded by secular critics. See Ruthless Review's review. If you have any more doubts, go to EBAY and read the reviews there. You either love this film (most true Believers do) or you hate this film (pagans, heathens, Luke-warm or carnal-minded Believers). I would rent the film on Netflik or Blockbuster and you decide.
