anastasiag-79839 Poor acting, poor sfx, great big waste of time. If I took a shot every time God was mentioned, I'd be plastered halfway through the movie.

Anders Twetman The movie starts promising with a bunch of teenagers getting killed by ridiculous special effects. Then, just as you are starting to think "why would they make an apocalypse movie if they don't have the budget or the skill to make the destruction of the world look big and terrifying?", they cut away to a different scene and avoid showing any details (at least they are aware that of how bad their special effects are). The next scene is just two guys talking about the destruction in front of their eyes in dead, emotionless voices until they are cut off by another bit of crappy CGI, but before you can start laughing at low quality animations, they fade into the next scene and repeat. That's all there is, badly acted characters standing around talking, mostly about God and the end of days, interspersed with short clips of badly animated cataclysmic events.

twa1959 I watched the movie in its entirety. I will likely not watch it again, at least not for its entertainment value. Yes, it is a forgettable movie, but it poses a very thoughtful question for both the "Believer" and the "Non-Believer" alike: Is my faith genuine Faith? First the bad, and there is plenty that is bad. An "Epic Thriller", it is not. As a movie it is not visually remarkable in any way. As a story, it lacks originality, does not engage one's emotions and takes no time to provide any depth to its characters. As an exercise in film-making, it is poorly executed: There is no recognizable plot; the pace is tedious and uneven; the dialog is predictable and largely uninspired; the acting is pedestrian at best and amateurish at worst; the Special Effects range from pretty good to really bad. Most disappointing was the musical score, which was decent but excessively repetitive and the overall sound quality, which was very poor. That being said, c'mon folks, why such high expectations? This is an ASYLUM production, so of course it isn't going to be Armageddon or Deep Impact or even 2012.Apparently most reviewers thought they would see a SciFi film. Some reviewers were surprised by the religious overtones but I'm not sure why, as references to religion and "Faith" were plastered all over the packaging. Most "Christian" reviewers complained that it was not Biblical, and while one could successfully debate the soundness of some parts of Christian eschatology as it is presented, the events depicted are found in the Book of Revelation. I have watched a lot of Christian movies, and frankly most of them have left me unsatisfied on all counts. The portrayal of Christians and the Christian Faith is usually clichéd and over simplistic. Contrived story lines follow the predictable path of personal redemption as a life is transformed from contemptible to virtuous, with one dimensional characters that more closely resemble cartoons rather than human beings. The result is a depiction of a life experience so alien to the average person that one would be hard pressed to find any applicability to their own lives, hampering its ability to deliver the intended message.So what is good about this film? Not much. In this film "Faith" is frequently spoken about by most of the characters, but the nature of that Faith is not adequately explained, so it fails to successfully bear witness to the Christian Faith. The characters are underdeveloped, but in a refreshing break from the standard formula they aren't the same old good guys vs. bad guys, and here lies a savory nugget in a kettle full of tasteless mush. As you meet the characters, with one or two exceptions, you can't really tell the difference between Christian and non-Christian (sadly this is an accurate reflection of reality), as most everyone appears to have some faith or belief in God. But, as this is a film based on Revelation, true believers are eventually separated from the rest and the viewer may be surprised to see who falls into which category. No, its not enough to spare this film the criticism it deserves, but I believe keeps it from being branded an utter waste, for in this way the film asks profoundly troubling questions for anyone who thinks they are a Christian: Is my Faith genuine enough for God? Will I be surprised at the end?

tonyhag What started out to be an interesting science fiction disaster movie with people being hit my small rocks from space soon turned into one of the worst movies I have ever seen.Time and time again the cast members dialogue consisted of talk about religion to such an extent I had to double check the credits to see if it was made by a religious film company rather then Asylum.Also the music in the movie was so loud that it constantly drowned the dialogue and made it impossible to figure out what the actors/actresses where saying, the worst part was when the guy held them at gunpoint.For sure this is a movie that could have been better if the dialogue had been more sensible rather then going off on a tangent of religious sermons.
