Revelation Road 3: The Black Rider

This series was great! Where is #4? Hope it's in the making! White did a great job on this. Very biblical based. Lots of faith. Lots of Jesus (of the Bible which is the most important thing since most of the "Christian movies" these days don't have the right Jesus). Really hoping for a number 4!

The world, without holiness and goodness, will be one scary, hell on earth! Unrestrained man will be all the things history has revealed to us. Holocaust, extermination, mass murders, pandemics, racism, earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, wars especially on a global scale, WWIII?, HATRED, riots, violent storms, a "savior" much like the evil world of men, with an attitude that whatever feels good, do it.

Hmmm, a lot of this is already going on. Imagine it happening all across the globe. The world has already turned its back on Christ and His Father. Imagine a day when Jesus takes His Spirit, dwelling in believers, off this planet. Then all that will be left is one evil against another. Hmmm, one evil nation against another evil nation, all the armies gathered to a place called The Valley of Megiddo, or Armageddon as it is known in name only, because Hollywood has thoroughly confused its meaning-Armageddon being a movie about an ELE Asteroid.

So, what will the End look like? It's hard for anyone to know because only God knows since He's already there. And He has only revealed a small portion of the future to us through His prophets.

The End is coming. Which side will YOU be on, the losing side? Not a pretty picture.

Its really bad,the acting is bad the budget is bad,there is no plot except Christian hidden agenda feeding you reason to become Christian. the locations are seemingly just random normal places,there is no mood no way to tell this is the "apocalypse" its basically regular people walking around in their everyday clothing with some ski goggles or a scarf.

the plot is so bad you don't even care,the characters are less developed then regular commercial. its pretty obvious some church or movement funded this b movie so they don't even care about acting plots or anything.

you start to fiddle with other stuff while watching because your brain is simply refusing to take it in.

b movies can be bad in a good way but this just bad bad.

The third and currently last of the Revelation Road films has star/producer David A.R. White now firmly established as a Christian road warrior n the best tradition of Mel Gibson.

The bad guys who control a nice chunk of Southern California led by James Denton try to make a deal with him to bring them Robert Gossett who they're told is a subversive.

Gossett is certainly that. In fact he has a specific role mentioned in Revelations and the Deity has White earmarked for a part in helping Gossett on hi mission.

For a while these end time movies were becoming a cottage industry. This one is no better r worse than some.

Maybe David A.R. white will have the lack Rider ride yet again.

The acting sometimes feels rigid, and some of the extent of situations seems unrealistic without additional context. Between the 3 (current) films, there's also a lot of filler with little plot progression. That trend continues in The Black Rider.

In order to keep up with the fight scenes of the first two movies, a lot of needless filler was added, pushing most of the real plot to the second half of the film. The fight scenes also weren't very well-paced and were like long breaks from the plot instead. They could learn a thing or two from Marvel on how to keep things flowing without the awkwardness.

The religious message is prevalent, though at times used with questionable accuracy. As with the first two movies, the Christian message is awkwardly juxtaposed with a protagonist with a penchant for killing. Though I have to give props for at least addressing the issue, it seems to be completely forgotten for the rest of the film.

The main turning point, both as the MacGuffin and in the tone, is the Shepherd. This is the only main character who doesn't seem to be awkwardly juxtaposed with the message of the movie - though he's also far from an action star.

I love ruminating on the book this movie is (loosely) based on as well as movies that attempt to interpret / depict the events. Though not quite cringe-worthy, the movie just doesn't have much going for it due to feeling like a single, stretched-out episode. When the series is complete, an abridged version might be better worth watching.
