Apocalypse

First off, I'm a Christian. Even I laugh insanely at this film. I don't know how anyone can watch it and not laugh. When my mother (who writes Christian devotionals for a living) and I watched this together when it first came out we almost died laughing.

Yes, it's that bad.

The camera work is horrible. The script is worse. It's filled with incredibly self righteous people. Stereotypical Christians run rampant. I don't understand how this movie got made. But hey, I'm glad it did. Whenever I feel the need to chuckle I just pop this in. I'm serious. I love how bad it is.

I was blown away! By how absolutely idiotic and muddled and confusing this movie is! I laughed my head off at the stupidity. Not only that, the video, being bad as it is, costs twice as much! Folks, this movie is poorly depicted, poorly done, horribly acted and confusing all the way through. It's like they tossed together old Saturday Night Live bits for the movie!

I can't believe how bad this film is. It's amazing. The low budget stock footage, bad acting, bad directing, bad lighting, bad sound track and just tons of exposition on the end of the world according to the Christian myth!

I am glad I am not swept up into this like all the other responses on here! It's fun to watch and laugh at! I don't know what's funnier, the film or people who think this is good and take it seriously!

It is too bad that such a potentially good film with such a great plot has to be flawed by such poor talent in every other area. If only the production of this film, and others like it, would JUST TELL THE STORY with good acting and let the message be intuitively realized by the viewers instead of being rammed down their throats with soap operatic soliloquies and didactic preaching. Christian films, such as this one, tend to influence the viewer to seek salvation in other places than Christian Heaven.

However, with all its flaws, it may, for some, be worth watching and can even have you on the edge of your seat at times.

1st watched 1/9/2009 –(Dir-Peter Gerretsen): OK media-like account of the Christian belief of Apocalypse and what that will be like, supposedly. The movie centers around a couple who head a news anchor team for "World Wide News" and the movie uses this format to display the events. The cameras used for the movie make the movie look like a soap opera and this isn't very appealing. Also, the acting and production values are so-so, but I guess I shouldn't expect much from an evangelist(since it was produced by one). But anyway, Leigh Lewis does a good job in her role of the women anchorperson who sees the light after losing her grandmother with the believers going back to heaven during the worldwide disappearance of souls that happens right before nuclear bombs are supposed to explode in all areas of the world. Then a foreign leader calls himself the new messiah and stops the bombs. He, of course, is really the anti-Christ but at first brings peace to the world. All of this is probably foreign to those who haven't read the Bible, but this movie is just one man's interpretation of what he's read and the movie is definitely trying to sell his point of view as him and his wife are also in the movie. This all makes for a kind of cheesy movie that doesn't accomplish much because of it's obvious intended purpose – to save all us poor lost souls. Well, I think the reverend should go back to what he apparently does best and it's not making movies.
