The Apocalypse

First of all, giving this film (if you can call it that) one star is being WAAAAAAYYYY generous. It was so bad, I don't even know if there's a low enough negative number to describe to you how bad it was.

Now, I'm a Christian, and I thought I could appreciate a movie like this. My husband warned me that it would probably be cheesy, which I expected, but this movie was so much worse than I expected, and I wasn't expecting much! Where do I begin? The sound alone was terrible-you couldn't even hear what the actors were saying for 90% of the movie, but you could hear the most obscure background noises as clear as a bell. There were HUGE continuity problems, the plot was pretty much nonexistent, the whole thing was just ridiculous. Of course, the acting was terrible on top of all of that, which actually seemed like a minor issue compared to the rest.

It was a complete and utter waste of time and $3.00. NEVER watch this movie. Unless you'd like to see the worst movie ever made-then it's good for that. But otherwise, don't watch it.

Seriously, what could the director have been thinking? Did they not even watch it after it was done, or did they actually think it was a good movie at completion? In one word: Wow.

Plot

In this epic disaster film of faith, a mother and father search for their only child as a giant asteroid headed for Earth triggers a series of apocalyptic events.

Cast

I honestly knew nobody but can confidently and unoffensively say that many of the "Actors" should find different careers as their performances here were dreadful.

Verdict

Generally I'll always avoid faith films, like run a mile from the very concept of watching one but on the flipside I have a soft spot for The Asylum. Are they awful 95% of the time absolutely but.......wait where was I going with this?

The Apocalypse feels cheap even for an Asylum film, the cast are remarkably incompetent. The plot disguises itself as being a Deep Impact meteor-esque film when in reality it's all about faith/God/the Rapture etc where the believers are saved the atheists are presented as uneducated and foolish.

Visually ugly, acting dreadful, plot recycled and ridiculous and overall let's make no mistake this is a Christian movie dressed up as something else. It gets worse than this, but just barely.

Rants

Recently I saw a meme claiming that Atheists need to keep their Atheism to themselves and stop shoving it down everyone's throats.

Christian movies, Christian music, Christian tv stations, Christian award ceremonies, multiple buildings in every town dedicated to Christianity, Christians in the streets preaching, Christians knocking on your door preaching and lets not forget Christians walking around with the Christian logo around their necks.

But sure, people who don't believe are the ones who are oversaturating the world with their beliefs.

Breakdown

Awful acting Nonsensical plot Pure propaganda film.

Despite appearing to have a possibly interesting storyline and plot and maybe the promise of some nice CGI, this movie totally disappointed and fell miles short of every preconception I had. Besides the terrible storyline, this movie was totally unwatchable. The acting was completely amateur to say the least and the script made me feel i was watching a child's school play (no offence kids), the conversations didn't flow like they would in a well written movies and it just generally lacked cohesion and depth, that wasn't completely lame. Overall this movie was appalling and just sitting though it was torture enough, I beg everyone else out there who is thinking of watching this, don't do it and if you have paid to see or hire this movie, demand your money back!

This movie is not even worth even 1 single star! To bring it on point..

• Special Effects: Worse then anything I have ever seen! Even I as a simple After Effects User can do better ones.

• Story: It's so flat it even fits under a sheet of paper lying in dirt. Many leaks and errors in Scenes.

• Acting: It seems there wasn't enough money to make second or even a third shot of a scene. They just took everything.

-Sound: Very much not professional. Maybe there was no money for compressors to keep one level of sound.

-Dialogues: Very, very poor. And did I mention poor? I guess somebody straight from Highschool could write better ones.

• Film Quality: It almost seems they just got enough money to tape it on film instead recording it with beta cam. Probably this made the budget explode. Very weak cutting!

Under the line there is not much left. The religious MSG which it trys to transport dies in a hole of quality and weak dialogs. Nor action, cause every effort to provide such goes under in those laughs you have over the peak of the try to do special effects.

I'm sorry.. this is the weakest stuff I have probably ever seen. One and a half hours are just a pure waste of time! Spare it with your family or friends.. That's more spiritual than this movie can ever be!

Well what can I say, this film is absolutely awful, I have never in my whole life seen such a pile of absolute rubbish as what this film is about Waste of time, money, story line is about as much use as a chocolate teapot, special effects are very lame and very loud, actors are all so wooden and speak so quietly, I really wouldn't bother to watch this film at all, it's not worth it, seems to me that they have tried to combine the likes of "Twister" "Deep Impact" and "Armageddon" (all superb films) and came up with this. Oh deary deary me if you really want to watch this go ahead and watch it, see for yourself how bad some films are these days. Roll on the end credits, at least then the pain and agony of the film is over.
