Revelation Road 2: The Sea of Glass and Fire

It wasn't great but it wasn't bad either. I gave it a five. If it weren't Christian I might have gone as low as a four but because it was I gave it the benefit of the doubt and a bit extra.

I am a Christian but I don't believe in the Rapture doctrine. John Nelson Darby first proposed and popularized the pre-tribulation rapture in 1827. The Rapture always seemed like an easy out to me - the good escape Satan's rampage before the Son of God returns. I think there will be no such miracle. Instead believers will have to slog through Hell.

That all aside, I like a clean movie where religious ideas are expressed. The movie comes from Pure Flix Entertainment and even features a walk-on by Bruce Marchiano as Jesus. Even though it is far too clean for today's broadcast TV it still manages to pack in enough motorcycles and gratuitous violence to satisfy the urge.

It's OK for Church youth night but it wouldn't get a permanent place in my video collection.

This movie picks up where the previous movie, "Revelation Road: The Beginning of the End" left off with all of the true Christians being taken up into heaven while the lead character "John McManus" (David A. R. White) still has a biker gang out to kill him. On top of that he is essentially being held as a prisoner in a motel by the owner who refuses to let anybody leave until they pay in hard cash. Other elements of this movie include a girl named "Beth" (Noelle Coet) who has seen her grandparents taken up into heaven before her very eyes and is now all alone in the world, an angry leader of a biker gang by the name of "Hawg" (Brian Bosworth) who wants vengeance upon Josh for killing some of his men and an attractive young woman named "Cat" (Logan White) who is the daughter of Hawg but is totally rejected by him. Throw in some other characters and various other subplots and the viewer might understand the challenge facing the director (Gabriel Sabloff) in trying to neatly tie everything together. He succeeds for the most part. Unfortunately, while there were some scenes which were outstanding, they were typically followed or preceded by other scenes which lacked the same attention to detail. Especially those pertaining to the Christian elements. As a result, the movie seemed a bit rough and uneven. That said, while I enjoyed the movie for the most part, I have to rate this film as about average simply because I didn't think it flowed as smoothly from one scene to the next as it should have.

I watched both of these movies, and considering I had watched another Christian movie the night before, I was expecting more from this one, going by the trailer.

No one in my family is religious, and we hate people that try and push their religions upon us. In my view if I wanted to become a Christian or belong to any other religion I would go to the relevant church.

To be honest if you are expecting an action packed movie, which the trailer implies, forget it. All this movie does is try to push across is Christianity, the acting was poor and mostly unknown – it is not the sort of movie I would go around bragging I had watched.

I gave this a rating of just 2 out of 10 considering the content and bad concept of approaching Christianity within a movie. I have watched other movies about religion, but this one I would not recommend.

The pre-tribulation theology is predominant in nearly all of the Pureflix movies about the rapture. However, this film does a nice job of creating a sense of confusion that would likely accompany such an event, and it creates a compelling if not overly nuanced storyline for Brian Bosworth's character. As regards production and even writing I think it is obvious that Pureflix is about the last man standing in Christian cinema, and if we want to know why we have to look at the facts. Of every dollar Christians spend in entertainment about five cents goes to building and maintaining a Christian movie industry and 90 cents goes to outlets which impress the senses but don't edify the spirit of God. Is there some reason why every actor in this film is in every other Pureflix Production? On the music side of things CCM is heading the same way. The church needs to commit to media at more than the level of regurgitating doctrine or promoting the Aerican CEO pastorate and leave it in the floor. This movie had several interesting things. A.R. White is believable as himself and I enjoy the roles where he plays a guy you can trust. His car was just fine. May the Lord see and send a refreshing and a broadening blessing to all of Christian media in the years that remain. Let there be a final and clear testimony to the world from the heart of the empire.

First I would like to say that all the atheists, agnostics and everybody else bashing this film and part one before it, if you really didn't like the movies based on the movies themselves then fine so be it, but to come on here bashing the films and whining like pathetic little brats because they promoted God and Christianity is probably one of the stupidest and most idiotically pointless wastes of time because they are Christian movies. WHY ARE YOU GENIUSES SURPRISED THEY PROMOTE Christianity?! Stop bashing our religion just because it's the "in thing", we aren't bothered by it, it won't change our beliefs and you only look like fools acting like you don't care while you constantly hang around talking about it. If you want in just ask, you will be welcomed. That being said, I really enjoyed both films as well as a few others I have seen with David A.R White. It got me thinking about things in my life, it had action though it wasn't watered down with it, i really enjoyed the story. It was a good film and I look forward to part 3 provided one is on the horizon.
