Jeruzalem

The problem that people who aren't anti Semitic have, because it's easy to pick those reviews out, is the first 45 minutes is a Google glasses commercial but after you get past the longest product placement in movie history it is good scary and pretty unique. To save you that 45 minutes here's what you need to know. Two attractive late teen early adult women go on spring break to Israel and do exactly what people that age do in that situation one girl meets a guy on the plane the other meets a local who's family owns the hotel they stay in. The non local man has feelings of impeding doom and is put into the hospital because he's acting crazy. There you go I saved you 45 minutes. Better movie than most of this type and I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Jeruzalem was not a bad movie, but I found it disappointing because it had the potential to be really good.

The story was a really interesting take on the apocalypse, yet it lacked in explanation of the event. They could have spent a little less time on the Americans partying and a little more time on furthering the plot. It was however not a bad story.

I liked the films portrayal of the main "villains". The acting was fairly good. I also found the small streets and atmosphere added to the creepiness of the movie.

So now for the down side. The found footage type style often gets used just to keep down costs and makes no sense in the story. In this story however they do make sense of why the main character is using the smart glasses. So that was a great job on the part of the writers. However, somehow the glasses with the first person kind of feel really made the movie kind of annoying, even more so than the found footage camera style. Too much bouncing around and it's hard to focus on anything.

All in all, not a bad movie, but could have been so much better.

Really cool concept but Sarah is so annoying it kills the movie

Jeruzalem (2015) started off decently, and i will echo some of the other reviewers in saying that the footage of the city itself is beautiful (i really want to go to Jerusalem now!), but apart from the obviously pretty scenery, there isn't very much going on. the back-story is hinted at, the character development is sub-par (leaving the viewer unaffected by their happy/ sad fates), and the creatures/ demons look way more promising in the trailer than in the movie itself.

All in all, the investment this movie demands is nominal, leaving me very 'meh' at the end. oh, the only response that sticks is annoyance at the main protagonist's stupidity (constant sobbing/ screaming type). Also, how long does it take someone to figure where to aim?!

major disappointment. :/

First of all I think some reviews are a tad harsh! I thought the idea was good and the whole google glasses idea gave a point of view film with a bit more camera stability than the usual 'found footage' types. As mentioned in other reviews the shots of the city are excellent and I found the film to be well paced. Although not original the plot was a bit different to the usual horrors we now seem to get by the dozen (killer dolls, demented spirits etc) and although the baddies are demons it's still not too religious and preachy which I liked. Major problem here is Sarah. If you like sniffling, whining, wounded heart types then this is your girl! She also falls over........a lot. Why do horrors have to have the blubbering pathetic little women who grunts and sobs loudly when in situations of impending doom that require a little hush?! OK the film has faults but as a cheap frills, couple of hours to kill it's worth a try
