Revelation: The End of Days

This story of "we're in the final days now" pretty much fails. It isn't a horrible failure, just a failure.

The characters are horribly written. In fact, it looks like there are really only about three characters spread out over dozens of characters. In other words, the same character is written into different parts.

For example, the cop who becomes a convert and the assistant to the bible guru who becomes a convert are exactly the same character. Why even bother writing two characters who are clones?

So, this isn't the least of the problems of the writers. As pointed out,it looks like it was written by someone who glanced over the bible once, maybe read through the modern King James version, and did zero research.

It's quite lame. Not totally lame. Just quite lame. Lets say it's a three legged horse in a stakes race. It's still a horse, and it has more than two legs, but it is a failure.

Looking over it, I rate movies according to the waste or good use of resources. I don't think there were a lot of resources here. Certainly no reason for a big budget.

It really looks like footage was used and put on the production table, and the producers looked over the footage and added a story to what they had. Kind of like how some comic books were once done. An artist would draw the pictures, then a writer would make words for what the artists drew.

Indeed, that's what this looks like. If that's not what it was, then I can only say the writers were flat out pathetic. If it was a story made for the stock footage they had, well, then it's not as bad. But it's still silly.

I had to laugh at the politically correct rapture. The writers, who know very little about Biblical prophecy and history, picked and chose verses they thought could fit and ,many times, rewrote them to fit their story. I realize this was fictional, the way they chopped it up they should have left any reference to the Bible out. Sure they had a couple of the characters, but this was absolutely horrible. The filming could have been done better by amateurs. Next time, read and study your source yourself, and don't rely on someone to tell you what it says. It was sloppy, and poorly done. I would be embarrassed to have my name associated with it. History channel, I know you are biased against the Bible, but this made a fool of your channel.

I am giving "Revelation: End of Days" an extra star ONLY because I am a big fan of the "found footage" (aka "faux documentary") genre. I loved "Blair Witch" and "Cloverfield", and I think that "September Tapes" is one of the most underrated films of the new millennium. The style of "Revelation" is similar to "ST", but this couldn't be more blatant fundamentalist Christian propaganda if it were being broadcast on CBN, starring Kirk Cameron, and with a special cameo by Pat Robertson. The fact that History Channel produced it is rather odd. I know that they have had several "documentaries" that were very theologically biased to please the devout, but this is beyond even those. It is like Ed Wood cross-dressing as Leni Riefenstahl in a conservative Sunday suit. If that mental image frightens you, then definitely avoid watching this at all costs. :)

The subject of the prophecies of Revelation in the bible is such a great idea that can give a lot but I feel it was poorly executed and not to mention the special effects were not good to see so I could not enjoy the series as I was expecting also the plot was kind of boring in some parts of the mini series. On the other hand, there's more than United States feels like the Apocalypse was exclusively for USA and I just say it because I think it would have been amazing to see different escenarios and stories lived through the eyes of other cultures and people but well I think we can't ask very much for a low budget mini series produced by History Channel.

This absurd fiction piece is unbelievably boring. It is not worth watching, or should I say it is unwatchable. The cinematography is annoying, the editing is erratic, the plot is not engaging, the story is contrived. It begs to believed at every turn. The fact that this attempt at suspense is on the History Channel. This attempt to lure unsuspecting viewer to poor biblical programming demonstrates the desperate alliance between deluded Christian evangelists and Hollywood carpetbaggers. These stories lack substance and foster dangerous conspiracy theories and give validity to barbaric eschatological fantasies.

Revaluation: the end of days is religious propaganda disguised as entertainment. Why bother calling it history when it is obviously fiction and supposedly a prediction of future events by a book that couldn't describe the world around it or one basic scientific reality. Not one! If The History Channel wants to show accurate biblical history, they should return to the previous programs and historians, archaeologists, biologists, chemists, cosmologists, and other purveys of fact, and in fact, history.
