In the Blink of an Eye

So if that is going to bother you, than just see something else. For the rest of you still here its a pretty good movie. It even had me thinking the next day. Yes, I am thinking person. Did you know there are smart people that believe in Jesus and God? I guess a most reviewers would like you to think otherwise.

Anyways, I just started seeing these Christian David A. R. White movies and they are quite refreshing, they may have some bits that are little heavy handed, but for the most part its a solid movie. And for those that believe or don't have a prejudice against believer movies you will enjoy yourself. I even got teary eyed a couple of times and was on the edge of my seat at the end (I don't want to give it away).

I make no apologizes for being a Christian. However, I will make no apologizes for this movie. I knew its subject matter prior to viewing it. I sort of knew what to expect; I just expected it to be presented in a more professional way.

The cricisisms of the acting and dialogue are on point. The Groundhog day aspect of the film was SO repetivitve that I said to my wife, "If he wakes up one more time from a dream, I'm putting this spoon through my head." (We were having dinner at the time.) The lead actor (whose real life wife co-starred) is in several Christian movies. He's not a good actor but not a bad actor, either. Obviously done on a slim budget, this must be taken into account. If you're yearning for a rapture-type movie, take a look. You may turn it off after 30 minutes...or follow it to its telegraphed ending. If you're looking for a terrific movie, with a Christian theme, I'd put this one way down my list.

To all of you shocked viewers. I watched this on Netflix and it says right on the genre of the movie at the bottom that it is a Religious, spiritual movie. That is just one point but also that any movie that is by Pure Flix is also a Spiritual movie. Sorry to You non believers but there is no reason that a faith based movie shouldn't be allowed in the mainstream seeing how This country is a free country and though it was found on the basis of God and our money does state " In god we trust." I think the fact that we have freedom to believe what we want is great. So stop trying to justify your non belief and if you do not like our "cold callings" well don't watch it, and next time maybe research a movies genre before watching it if you are that strongly against things. I love movies that are faith based, and I also love the Lord he gives life meaning and he died for our sins and this movie shows examples of his grace. No one can push beliefs on you, you watched the movie, you can hit stop. Its your choice.

Husband and wife David A.R. White and Logan White star in this Christian based film which was inspired by Groundhog Day. Like Bill Murray, David A.R. White is trapped in a time warp in which Logan, and friends Lonnie Colon and Anise Fuller keep disappearing. Like Bill Murray it takes him a few times to finally see the meaning of what has happened.

White and Colon are cops on a working vacation on a yacht in the Mexican waters of the Pacific. They've just rescued pop singer Jessica Hope from a kidnapper, but her manager seems not quite right to either White or their captain Eric Roberts. When the manager invites them on the yacht as a token of gratitude, both look at it as a chance for some undercover work.

But apparently God is working his own plan and the three of them, Colon, Fuller, and Logan White disappear in a flash of light. They're also quite isolated from civilization, but the radio gives indications of some kind of catastrophe.

It keeps happening again and again for White like this is all being rerun for his benefit. I'm sure his wife was a fine woman, but I didn't see anything that would indicate she had that kind of juice with God.

In The Blink Of An Eye is one of those films that if you are a tried and true believer the flaws in film making and theology just won't matter. Others are inclined to be a bit more skeptical.

Well not exactly fine-print, but tucked away clues in the genre above that let you know more about what kind of ride you're in for with this one. Click on SEE MORE to find out this is no run of the mill Fantasy/Thriller. Pay particular attention to the keywords "Religious Conversion", "Christianity", "Christian Film" and "Prayer" and if this still sounds like it'll float your boat (so to speak) then prepare to be entertained/saved/redeemed etc etc.

Otherwise don't waste your time hoping like I did for some kind of engrossing 'Groundhog Day meets Triangle' thriller. It falls far short and in the end left me quite angry at what I'd been covertly subjected to.
