Rapture

Foiled again! This is the second time in a month I got pulled in by special effects for a disaster event movie moving into an apocalyptic nightmare. Curse my Saturday night love of dystopian landscapes. So I was about 2/3rds of the way invested when the tide turned and it all went christian in an effort to spur my very own come to Jehovah moment, in lieu of the absence of that age old hymn, "Just As I Am." The scene, taking the bible off the nightstand of the deathbed, did sound a few bells and whistles, but I chocked it up to dramatic schmaltz at the directors discretion. Up until the 2/3rds point I always thought a band of angels coming after me was a good thing. According to this movie, it ain't. It gives slain in the spirit a very smoldering meaning, and effect. SO, had I known before hand what exactly was waiting for me at the end of the rabbit hole, I would have given it a pass for something a little, WHAT AM I SAYING, a lot less bible belty.

This was neither constructed well nor executed well. It appears to be an attempt by a Christian group to give a Scirnce Fiction twist yo it's interpretation of the accounts given in Revelatoons. It fails.

Compared to the Mimi Rodgers dystopian film, this truly stank. Poor acting, crappy script and it went absolutely nowhere. Couldn't figure out its point or perspective, seems like it was made by a committee of goofballs. Who gives people money to make such horrific wastes of time? This "film" is emblematic of the schlock that gets funding and financing in lieu of genuine quality films. Editing appears to have been done by a shredder. Was this funded by some misguided evangelical group? NOBODY was evidently holy enough to escape the divine barbecue! Give me a break- even an awful recruitment film for Jeezus freaks!

Rapture means to be snatched up violently. There was no snatching up, just incineration. I thought it was going to be a biblical movie. Instead it was a a movie without a real story line. The ending was left entirely void of any meaning. I'm so thankful I didn't buy this and only rented, even that is a waste of money. I get that production and the acting were going to be bad, but this was just a hot mess.

I have no idea what I just watched.

No character development, no plot, no real direction. It's like somebody said hey let's do something that makes no sense at all and film it. Is it a rapture?

Is it aliens? Is it a government scientific experiment gone wrong?

You will never know...... because they don't explain anything at all from beginning to end your left in a mystery wrapped in bacon?

So do yourself a favor and watch the wind blow through the trees, watch grass grow, what's your butterfly float on the breeze, watch paint dry.. because that's more entertaining than this flip-flop whatever they want to call it..
