Sunday Morning Rapture

In reading some of the reviews, I see flaws in their thinking. Such as the one saying the woman who had a miscarriage is talking on the phone, but not with her husband; it is with her husband and son. Also, salvation, true you can not earn it, or do it on your own, but it is a choice. "You cannot serve two masters, for you will love the one and hate the other. It is either Christ or Satan. You either choose Christ or your own desires, which is a vote for Satan. It is true Christ paid the price for man's sins, but not all will be saved. It is like a man in the desert dying of thrist. Another man is holding out water to him. Just because water is offered does mean the man will live. The man must choose to take the water and make it part of himself to live. Your choose will decide where you will go heaven or hell. This is what the movie is showing. People are so wrapped up in their lives and leaving out Christ. Living a misconception of salvation. Even pastors who knew God's message ignored it until it was to late. The movie does drag a bit in trying to show this. The ending is dramatic and gripping; dripping with truth. To get the full message with the right context one needs to pay attention. The acting and the movie is good. The message is strong; listen to it with an open heart.

He should have read the Bible. The Bible teaches that all see Christ when He comes. The dead in Christ shall rise. His end contradicted the truth. People need the truth when those movies present an opportunity to Salvation.

The ending was not in line with scripture.. The Bible states we are not to add or take away from what it says.

1 Thessalonians 4:16 - For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Revelations 1:7 Behold, He cometh with clouds, and every eye shall see Him, and they also who pierced Him; and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him. Even so. Amen.

Isaiah 40:5 And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

Matthew 24:30 And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.

It was basically a movie of several families fighting and screaming at each other until suddenly the rapture and then the ones that are left scream at themselves.

I don't know what got me to watching this movie, but I have to say that even though it's production value was low, it was less than 15 minutes into the movie before I knew it was going to be bad

1. Too many characters--I don't care about any of these characters. I thought it might follow two or three people as they get ready for church and someone is inevitably left behind

2. Dialogue is terrible--I've known church folk but it sounds like they had AI listen to people in church and regurgitate it without feeling

3. It feels long--the reason it feels long is because you're not really invested in any of the characters in the film and you're just waiting for the Rapture

4. It's sudden ending--I thought that we were going to watch people struggle with their faith after the Rapture, but the church scene at the end is the way people picture hell in the Bible. Anguish without the flames. The clothes are left there and when you cut to the "news" it's obviously green screen and actors

5. Timing of the Rapture--Apparently the Rapture is supposed to happen instantaneously but one anchor is Raptured while reporting ON the Rapture.

Also, there are only two characters that are connected to each other. I would've liked to see something connecting them

Such as

The pregnant woman underwater with her bills and the woman who just lost a child talking on the phone and trying to reassure her that it's hard but she also knows how it is to have a miscarriage then encourage her to go to church and say "I also wish MY HUSBAND would go with me" then have him say "I gotta work Sundays to pay these BILLS"

Just an example to tie the characters together.

Anyway, watch at your own peril and if you play a drinking game, watch it first so you know what keywords or tropes to avoid.

I just knew a movie about the Rapture would be great. Wrong! The acting was so horrible. I attempted to watch it and only got a third of the way before I turned it off. Six months later, I tried again. This time I made it a little over half way before I threw in the towel. Between the bad acting & the yelling & arguing there is no way I could ever sit through the entire show. It made me a nervous wreak , feeling like I was stuck in the middle of all that fighting. Obviously ,This must be a church production, because these people are most definitely NOT actors. It could have been a great movie...with a different cast..
