Dark Heaven

Amen! to all the others who have spoken before and gave this movie the boot. This was a tragic waste of celluloid. My time would have been better spent alphabetizing the magazines in the bathroom. This movie was only 'apocalyptic' because those of us who wasted our time watching it kept wishing the world would end. The acting was horrible. In the moments I managed to stay awake, the weak interpretation of revelations look like a bad version of the 'Left Behind' series. I couldn't tell if Doug Schulze was trying to get us to recapture our lost faith or run from it. If saving souls is the goal, may these reviews be your salvation and spare your poor soul from viewing this pathetic attempt at a movie.

The movie is one missed opportunity after another, you get no sense of the characters because the whole movie just constantly jumps one scene after another w/o any regard to good editing and the acting itself would be good if this was a porno. The whole movie is about dead ends, stating the obvious and what will end first, the movie or your patience with it.

Even the worst movies have that one part that is decent and this one has one as well, but nobody goes to see a movie for the hope of that one good part, so if it is on TV and you have nothing better to do go ahead and watch it, but, past that you are not missing anything.

i bought this for 5.50 at wal-mart, because, as stated by other users, the box art caught my eye. The box cover is about the only good part. I dunno if it was because i was tired, or because we had to have the volume at level 100 (what the hell is wrong with the audio on this DVD) to understand it a little, but this movie was kinda lame. That angel monster fight scene was real bad. It just had lots of weird camera shots that were artsy.

So it seemed like the director/writers were like "lets film a bunch of scenes of a cop walking around looking dumb holding a shotgun and call it a movie>"

This film was truly terrible. Besides the special effects being far, far, far below par, the story itself was very poorly done. The main character seemed oblivious to logic and common sense thru-out the entire film. The viewer is not allowed to discover or learn anything for himself, instead everything is spoon-fed to him. The characters themselves were shallow and one dimensional. Things that should have been explained are left in the air and things that were easily decipherable were explained to the most minute detail. And the story concept in itself, while good on paper just doesn't play well in live action.

When all is said and done, I think you would have more fun smacking your hand with a hammer.

...and then the movie ended. I saw nothing in this movie that would have any value. I didn't find some deep meaning that made being bored worthwhile, it wasn't nice to look at (it looked really horrible, actually), it wasn't exciting... Maybe some people could find something in there. But I found nothing that justified me wasting my time and money. I thought House of the Dead was the worst movie I'd ever seen, but at least that had some of my attention with the violence and nudity. The best of that they've got in here is some red paint smeared around and an out-of-shape naked guy. I'm not saying I was watching for that. I can forgive either a bad but entertaining movie, or a good but slow movie. Not both of the bad sides in one. I was interested in the angels but they look like plastic statues and they squirt milk when you stab them. I only kept watching because I thought SOMETHING must happen but it was just a predictable ending. I didn't feel anything at the end because the main character said and did the most stupid things. I understand the whole faith thing but it doesn't seem like it was done well. I'm just an average viewer, and this movie was boring and meaningless to me.
