Revelation Road 2: The Sea of Glass and Fire

It wasn't great but it wasn't bad either. I gave it a five. If it weren't Christian I might have gone as low as a four but because it was I gave it the benefit of the doubt and a bit extra.

I am a Christian but I don't believe in the Rapture doctrine. John Nelson Darby first proposed and popularized the pre-tribulation rapture in 1827. The Rapture always seemed like an easy out to me - the good escape Satan's rampage before the Son of God returns. I think there will be no such miracle. Instead believers will have to slog through Hell.

That all aside, I like a clean movie where religious ideas are expressed. The movie comes from Pure Flix Entertainment and even features a walk-on by Bruce Marchiano as Jesus. Even though it is far too clean for today's broadcast TV it still manages to pack in enough motorcycles and gratuitous violence to satisfy the urge.

It's OK for Church youth night but it wouldn't get a permanent place in my video collection.

First I would like to say that all the atheists, agnostics and everybody else bashing this film and part one before it, if you really didn't like the movies based on the movies themselves then fine so be it, but to come on here bashing the films and whining like pathetic little brats because they promoted God and Christianity is probably one of the stupidest and most idiotically pointless wastes of time because they are Christian movies. WHY ARE YOU GENIUSES SURPRISED THEY PROMOTE Christianity?! Stop bashing our religion just because it's the "in thing", we aren't bothered by it, it won't change our beliefs and you only look like fools acting like you don't care while you constantly hang around talking about it. If you want in just ask, you will be welcomed. That being said, I really enjoyed both films as well as a few others I have seen with David A.R White. It got me thinking about things in my life, it had action though it wasn't watered down with it, i really enjoyed the story. It was a good film and I look forward to part 3 provided one is on the horizon.

Right, well from the movie cover (and/or poster) to this movie, then I was expecting some kind of post apocalyptic movie. So it was without hesitation that I sat down to watch "Revelation Road 2: The Sea of Glass and Fire". In retrospect, then the whole "Revelation" part of the movie title should have made be stop dead in my tracks and rethink this. Had I known that I was in for a prolonged movie of Christian propaganda, then I had never sat down to watch it.

I can honestly say that I haven't seen part 1, and nor do I plan to do so, especially not now after having suffered through this Christian ordeal. It was an affront to all that I believe in.

The story is about the rapture taking place out of the blue, and God claims those worthy to his kingdom, leaving the rest of the humans on this rock called Earth, where mankind quickly turn against one another and becomes 'savages' in the term that compassion, love and trust is obliterated apparently within a short time.

I didn't find the story the least bit enjoyable in any sense, as it was just dripping with Christian propaganda at every single twist and turn.

It should be noted, though, that the people in the movie were doing good enough jobs with their given characters and roles.

Don't do the same mistake as I did, and get suckered in by the movie cover / poster, because you will be sorely disappointed. "Revelation Road 2: The Sea of Glass and Fire" gets a 3 out of 10 rating from me given the production value and the acting performances.

This movie picks up where the previous movie, "Revelation Road: The Beginning of the End" left off with all of the true Christians being taken up into heaven while the lead character "John McManus" (David A. R. White) still has a biker gang out to kill him. On top of that he is essentially being held as a prisoner in a motel by the owner who refuses to let anybody leave until they pay in hard cash. Other elements of this movie include a girl named "Beth" (Noelle Coet) who has seen her grandparents taken up into heaven before her very eyes and is now all alone in the world, an angry leader of a biker gang by the name of "Hawg" (Brian Bosworth) who wants vengeance upon Josh for killing some of his men and an attractive young woman named "Cat" (Logan White) who is the daughter of Hawg but is totally rejected by him. Throw in some other characters and various other subplots and the viewer might understand the challenge facing the director (Gabriel Sabloff) in trying to neatly tie everything together. He succeeds for the most part. Unfortunately, while there were some scenes which were outstanding, they were typically followed or preceded by other scenes which lacked the same attention to detail. Especially those pertaining to the Christian elements. As a result, the movie seemed a bit rough and uneven. That said, while I enjoyed the movie for the most part, I have to rate this film as about average simply because I didn't think it flowed as smoothly from one scene to the next as it should have.

I have been a Christian for over fifty years; I have been in pastoral ministry over thirty years. I believe I have a good handle on the Word and the Christian life. This film says absolutely nothing about either. From the standpoint of the "rapture" (so called) the film is totally lacking in a Biblical foundation. I am not sure what a non-believer would think about what is portrayed here, except that perhaps there is a second chance following Christ's return. This could not be further from the truth. And the last thirty seconds wherein God is portrayed by a scruffy old man welcoming someone who has spent the majority of his life in a motorcycle gang and knows nothing of Christ, absolute nonsense. Don't writers and producers of these films read the Word before producing them. Perhaps they should view a fine film like "Fireproof" wherein the Gospel message is graciously and fully presented before making up biblical fairy tales. Now please, don't think I am trying to be harsh for harshness sake, I am trying to wake up the alleged Christian film making community into putting Scriptural truth into their films and stop trying to attract the world through violence that they can get anywhere else. This is the Living Word of the Living God they're attempting to put on film. They must do it prayerfully, and reverently and honestly. God will use nothing less.
