    A solid Christian film

    This was noted Christian director Rich Christiano's first short film and it has become extremely successful, selling thousands of copies and airing often on Christian television. The story is compelling and interesting and it has a positive message that any Christian should be able to relate to. Technically, it's not polished, but that's not the most important thing. It's worth checking out, despite what "Ann" from Fairweather says.

    Great Film!

    The Appointment is a very good movie, watch it over and over again and it never gets boring.... Yes the story is too simple but it delivers and it gets better and better with each viewing, I like Liz Watson's character.... Basically some guy strolls into her office and tells Liz who does articles in newspapers or something that on September 19th at 6:05pm she's going to die and that message was given to him from the Lord Jesus Christ by the way...... After hearing the message Liz is basically on edge pretty much all through the film until the credits roll but won't spoil it by telling you the ending.... Great film, check it out.

    This film presents the urgency of the Gospel

    Liz is gjven the exact time of when she's going to die. She should prepare to meet her Maker.

    Hideous Christian film

    I watched "The Appointment" on the Trinity Broadcasting Network. It was not the worst Christian movie I have ever seen, but it could qualify for the Top Ten. (There are plenty of "Jesus films" that have bad actors, bad scripts, and bad special effects.) Anyway, "The Appointment" is a made-for-video about a woman who is told she has a limited amount of time to live. She is told this by a mysterious man who gives her a Bible. She says she gave those "fairy-tales" up a long time ago. If someone came into MY office and told me I only had a certain amount of time to live, I would call the police. Anyway, following this incident the lady gets paranoid and slowly realizes that maybe she SHOULD be saved. Unfortunately, she is a little too late.

    The ending isn't happy, but it certainly did not make any impression on me. It can truthfully be described as cheesy and laughable. The acting was stiff and the script was terrible. I recommend you NOT use this as a witnessing tool. TRUST ME.

    Packed with suspense!

    I was able to view this on The Inspiration Network. It really kept me on the edge of my chair!

    This film deals with a news reporter who writes an article dealing with hypocrisy in the Christian community. After it appears in print, she receives a "visitor" in her office, telling her the specific date and time she is going to die.

    This was one excellent film! This film was packed with so much truth, it is definitely WORTH a look!
