Revelation Road 2: The Sea of Glass and Fire

I watched both of these movies, and considering I had watched another Christian movie the night before, I was expecting more from this one, going by the trailer.

No one in my family is religious, and we hate people that try and push their religions upon us. In my view if I wanted to become a Christian or belong to any other religion I would go to the relevant church.

To be honest if you are expecting an action packed movie, which the trailer implies, forget it. All this movie does is try to push across is Christianity, the acting was poor and mostly unknown – it is not the sort of movie I would go around bragging I had watched.

I gave this a rating of just 2 out of 10 considering the content and bad concept of approaching Christianity within a movie. I have watched other movies about religion, but this one I would not recommend.

The saga of Revelation Road continues in The Sea Of Glass And Fire as David A.R. White tries to get back to home and hearth, but can't avoid a nasty gang of bikers. The bikers are straight out of those Mad Max pictures and are led by the great Brian Bosworth of the NFL.

To help you along in case you missed the first Revolutionary Road film (and I did)are some generous clips from the previous film to bring you up to speed.

White's an Afghan war veteran who's a prototype enhanced to chemically and psychologically drive the fear out of him. A chemically induced Rambo. Those skills come back though in these films as he faces off against Bosworth and company.

But add to this the fact that the Rapture has come and with it a breakdown of society. The good people for the most part have gone. That's something that's never quite made clear in these films, just what are the criteria for making the cut? White hasn't, clearly Bosworth hasn't, but it seems as though a few good people didn't either.

Because it is the End Times, by definition there should not be sequels. Yet we sometimes get even more than one with some interesting plot premises for them.

When you come right down to it The Sea Of Glass And Fire is really Mad Max for Christians.

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.

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.
