    The level of mind numbingness it took me to watch this movie is staggering

    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.

    False doctrine theology

    This movie is anything but biblical although the rapture event is true what was portrayed was a works salvation theology the preacher left behind says "if you live like like hell then hell is where you want to go" it paints a false narrative that what we do affects salvation and it removes the biblical truth that nothing you do saves you only by what Christ has done his finished work on the cross are we saved Romans 4:4-5

    Awesome Film and The point was made!

    I'm grateful to see a film where Christians can exemplify Christ! People are being critical of acting not realizing the message is to get "right with Christ before it's too late! I love that we see real emotions from real lives! This movie is one to save and show the family. Most people who are critical of this movie aren't believers they are just here to be negative about a film on Christ Return. This movie leaves you thinking about yourself. Watch this with an OPEN heart! If you're looking to be critical watch something else and if you're open to see real conversation from real people then you will enjoy this movie!

    A Loony Bin Jim type of movie

    This movie reminds me of Crash movie where the focus is on multiple people. In this movie It's not about racism, instead it's about cognitive dissonance and fear propaganda or what I like to call it Propaganfear.

    I watch these movies to get a good laugh. SMR is a fear based movie. They use violence and fear tactics to make you go to church and tithe 10% to the pastor. (Do pastors tithe?)

    This movie is about a few people being sad because they don't go to church. It's very silly, dumb and embarrassing. Iunno why this type of behaviour is not listed in the DSM.

    It's even funnier, Debo shows up and talks and tries to scare people into going to church, while he wears the "mark of the beast" on his shirt. This is comical. All characters in this movie are dumb, and it's sad because characters like me do not exist in the movie. I would have told them the truth about this Christian hash.

    In addition, the acting was horrible. Only Debo had skill.

    Watch this movie for a good laugh. It's embarrassing. If you are insecure and can be easily manipulated then don't watch this because the propaganfear in this one is strong.

    Bad but emotional

    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.
