 so bad June 2, 2004

I had to watch this film in a university class called the Apocalyptic Consciousness. It is possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. It exploits the tragedies in the stock footage it uses, the acting is terrible, it inspires xenophobia, and contains several shameless plugs for Jack van Impe, a self-proclaimed Ph.d. Don't waste your time watching this movie, and certainly don't waste your money to buy it.

What if the end times is soon? This movie causes you to realize the truth about the rapture and with the exception of a few little flaws (such as the folded clothes), it's a great movie. If you think it leaves off with almost no ending, then you are right, but you are wrong. This movie is a part of a trilogy, and the story continues with Tribulation and Revelation. After seeing this movie, who could not believe in God? The antichrist (definitely worthy of a lower a), is so mean to people who don't believe in his false beliefs, but Jesus doesn't want to hurt anyone. Of course, if they don't believe in him, then they can't go to heaven to be with him eternally. Jesus is a loving God, but how could someone call the antichrist peaceful? He really doesn't want peace, but Jesus wants peace and loves everyone, even people who don't understand the truth. Read the whole Bible and especially the book of Revelation to find out more about what's ahead. If you believe now, then you can be saved from the Tribulation of the future. This movie is great and gives you an understanding of what lies ahead. Will the lost world be able to believe in Jesus? Watch the movie to find out!
 You Think you know... May 6, 2004
I was really surprised at this movie. I didn't really suspect it to ammount to much considering it came out a year before Left Behind did. I liked it a lot. It was neat how half of the movie was filmed in the news studio, and that they could go all around the world, and show everything from mostly just one place. A very good idea to which the gorgeous Leigh Lewis is playing the star character.
It is the age of the newscaster era. Top Journalists Helen Hannah (Liegh Lewis) and Bronson Pearl (Richard Nester) are caught in the middle of something about to go off. World War III is erupting all over the face of the earth, in country's that were once allies. While Bronson is over in Israel, Live with the explosion footage, suddenly millions of people disappear all at once off the face of the earth. President Franco Macalousso claims he has taken these people away due to religious purposes, and that they will cause even more disaster on the earth even with the war. Helen finds this suspicious, and investigates, finding out that it is not the people that were taken, but it was the people who were left behind that are in danger. Soon, an associate of Macalousso, Len Parker, is taking over Helens newscaster building claiming he is now the CEO. It seems that he is stalking her with spies, and as she desperately tries to escape, she must remember, there is one more person to convince before she can escape the spiraling doom that the antichrist now has her trapped in.
I have noticed something about all the Rapture films. Almost all the starring woman of the films, Left Behind, A Thief In the Night, Apocalypse, all of these have blondes starring as the main characters. Maybe they should change to someone different, but these actresses still do the best. I still think Leigh Lewis is the best out of all of them. Keep up the good Raptures.
Apocalypse? February 25, 2004
I didn't care for the movie portrayal at all...I have seen many interpretations of the end times, all of which of necessity is interpretive, since only God knows what REALLY happens, but this seemed to be lacking in believability. Events happened, then stopped, or weren't accounted for, and so much was purported to happen in the space of several days, that it seemed more like science fiction than a portrayal of the rapture. I'm afraid I wouldn't recommend it, nor view any like it.
 Rather thought provoking. September 18, 2003
The story line seemed to depict the biblical theme pretty well. I would rate the acting as so-so to okay. The music in the movie was good and very thought provoking. I feel it lacked enough special effects and the rapture scene seemed a bit unrealistic especially with the idea that the raptured people's clothes being "folded neatly" in a pile. I would expect if a person is raptured from their car - their shoes would not be neatly on the driver's seat on top of their clothes. Other than that it was quite enjoyable.
