Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
marbleann This is not a Pro Israel movie. Nor is it a action thriller. This movie is a right wing crazy Christian movie. And I want to quantify this by saying I am not talking about your everyday Christian. I am talking about the ones who believes the world is going to end 2 years ago or 4 years ago or 10 years from now.. See they believe Armageddon is going to happen in the area which is now Israel. That is why they seem so sympathetic to Israel, but not really. You see that come out in the movie. Is the movie about the condemnation of violence in Israel? Or are they just worried about those temples? Even in the beginning of the movie while the main character is making a report we are focused on this Temple which is crumbling. Surly a metaphor. You hardly knew it was a earthquake if they did not tell you. So they are focusing on the Temples, where Jewish people worship. She goes to Israel and the same thing. The US is kind of mealy mouthed about defending Israel which is odd. So this is the premise of the movie in a sneaky way. Because the Crazy Christians believe that the end of the world is going to happen in that area they want to make sure all of the Jewish people are gone and the ones that are left have accepted Christ. It is all through the movie. Even on the airplane. The ex sends some guy named Joseph that looks like St Joseph to watch over his ex wife. We are in Israel and we see no Hebrews worshiping we just see Christians Jewish people. I just thought the whole movie was a mess. The child was never kidnapped she was raptured. That is why she disappeared in clear air. And she ends up in Israel looking for her. Then they try to make it look like it might be about some type of spy movie because of the husbands job. I looked at the movie thinking it was one of those so bad they are good movies syfy puts out all of the time. Instead I get a bible lesson from some Crazy Christians.
TheLittleSongbird Curiosity got the better of me which was what made me see Countdown: Jerusalem in the first place. I was expecting little as it was from the notorious The Asylum. Actually compared to Titanic II, Transmorphers, AVH:Alien vs Hunter, 2010: Moby Dick and Alien Origin it is not as terrible as those and some of their other efforts. Some of the acting is decent, there are some good locations and the effects are actually while not great among some of the better ones in quality from The Asylum. Music was also not so good, but at the same after watching it didn't stay in your head very long. However, the stock footage and the lack of extras makes it all too obvious of how low in budget Countdown: Jerusalem is, while the direction is lazy and the lead actor very bland. Countdown: Jerusalem is a badly written film, with trite dialogue, badly underdeveloped characters and a story that feels so disconnected and convoluted with no suspense or thrilling moments and the religious aspects did feel rather heavy-handed. So all in all, The Asylum have done much worse and I have also seen worse, but Countdown: Jerusalem still did little for me. 3/10 Bethany Cox
camsanda1900 The movie title as well as the movie summary was completely misleading. I have seen The Omega Code as well as all the Left Behind movies and this movie was in no way similar. This movie was disappointing on EVERY single level. How do you try to tell a story based on Revelations and leave out what it is truly about. The plot was not there, I felt as if I had to search for it myself. A reporter is suppose to seek the truth but throughout the whole movie, she ignores everything. This was truly a movie that could have and should have been kept in a locked vault. If I didn't understand God's word about the end time, I would be left to believe that there was nothing serious about it. To me, this movie made a mockery of the Judgement and brought no understanding or redemption for those who were looking for it. I will agree, it was not preachy but it also gave no accountability for desire to seek God either.
Chris Mackey (guestar57) COUNTDOWN: JERUSALEM Faithfilms.cc With- Kim Little & Clint Browning Meaningful, Thought provoking and explains some things in the news. A news reporter has to deal with what could be the end of structured humanity.Is it Rapture ?, Could these disasters be man-made somehow ? What is logical conclusion to A HOLY WAR ?In a departure for FAITHFILMS, This was half filmed in Jerusalem, Actually on location.Kim Little does the job as " Everywoman" in crisis and Clint Browning, Who may be an Angel, Helps her make sense in a illogical, Political-laced message of a movie.
