Nonureva Really Surprised!

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

shipnbottle This film is one of my favourite so-called "End Times" films. It's smart, with some really good acting, and some surprises in its storytelling. The film centers around Special Agent Thorold Stone (Jeff Fahey) who loses his family to a mysterious worldwide event wherein people vanish. In the aftermath, the man is pushed to the brink--his life now a shell of what it once was. In his pursuit of the "Haters," a name ascribed to Christians, his journey begins to reveal things about O.N.E. (similar to the UN) that unsettle him.It's a good story, with some really good performances from Fahey, Nick Mancuso (as the worldwide leader), Tony Nappo (as a wheelchair-bound computer hack) and Carol Alt (playing a blind woman). It is, too, quite funny in a few parts--thanks to the performance of Nappo.The evangelical thrust in the story isn't too heavy handed. It makes sense that in the film's worldview, the Christ-follower's view is embraced, and those against faith in Christ are, subsequently, their enemies and need to be stopped.It's a really good film. Recommended.Considering that the film was made nearing 20 years ago, it's stood the test of time and may, actually, be more accurate to what actually happens in the future than we realize.

Bruce McLaren I thought it was a great movie. The idea may have been far fetched, but it was made to send a message. It was not made for the sole purpose of entertainment. Jeff Fahey played the roll well, and Carol Alt was definitely gorgeous. I have to admit that Nick Mancuso was my favorite for the part he played towards the end of the film. The way the world will end will be debated till the end of time. If this movie touched even one person, then it was worth what it cost. I'm sure the creators would agree. I know it was effective for what it was made to accomplish. Using big name actors such as Fahey gave it the push it needed to reach a larger segment of the population. I would like to see more movies like this.

junk-monkey Amongst the other messages the film makers impart in their script - most of which seems to have been lifted off 'humourous' t-shirts. "I don't believe in God... Don't worry, he believes in you." that sort of thing - is the deeply nasty message that all disabled people are essentially evil. The first two people to fall under the spell of the Devil Messiah are the blind girl who has just been hanging around for no apparent reason and wheelchair bound superhacker who wrote the basic code for the evil program (and who by an amazing co incidence happens to be the half brother of the leader of the underground. Don't evil masterminds do ANY background checks on who they employ? - and why, if they are related, he has an American accent and she an English one is another mystery.) You can tell he has turned evil because he shoots his own cute little doggie. Bad cripple.Some other random jottings of how deeply stupid this movie is: What Time zone is this film set in? It's typical of American yahoo isolationism that it ignores the fact that the International Date Line is WEST of the USA. All of Asia, Europe and Australasia (ie most of the world) will have been in the Day of Wonders long before most people in the US would have had their breakfast.For the nerve centre of Satan's master plan the O.N.E. HQ was insanely understaffed. This is the Center of the New World Order for crying out loud! Surely there would be someone there undermining someone's liberty or taxing someone or telling the Black Helicopters where to go. In fact no one seemed to be there at all. Where are these 5,000 people who we are told go in and out of the building every day? Especially on this day of all days. The Biggy. Security consisted of one person on the front desk who, when as a ruse the "Most Wanted" person in the world is marched past him (and he recognises her), doesn't bat an eyelid. He just mutters "Oh good you've caught her." This is deeply stupid film making.I loved the head bad guy's over acting, every evil twitch scowl and grimace he could throw into his part he threw in. Good for him. I loved the bad lip syching of the voice they dubbed in over him. But I especially loved the scene where, amazingly, they DIDN'T dub the voice in and we heard him deliver his lines in a squeaky English accent. OK, squeaky is overdoing it, but it wasn't the deep mellow voice that was shoved in his mouth for the rest of the time.Right at the start of the film one of the happy clappies had smuggled a disc out of Evil HQ. Our bulletproof walk-through-walls baddie gets one of his sidekicks to blow up a school bus full of kids, then gets the police to follow the radio signal back to the happy clappy hide out with orders to kill everyone, while he waits about upstairs. Why didn't he go and get it himself? He seemed to have no compunction about killing anyone else he felt like for the flimsiest of reasons.I love bad movies. I really do. Most bad movies seem to be in the horror genre or science fiction, there seem to be something about those two fields that attracts incompetents with delusions of adequacy. Watching this deeply unpleasant piece of sh1t I have discovered a whole new area of crap to explore. The 'Christian' Science Fiction Horror movie.Let no one be in doubt, this is one deeply stupid, badly made, illogical piece of filth - and if you think I'm going to hell for saying that, I feel sorry for you.Best stupid line:Standing in a room full of computers.He: "We need to find another computer that's on the network!" (to replace the one their friend just shot).She: (points) "How about that one?"

Lee Bartholomew This movie is better than Left Behind. (that movie didn't do the book justice) This movie is slightly better in that it has good suspense within it.(Spoilers?? Course if you believe in Revelation you know what'll happen) However thats as far as I go in supporting it. The biggest problem I have is they don't have that polished hollywood look to them. Even an independent film tries. With storylines so poorly written a child could do it better. (hey when your a child, your Gods best fan) Plotlines are leaking about all over the floor. Like, what happened to the two numbnuts following the dog going from telephone pole to telephone pole. Or how the heck did main cast escape the fire at the end? That was the worst. They also didn't show the temptation of the paralized man. It was a short enough movie that I think they could have added that without much harm.Unlike the Left Behind dvd, Revelations dvd totally sucks. It has three movie trailers, and a 5 minute interview (written as if it's appendix one to the movie) The cast movie listing is rather sub par.Recommendations.. if your a non-believer you might want to watch this. But if your a believer and love polished original type movies... don't buy... just rent.5/10Quality: 3/10 Entertainment: 8/10 Replayable: 5/10
