Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Sorry, this movie sucks

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

This movie could have had potential. The premise is potentially interesting, if you like good vs evil semi-religious yet psychological drama. Sadly, this movie is mostly one half unsubtle Christian Fundy brainwashing, and one half fear mongering. That combined with some of the worst acting, and terrible dialog ever seen and heard lead you through a lackluster and completely uninteresting movie. It has uneven special effects (Seriously, one second it looks almost as good as Sin City, the next it looks like 60's era Dr Who stick figure effects), with the most unimaginative cringe worthy unbelievable fake movie fighting known to man. But wait - there's more! You have really awful transitions, hackneyed plot, incomprehensible segues between scenes in and out of time, leading to the typical sort of finale that only the small fear controlled mind of the Fundy could appreciate, or like. In short, you really want that 98 minutes of your life back if you can get it. Christian Fundy garbage at it's absolute worst.

This film is for OPEN MINDED people, those who really do question why things happen, coupled with the understanding that 'We are not alone.", that the physical world is not all there is to 'life'.What amazed me about the story line is that it provided a 'real world' example of how people who believe themselves to be 'open minded', but very secular minded politically, however also believing in a general form of 'spirituality', end up experiencing things that a 'generic spirituality' cannot explain.These folks usually believe that ANY spirituality is a good thing, so long as Jesus is not mentioned, or the Bible, unless comments about either are in some form derogatory.This film asks many questions of such people, and the answers are not comforting to them; because the film proves that by worldly standards, it is 'ok' to hate people who follow Jesus.The fine script writing does this without mentioning Jesus, or the Bible, even once: the writers did it by noting books and beliefs CONTRARY to biblical Christianity, and emphasized the popular mindset of 'believe in anything, because 'whatever' you believe, it will be right for you'.Acting is really good, foreshadowing is good, CGI (Computer Graphics) is superb, and all of it fits together nicely.This film won't make Atheists happy, nor will it put a smile on Social Progressives faces, or the faces of other anti-biblical Christian folks. However, IF you've got an open mind, enough to give what the Bible has to say a chance, the SAME chance as any other religious text, then this film is for you.Should you be just another anti-Jesus zealot, this film will NOT please you.Cheers.

Sometimes the truth is black and white. This movie is entertaining and has some really good special effects but there are some real flaws that hamper it. If you understand this was written from a fundamentalist Christian viewpoint you can forgive its narrow view of reality and enjoy the movie for the angel battle scenes alone. I thought the actors were competent and entertaining too.However, the author presents the practice of divination as evil and a gateway to other evils. Many non-fundamentalist families, students of history and the occult would disagree with this narrow and fear-dominated approach to understanding man's interest in and practice of actual divination. I'm sure the author imagines the people who watch this movie will be Christians and who better to deceive with his paranoia about other systems of spirituality. I agree with the author that fear can be very damaging, but beyond that, the movie bases its premise on the uneducated fundamentalist Christian world-view. As usual, fundamentalist Christians see no other path but their own and fear everything else.

I watched this film with my teenage kids we all loved it. In fact my 15 year old son asked to watch it again to show his friend and we all watched it a second time and my daughter said as we finished "I love this film I could watch it again" The special effects are really great for an Indy film and there are some beautifully shot scenes but the story is really what stands out. It is a great story of choices and consequences. It holds powerful spiritual truths with out ever being preachy. And you really care about the characters! It is an intriguing film that captures the imagination. Definitely worth watching!! This is a great example of non Hollywood film makers getting it right!
