The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
... View MoreTells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
... View MoreThe storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
... View MoreOne of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
... View MoreThe story is more than an inspired production based on the prophecies contained in the Book of Revelations, it describes events in sequential order as contained in the Bible. If you view it as a science fiction action thriller then you may be disappointed by some of the technical flaws and pitfalls described in other reviews. Watch it objectively and compare what you see with what is described in scripture. Surprisingly or not, the events described are actually based on widely accepted interpretations of symbolism contained in the final book of the Bible. The footage criticized by other reviewers is actually quite effective in conveying predicted chaos and widespread unrest that scripture says will affect the entire world. In the end, it's worth watching.
... View MoreLike many other movies and miniseries about this topic, this work is horrifically bad. It was poorly written, acted, and produced. It is almost laughable how awful this thing is. This is worse than some of the bad science fiction movies that I watch for kicks. It sticks to a convoluted interpretation of the Christian apocalypse that opportunists like Kirk Cameron, Jerry B. Jenkins, and Tim LaHaye have used to line their pockets for years, but the overused plot not even the worst aspect of this thing.The shaky camera style is reminiscent of The Blair Witch Project, which fits well with the other poorly executed parts of the miniseries. If you are prone to vertigo, migraines, seizures, or motion sickness, especially if these have been triggered in the past by past movies or television shows, you might want to avoid this for health reasons. If not, just avoid it for quality reasons. It's not entertaining enough to justify wasting so much time on it.
... View MoreI thought this movie was well done. I believe the idea behind viewing it through the camera eye was for reality, not as a movie one would go watch at a theater. Really wish there was more to it though. More in depth. Some scenes were too short, Making me want more, which is one of the reasons I watched it twice before showing it to others. Everyone I know who has watched it, really enjoyed it. My clients watched it through my Kindle. Being a hairstylist, I see at least four to six clients a day. At times it was a bit herky jerky, but still riveting for me. They want me to write ten lines to submit. Can't think of anything else to say. I would buy it.
... View MoreI have to admit that I went into this event with moderate expectations and I am satisfied by what I have seen so far. Not the best show ever but does a good job in presenting the events and a really good adaptation of those events. A good thing is that the show doesn't try to push any agenda, it presents what they where selling, a dramatization of the book of revelations. It does a good job at describing and showing all the events but the acting, as expected is not that good. A nice and interesting show, not the best thing ever but not the worst thing ever. I am really waiting for the next part tomorrow. They left all the better events for the last part as expected.
